I went to a new doctor last week for a hand issue, and when the nurse left the room, my medical chart was left open on the computer screen. There, in a 2 inch by 1 inch block in the top, right corner in large, bold letters, it said PATIENT REFUSED. I always figured my refusal of the jab was displayed somewhere because I could always tell the doctor’s reaction to me. But the size of this literally screamed to any doctor that I had not complied. I almost felt violated with the size emphasis to make sure no medical person ever misses that I bucked their order. It fully taints any trust or relationship I have or could have with that medical person.

We've done the same thing but did not know about the locking of your medical records. Anything not pertaining to the issue at hand is off-limits. My pcp threatened to drop me because I refused certain annual tests repeatedly and annual physicals. Although the next time that I'm asked if somebody is beating me I think that I'll reply "Yes. My computer is beating the shit out of me when I play rummikub."
