For a doctor appointment tomorrow, I was requested to update my information and sign a care consent online. The first item of the consent said, "I understand that a patient's care is directed by his/her attending physician(s) and I consent to any hospital services that are appropriate for my care and as ordered by my physician(s)."
This physician seems pretty good, but what if she thinks vaccines, biologicals or gene therapy are appropriate for my care? She did ask me ONCE if I wanted the sars-cov-2 vaccination, pneumococcal vaccine, herpes zoster (shingles) vaccine and tetanus vaccine. She's also offered a mammogram and dxa scan, which I declined. If she had asked again, I would have found another practitioner.
I have serious trust issues with the (lack of) healthcare field. I will not sign this. The provider (hospital system) has sent it to me about 4 times in the last week.
I think I do understand your meaning. I am a retired nurse. It hurts my soul to learn how I and others were lied to and that true knowledge was hidden when it suited a purpose. I did not go into nursing to hurt others, but to serve and care for them. It was a decision I was told that I made at the age of 3. I believe there are many good and well-meaning people still in the industry. Some/many may still be asleep. It was a not an easy choice to see the doctor today and it caused me a bit of anxiety. I think this doctor is asleep to the truth, but means well and shows respect to my choices to decline vaccines and tests. If those who know never interact with those still asleep, then we have no opportunities to share the truth and potentially help them to see. I appreciate your comments and beliefs, but choose a different approach.
