When you go to the doctor, if you refuse certain treatment, will they force you anyways?

If the doctor felt that you were incompetent, I think he would have to follow legal procedures to have that proven in court or verified by your guardian.  Then, I believe the doctor could approach it as medically necessary and get a court order to do the procedure...  That would involve social services, the courts, appointing a guardian, and who knows what all else.   It’s pretty doubtful that a doctor would do this.  Maybe a hospital or trauma center, but not likely a doctor.\n\nIf the doctor forced you to have a test that you refused, I believe you could bring him up on charges of malpractice and harassment.\n\nI hope that sort of worry isn't keeping you from going to the doctor.  And don't ever feel trapped into tests that you don't agree with.  A doctor did that once by telling me that my son would die if he didn't have a certain test.  I knew inside that made NO SENSE.  But, I was so sure he would do something awful that I agreed.  Later, the doctor was dismissed for something else.  You are the one who has the authority to decide what happens in your medical treatment.  Remember that!  And go for the check up.

How do you do it?  And what if the patient refuses to follow your exercises?

If you can't see another doctor that will listen to you, just keep going back to the one who won't listen and be consistant. Keep telling the doc your symptoms and don't take no for an answer. You can also ask the doc for a referral to another doc for a second opinion. Good luck.

I would call your state medical board.  What they are doing seems to be quite unscrupulous since they already started the work.  I have never heard of a doctor refusing insurance once he accepted it and started the work.  Good luck.

Yes, but you will need to bring in a note from your doctor.

Yes they can and they do. Most of the times, the doctors office calls the insurance companies to verify insurance and to make sure the particular treatment you are getting done is covered. They also make you sign documents that if the insurance does not pay, you are liable to pay, and they make sure you do. They can even have collection agency on you to recover if you do not pay.

When you injure yourself in any way.It is advisable to discus the situation with your doctor and employer.If you had a work related injury the company would'nt want you to aggravate that injury and would generally put you to work(light duties)out of harms way.Now a non related injury(work)is a difficult situation for the employer As if you aggravate the injury,no matter what your duties are they(employer)are fully liable.So they do have the right to deny you work.In fact they can direct you to get medical clearance from thier doctor or a medical pratitioner acting on thier behalf

Absolutely not. Most medical facilities are not allowed to refuse treatment to you even if you cannot pay. Though depending on the circumstance, they may be able to refuse to set another appointment until payment is made (i.e. the dentist)\nI imagine that this facility is using this as a sort of "scare tactic" to prevent people from not paying. However, you are entitled to have a certain amount of time to make a payment. If you cannot make the payment in full you are entitled to make a payment arrangement. If you are sending them a reasonable amount of money each month to try an pay off your bills, they cannot even take you to court over the issue. If they harass you for a higher payment which you are unable to make you can accuse them of harassment.\nIt seems like so many companies try to bully people these days. Please know your rights when it comes to your bills. \nYou are protected under the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act. Though these laws apply to collection agencies, I am certain they would also apply to anyone trying to collect a debt, including your hospital.\nCheck out the link below.

If the mentally ill person does not take their medication, and ends up in conflict with our society because of their choice.  Then, yes it is right to force them to take it.  In other words, if a mentally ill person doesn't take their medicine and end up having the cops called on them, then they have to take their medicine.  Right or wrong that is how it is...\n\nCancer patients generally do not freak out and cause disturbances and need the cops called on them to control the situation.  So, no our society does not force medicine on them.  Although, it has been tried.

not if you have a doctors note for taking it.

I assume your doctor is still looking into it, rather than just giving you an E.E.G. and sending you home...\n\nSeizures are serious, and have many, many different causes. If one doctor isn't doing enough to satisfy your needs, never be too polite to go to one who will. A second opinion is your right, always.

Keep doctor documentation and keep fighting.  The idea is that you'll give up before they do.  So don't.

depends on what you were committed for - did you check yourself in, or did somebody else take you there?  what did you do to get yourself admitted?  If you checked yourself in, then most likely you can leave on your own, but if you were involuntarily admitted (somebody took you there against your will) then you probably can't check yourself out until you get evaluated by a doctor and given an okay.

So your question is what?\n\n\nAre you willing to risk paralysis?  Even if you are the physician is under no obligation to proceed if in his judgement the procedure is not worth the risk.
