I went for a hospital test recently (UK) – I refused a Lateral Flow Test. The two doctors were uncertain about what to do. I asked what they normally do when this test is refused - they said it hadn't happened before. I waited patiently (and silently) until they decided what course of action to take. They donned full hazmat type suits, masks with respirators on the side and plastic shields in front of their faces, then they removed the furniture, yep….. I kid you not– some one else came in and took out all the removable furniture. Before he donned his gloves the doctor handed me the pen from his pocket to sign the consent form, I used the pen and handed it back to him, he put it back in his pocket. How do you expose lies when it's as stupid as this??!!
That's cool. Thanks. You made me feel a lot better! You know - these two doctors went mad on the bully tactics too - how bad it had been for them in ICU, how I was jeopardising their own personal safety, how they were a small department and if they got ill then everyone else would be affected by my selfishness. Since there were no questions involved I remained silent but I held eye contact without let up. Human to human. and I knew they knew!! What kind of people does that make them??
They aren't demiGods. Most of them--unless they pursue further medical training in other paradigms--are trapped in a world constructed purposefully to see things one way. Look upstream at who controls them, have pity on them, and steer clear unless your condition matches their narrow world view.

You just did.
