(14,337 posts)My 66 year old husband had a heart attack last July. Code Blue 4 times. Before he was released, his cardioligist told him he needed a pnemonia, flu, shingles (aleady had before), and a Hep vax. He agree to all EXCEPT the Hep vax. "Do I look like a IV Drug User to you?" "Do you think after all I have been through, I am going to run out and look for a HOOKER?" Nurse couldn't stop laughing. His doctor look annoyed. Then looked at ME and said, "Have YOU had these vax yourself?" No, and I won't for any of them. I am not YOUR patient. You never will be MY doctor. He THREW his chart on the bed and stormed out after this. Arrogant Bastard. Could he keep unvaccinated me out of the hospital? Sure, he could, BUT what else could he do to me? Nothing. I was not his patient. WHAT could he do to me? Sorry, honey, you can keep going to that doctor since that is your choice, but don't EVER think I will accompany you to your visits with him.
That doctor, and a lot of people who I do not know, can do NOTHING if I as an adult refuse to go along with your program for vax, or anything medicine declares necessary.
