[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Well, shit. If you don't want the test, don't do it. You can refuse any test, medicine, or procedure you want. No one is forcing you. Just don't blame the doctor for not diagnosing your illness sooner.[/quote] Like the PP said, you sometimes can't just simply refuse tests. Doctors can decide that they won't treat you if you don't follow their recommendations. I'd even be fine signing a waiver each time I wanted to refuse a test. If docs are worried about lawsuits, just have a document on hand saying 'I understand the risks of deferring this test, and choose not to have it done at this time.'. That wouldn't seem too difficult and it should somewhat put the docs at less risk for lawsuits. I think as more information is easily accessible to the public, the public will demand even more say in their healthcare procedures versus just going along with what the doc wants. [/quote]
