[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, my child is normally very obedient.  This refusal surprised me.  I was just wondering to what lengths you would go.  I was prepared to force it when the Dr. came up with a bribe that worked.
I felt unsure about forcing it because I didn't want to be judged by the office staff.  When it comes to health and safety, yes I would force.  People used to die from strep....

We had a long discussion in the car on the way home.  "When it comes to health and safety *I* get to decide.  In the future any medical related refusal will be met with very serious consequences".[/quote]

Wait, so your kid accepted a bribe and took the test? Problem solved. What's the issue.[/quote]

I asked the question because I was prepared to force it.  I wondered if that makes me bad or abusive or if others would do the same.
The refusal went on for quite a while.  I was on the phone with DH to make him come to the office and hold her down.

Just wanted to know what others would do.  Thanks for the input.[/quote]

You shouldn't need dh.  Usually they can send in an extra nurse or two to help you.[/quote]
