Imagine my surprise and delight to read this after coming home from an hour long back and forth with my dental office. I questioned the health form questions and the consent form. I spoke with one of the owners and in the conversation I mentioned about what happened to the unvaccinated needing medical procedures. That they were denied services, what about the H. oath? This ended up being a fruitful dialogue and an eye-opener for both of us. I didn't plan on this happening, and I learned something about myself. Do Not Comply is more than just words. I left on a good note, and something for all of us to think about. This wasn't at the level you two are on, and yet I am not the same uninformed person that I used to be. Keep these informed conversations coming, we Really need them for our freedom survival! Courage is not to be viewed lightly when our freedoms are at stake. Blessings and Vision and Stamina to you both!
DD — What you did at your dental office is EXACTLY what we all must do. You ARE high level. Your bravery and kindness toward other medical professionals — and likely their future patients — by educating them were special and perfect.
Coincidentally, my spouse had a first visit to a rural-area dental office yesterday. We have known this dentist for a while (he’s active in our community) and had already pre-educated him to some extent about our medical privacy stance. He understands liberty and the desire to minimize both paperwork and treatments (spouse paid by check — no insurance). Spouse was impressed by his skill, demeanor, patient care philosophy, and reasonable prices. All in all, a win-win.
The dental visit was in contrast to an experience I had nearly a year ago with Costco optometrist office. I wanted an eye exam to assess whether I needed new glasses. They refused to do the unless I filled out an invasive HIPAA questionnaire (I told them I would pay cash; no insurance reimbursement, etc). I explained in a full (though small) waiting room that their “HIPAA compliant” policy did NOT protect patient privacy at all and required too many invasive questions that were not relevant to the exam. Sadly, others sitting within earshot continued obediently scribbling down their personal medical history. I left without an exam. Same glasses still.
DD, could you say more about the health/consent forms? Which questions were objectionable? I don't think I've been confronted with anything like that. More: "What diseases have you had - what meds are you allergic to - etc." So glad you left on a good note! Smart!
