Yes, when you check in, don’t sign on the electronic pad after scrolling through pages of fine print giving them all kinds of broad permisssions. Tell them you can’t read the electronic version and to print it all out on paper. Then you can cross-out and write-in as you please, initialing each change you make, before you put your signature on it. Then have them make a copy “for my records.”

IMHO, it's not enough to just cross things out and sign it. Most healthcare professionals don't actually read it and carry the consciousness that they are in charge and have the power to overturn your instructions and make choices for you because they know better. This is where anticipating the weak link comes in. It would be best to loudly and vocally make sure EVERYONE knows that you are not to be injected with any vaccine or mrna injection at any time, to hand out copies of your highlighted instructions to everyone who has the ability to inject you with anything, and to make sure that they understand that your health advocate and lawyer are physically in the hospital or on standby to make sure your instructions are followed, or else. Because once you get injected - "Oh, sorry, we missed that" - or learn they injected you while you were under anyway, then it cannot be undone. This happened to someone I know. She suspected she was given the vax at a routine doctor's visit, even though she said she didn't want one. Later on the doctor refused to release a copy of her medical file.

Refusing to release medical records to the patient sounds like grounds for lawsuit to me!!

Yeah, but the defense attorney will say, "Prove it". You can be sure that there will be no direct link of causation, and no record anywhere in the doc's files.

Your medical records belong to you, not the doctor. They must give you a copy.

Very wise, thank you @Horizons. My wife has a procedure coming up in the next couple months and we are going to do what you suggested.

Yes and give yourself plenty of time to go through all the documents they want you to sign. Think of how many people just blindly sign them without reading what they’ve agreed to and who all has access to your electronic chart??

Can they send these documents out ahead of time so patients don't have to sign them at the time of admission, when they have more time and brain band-width to read/edit the documents?
