OP...sorry this has happened to you. Frankly, I fear the same when I visit mine. We are on our own.

I’m not gonna release his info. Just like it’s my choice to get the jab or not, it’s his choice to run his practice as he see’s fit.
I’m not to the point of prosecuting people under Rule 308.

Yet.

You could certainly write a review, saying nothing either good or bad about the doctor, but simply saying, "Today my doctor told me: 'There can't be any individualism." - meaning in America or in medicine any more.
He is no longer my doctor."

ETA:
Just be SURE You are able to leave a review without it showing your NAME---so others can't use your opinions against you.

(did I really say that? Pity I HAVE to say that in the 'Amerika' of today!)

Went in for a review of my 3 month flood work, and my Dr. was pleased with my weight loss, lowered A1C, but a bit concerned with my triglycerides.
When it came to asking me if I was going to get the Covid jab, I told him that I wasn't planning on it at this time. I got the whole "I've drunk the Koolaid" lecture. Was told that "people must get the shot or society will suffer. There can't be any individualism."
Said "Sorry, Doc". He said "Then find another doctor."

Too bad, too. He's really a good doctor.
Oh, well.
No loss.

How good could he be if he could not see what was actually being done.

Not sure about you but I want a Doctor capable of rational and critical thinking.

As I periodically remind folks, the worst and most idiotic mistake want to be dictators can make is to strip large numbers (heck, even substantial numbers) of people of everything they have. Once you bring SOME people to that point, they don't kneel down and submit, they come after you like they have nothing left to lose, which may be true.

If "they" think things are ugly and nasty now, they're going to be in for a rude awakening.

Like Australia.

I hope the people there don't run out of steam.

The ultimate prep was to keep yourself in fighting shape your whole life with the payoff coming after 55 yrs old. I don't need medical until I do. But that will be an emergency. No bp meds, no diabetes, no bad knees, hips, or shoulders. All from the decisions I made in the past 4 decades.

There's still time to improve. Ketosis. Prep, prep, prep. We forgot about our bodies.
Same here, 54 and still busting ass. No meds, no issues

very true Snack - the ONLY hole in that doughnut is ACCIDENTAL INJURY. until I had that fall in Feb of '21 and the resultant cervical spine fusion - in my mind I was 45 with no "OFF" switch. I take losinopril in the smallest Rx dose for borderline hypertension. my weight at 175 lb is 5 lbs BELOW what I lifted at in HS.

ask Bones about accidental injury - it can waylay you unbelievably. what I've found out is that I'm a lot fvkin older than I believed I was and still in recovery mode. the take away is

BE MORE CAREFULER THAN YOU USED TO BE THE OLDER YOU GET​

you good sir are far BETTER OFF . . . I commonly told patients in my practice that should they ever find themselves with a physician of ANY type or specialty who had the attitude

ONLY IN MY PRACTICE SHALL YOU GET WELL
it was time to find another physician


he/she did you a huge favor. send him a thank you note​

SO good to know you were (are?) a PHYSICIAN, Raggedyman--I didn't know that! -- and SO good to know you have that excellent attitude toward respecting your patient's rights!

Checkaroony. I stay OFF ladders and roofs. My buddy was dragging a very heavy object with a come-along. I was the strongest of the 4 of us and I wouldn't go near that thing. I was sure it was going to snap and take someone out. Be careful. Especially at this age. No one is coming to save you. Stuff that used to heal in a month now takes a year.

Only worry about what you can control!
My sister and I were talking last night about all the rules. She is going to doctor today and was told she had to have Covid test at the door -- will be her second this week. Our mother is in assisted living on lock down but when sis was allowed to visit she had to have temp checked and wear a mask. So one has to ask what is the benefit in getting the vaccine? We still have to wear masks, still have to have testes, still cannot visit mom.

So if you don't want to lose you doctor, why not lie and say you've had the vaccine. I was asked and said yes I'd had vaccine (the truth), at County Health in April. Doctor took my word for it.

My sis told me that there is already an active counterfeit operation making vaccine cards. Probably the same people who do counterfeit drivers licenses and ss cards for illegals.
Tell the truth, let them keep count of everyone they send away. Resistance should be loud or it has no effectiveness. Eventually they will start to understand that someone will step in where they fail. Doctors have a god complex most of the time anyway. Before you respond, just think, if they were humble you'd still be a patient, the god complex it what fired you.

It will be interesting to see what I am asked when I have my Dermatologist checkup tomorrow. I did get the jab due to my age and medical problems I have, and have no ill effects yet. Second shot was Feb. 26. Wonder if I will need a mask. I had a foot doctor appointment 2 weeks ago and no jab question, and no mask although the staff and doctor wore masks. I asked him about that and he said they take care of so many elderly people they didn't want to take chances.

think I would have told him “you suck as a doctor” “you can’t fire me, I quit”
Go out the door singing “Take this job and Shove it” as if you were walking off a job.
No
Give him something to raise his blood pressure on the rest of the day.
Take out an asp baton and beat him half to death. Then walk out.

That's what was behind my question of how old the doc is.

quite understood - there was a time when people - in fact MOST PEOPLE - thought for themselves. however today we have first year med students taking issue with profs regarding GENDER ASSIGNMENT and pronouns. where'd I leave my AXE HANDLE? its well past time to clear the room.
the specific density of INCREDIBLY STUPID has risen to unbelievable heights

Did your doctor get the covid jab, if so just watch and see how long the doctor's practice continues before health issues from the covid jab cause the doctor to close the office.

The problem is that if you don't follow doc's "orders" to a T, a lot of them now get pinched in the privates. Then the "fire" you because they don't want to know if they turn out to be wrong. Because really, what is it when they prescribe or "suggest" a certain recourse/treatment, a patient doesn't do it but improves anyway and/or despite the doc's prediction?

It means that the doctor was wrong. Far too many have oversized egos. Do I think all medical professionals are eeeevillll? Of course not. That's ridiculous. Especially when I have several that are my own kith and kin. But many are crossing a line where the patient is no longer viewed as an individual, as an autonomous being with rights. That's going to get people kicked in the teeth.
THIS IS A FACT!
My sis, as some know, has Small Cell Lung Cancer. We have to do their full protocol so the Dr's will not put her in palliative care. At this point, I do agree with their treatments, no matter how barbaric. We cannot even mention to them that we are doing ANYTHING in addition to what they have required.

If you say a word, they will put you in palliative care, and you will no longer be able to get PET scans, even if you are willing to pay cash.

IT IS MEDICAL TYRANNY!

No...not really.

Would he have told you to go elsewhere if you had gained weight and A1C had gone up? What if you refused the seasonal flue shot or the pneumonia vaccine? Kind of hypocritical to fire you as a pt. for not getting something like the vax. Either way, you would be termed a noncompliant patient.

And people wonder why I REFUSE to go to a 'doctor.' REAL doctors don't exist anymore. They think they have the RIGHT to dictate what you do/put in YOUR body. NOPE! What they forget is they ARE NOT GOD! AND no two people are alike. Some peoples norms are not textbook perfect. As far as I'm concerned they can all kiss my lily white arsk and call it Love Story.

How about hey Doc, I need you to sign this paper stating that you take full responsibility for this shot, and any side effects it may cause. Otherwise, stick it up your azz!

It happened with us too. Last month my husband's Pulmonologist "fired" my husband. He NEVER TOUCHED
my husband during the "visit". Sat behind his desk and lectured us to get the Pfizer vaccine. Said my husband can now be treated by the VA. We sat there in utter shock by his rude behavior.

Told our regular Dr. about this and she too was appalled. She is not pushing the shot on us and has been holding out on taking it herself. We also got a bill from the Pulmonologist for $380.00 which we had to pay. We are not anti-vax but there are medical issues that we are concerned will be aggrevated by taking it. Waiting till we talk to our Cardiologist who will probably fire us too. This is in Colorado.
