That is really really bad Mylitta, unfortunately far too many doctors (and nurses) bully people into having many things, not just vaccinations (as many mothers will know). It's so wrong and the worst thing is it's counterproductive, it doesn't even help their cause it's just stupid!
You should defiantly complain. I found this ABC article about health complaints a while ago that might help:
OMG I am so angry for you!!!!! You should not have had to go through that at all! All I did was go to my GP and she said 'yeah the risks are blah blah but I'm sure you know that' and signed my form.
hun, i'd be making a complaint.
They are there to make sure your informed and to provide guidance, not to judge and manipulate the way you raise your children.
That is an INSANE story! I am really angry for you! What year are we living in for freak sake? I really think you should complain. I wish I was there with you to stand up and tell them what for grrrrrr.
I got a form signed from a GP but didn't lodge it anywhere. I don't know where or why it needs to be lodged with anyone really, it's no-ones business at this stage as ds is not in daycare or school.
Gosh the more I read about professional bullying the more thankful I am for my pregnancy and birth with the carers that I had. No one said anything about any of our choices. They didn't even come near us with a needle in the hospital and were extremely supportive of all our decisions.
Oh my goodness I am so angry for you! My GP actually encouraged me to have my forms filled in so I would have no pressure for the immunisation register whilst I was deciding which, if any, vaccinations to accept. No belittling, no arguing. He knew my reasons and chose to support me instead of bully me. There is no way you should have faced that treatment, and personally I would be putting in a complaint against the GP too for not having access to the information he needed to support you.
