that sounds terrible!!
I think it highlights the importance of knowing your rights when you're a patient.

I feel lucky because where I live they can't make you take anything (unless court ordered) and I am sure it is against the human rights act to refuse to give you BP meds unless you take their meds. (isn't that called blackmail??) And as long as you are willing to have treatment they cannot put a court order on you. So if you say I will go to this hospital with that dr, they can't legally do anything. but here the laws also differ between states just to make it more confusing

I'm sure you will be more wise and weary in the future
