1)IS IT LEGAL TO DENY OR REFUSE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE SUCH AS THE PARAMEDICS WANTING TO ABDUCT ME AND GO TO THE E.R. ?
2)DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IF IM ON PRIVATE PROPERTY?
3)CAN I MAKE LIKE A TAG TO HANG AROUND MY NECK SERVING AS A ID TAG, STATING THAT I CHOSE TO NOT BE TAKEN TO THE ER UNLESS I AM ON MY DEATH BED. AND THEY HAVE TO HONOR IT, AND RESPECT MY WISHES.?
A:
1. Depends on the state and the charge but generally you may refuse a blood test--but they can get a warrant;
2. No.
3. You can make whatever you want. However the ambulance can't be put in the position of making those decisions so they get to take you if you are unable to verbally direct them.
