I might do that next week. She’s really determined that I take them. When she said it was time for my pneumonia shot three years ago, at the end of my visit she said, “sit tight, you’re getting your pneumonia shot today”, and before I could get up, the nurse was in there sticking me. That hasn’t happened again. I was ready for it the next time. Her nurse gives a crappy shot and I couldn’t raise my arm over my head for two weeks. It was a month before the knot went away. I told her not to do that anymore and if I wanted a shot I’d get it at CVS.
Wow, what happened to your right to say no?? I’m at least asked.
I’ve noticed that vets “telling” me my dogs need vaccinating. No, they don’t. They get rabies a few times, but that’s it. But they really push it. And if they REALLY push it, I tell them, my breeder is a vet tech and vaccinates them when she visits. Anyone can vaccinate their dogs for all the other things, but not rabies. I do get them vaccinated as puppies, but that’s it.
My sister once got her pneumonia vaccine a few years ago and a couple months later came down with double pneumonia. I honestly thought she was going to die. She was so sick. I had to call her boss (jab fan pediatrician) to tell her to go to the ER. Now, if I were my sister, I’d think... “hmm, the pneumonia shot did not work, why should get any more vaccines?”
time for a new doc
