I think since it seems we can not get these people to behave, we should start filing criminal charges with the local prosecutors. For example, if they keep pulling fluid off of you and you have asked them to stop, and your legs are screaming in pain… Explain to these clowns that if they do not stop, they will be charged with assault or sued in civil court. You have a right to direct your care. Most attorneys will write nasty letters for a small fee.
If they continue or try to intimidate, call your local television station, they do stories like this type, all of the time. How do you think that is going to look on television to the rest of the population? Yes, this Ohio code does apply to health care workers, what a shame.
