Can my parents legally make me go to treatment for bulimia? Help, please!?

Question : Can my parents legally make me go to treatment for bulimia? Help, please!?
I’m 17 years old. My parents found out that I purge after eating. They sent me to see a therapist (who doesn’t even specialize in Eating Disorders), and after finding out I’ve been doing this over two years, she made me attend an outpatient program for two weeks. I didn’t “improve” so they’re making me go to an inpatient program in another state?!? I’m a senior in high school, I will be 18 in July, I only have a few months of school left- I don’t want to spend these best months of my life in a treatment center away from my friends.

How can I make them stop?! I tried to express my concerns but no one would hear it- not even my therapist!!! I’m not even bulimic, I barely have any problem, sure I throw up sometimes but does that make it ok to do this to me?!

Do I legally have to go to this center? Do I have any other options?

Thank You.

Techniqually you are not 18 yet so yes you have to go.

Can a NYS physician legally refuse to treat a child who has not been immunized on competent medical advice?

Question : Can a NYS physician legally refuse to treat a child who has not been immunized on competent medical advice?
A woman recently moved into NYS, having lived in a state where her family physician advised against the routine immunization of her how-8-yr-old son on the basis of serious hereditary risks.

When the child developed an ear infection, she took him to a doctor who’d been recommended by a friend, and was surprised and upset when he refused to accept the child as a patient. She is aware of State Ed regulations requiring immunizations for school attendance, but since she home-schools the child, was not aware that obtaining routine medical treatment for him might pose a serious challenge.

Do State Laws and/or the Canon of Medical Ethics permit physicians to refuse treatment to children who have not been immunized in response to competent medical advice, and who suffer, e.g., a minor infection easily treatable with antibiotic therapy? Or does this leave his parents with the ER as their only health care option for him?

There has to be a doctor that will see him. You’d think anyways. She should call around to different doctors and ask them. I also think that doctors can do that. My daughters doctor wanted to do an EEG on my daughter and I refused it and now he may not want to see her anymore. I only refused the EEG because they wanted to put her to sleep to do it. When she got her MRI they put her to sleep and she almost died.

Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay…until you are 17 they can do this. After that you are free to remain in denial and slowly kill yourself all you want.

Answer by Common Sense is Always Best
its not normal to throw up after eating.. You need to either correct that yourself or go see a specialist as much as you dislike it. Your parents are doing the right thing, if i were you and i hated seeing doctors and wasting all my time with them, i would fix things myself cuz its actually a serious problem.

You know, I would’ve loved it if my mom had cared this much about me when I was 17. Instead, she was preoccupied with trying to please me, and trying to be my “friend.” So she let me date a 38 year old and drove me to his house sometimes.

Be thankful that you have someone who cares!!!

Why do you want to protest abortions? People have the right to do what they want with their own lives. It’s not up to you to stop a woman from getting an abortion if she wants to.

abortion clinic

Best answer:

Answer by Jon A
Go home and move on with your life.

Protesting won’t stop abortions and until the Supreme Court overrules Roe vs Wade, there will always be abortion clinics and “pro-choice.”

And you only protest outside a clinic, you can’t go in and protest. They can have you removed from the building and if you and the other 50 refuse, then all of you will get a nice trespassing charge on you and probably a few more.

Do what I said in my first sentence.

Can I legally dispose of prescription medication without a pharmacy tech license?

2

I work in a local pharmacy have held that a person of prescription drugs that can be returned by customers. You have hazardous waste pit in a small room, where the employee is a refrigerator. My question is, do not have a draft license for the drug in ANY WAY handle and can have this be considered illegal, since anyone easily put their hand in this box full of pills of all kinds and they stolen? Who must I do? By the way, the RX is in charge of the owner and I do not want the possibility that I note the report. The boxes they use to throw in the pills are wide open, as I said, I can go and grab a handful of pills me. . it must be illegal.

Should people who are suffering from clinical depression be legally allowed to euthanise themselves?

15

If a person is suffering from clinical depression, do they have the right to decide to euthanize themselves?

Or would you say that they can not make such an informed decision in that mental state.
Medical euthanasia. Not suicide.
