I'm not sure what offices may have you signing now, but do remember that you have the right to refuse to sign away your rights. You and your physician need to discuss trust issues, as well as privacy issues. I'm sure they don't like it any more than you do, but too often many of us think we "have" to sign on the line when, in reality, we do not. Dissent starts with us, extends to our representatives, and then on up the line.
