I think I am venturing off the topic a bit here, but that sentiment really hits home because I'm not very good at saying "No!" regardless of the circumstances. I am applying for social security disability and while the primary issue is a respiratory problem, coupled with a weak back, my attorney wants to know any and all diagnoses. But I have seen amid the SS papers that if I refuse (read, say no) to any specific treatment, all bets are off.

I'm wondering at what point saying "no!" is appropriate. Many years ago, in another lifetime (seems) I had a psychiatrist refuse to see me because I dared to say no to medications. For that, I was dubbed uncooperative.
