Legality of Foley Catheterization?

[Frosted Pumpkin]

Okay so I was in the hospital because some fool said I was drunk and suicidal. Unbeknownst to him, I have never been suicidal. But I have been drunk and on this night, yeah I was a little intoxicated.

So the hospital people tell me I have to piss in a jug. I tried but they were all standing around and I'm saying "Hey a little privacy please!"

So they go out and start talking in the hallway so I say "Be quiet! How do you expect me to focus here?"

Well I couldn't do it. So someone comes in and says "You're not gonna make us take it out of you are you?" (Implying he was going to Foley me)

I said "Let me try one more time," like a frightened little child.

So the question is if they tell me to piss and I tell them to shove it, can they legally do that to me?

You have the right to refuse whatever treatment that is suggested to you. And anyways, a foley can be particularly difficult to place in a patient who doesn't want one.

You must not be a psychiatrist.

Oh okay because I didn't want to have to lay down the law with those medical types next time I go in for something. As far as I'm concerned nothing goes up there. Like the butthole, it's an exit only as far as I'm concerned.
