Went for a vaccine shot. I filled out all of the forms on the MyChart site and when I arrived was asked to fill it all out again on paper. I let them know I had done it online and I was told it still neded to be filled on paper (there were others who were saying the same thing as they arrived and it caused a delay in people getting seen). After a while I was called up to a table ....where I stood next to other people not 6 feet apart....I was asked to use a small sign pad that was on the table to sign my name off on their HIPPA form and a few other hospital forms. I asked for the computer screen to face me while I signed and I was told that it not possible. I said fine then give me the forms on paper so I can sign under it. I was told I can read a copy they had laying on the side but still needed to sign on the pad. I told them I will not sign something I cannot see. I even called up a lawyer friend to confirm it this was even legal...was quickly told no it is not. A staff member said I could not get the vaccine and I'd have to speak with a manager. I said fine...waited and waited...no manager. Then I was told by the same staff member that they were putting down that I refused to sign off on their forms. After that I was permitted to recive the vaccine.
Beware of signing off on things you can't see!!
The 3 stars is for the nurse who took care of me. She was very kind and informative.
