Due to the building distress, I had to leave the ER while my vital organs are failing. My life and gealth was less important than the breed and other irrelevant personal info abt my service dog!!
The staff and medical professionals are unproffesional and unaware of the important role real service dogs!!! They don't care about my ADA rights and basically address my service dog before me. Every single visit to this darn hospital. They insist on personal info abt my service dog, just for their own personal interest. Several Drs have refused to continue my care until I satisfied their ongoing inappropriate breach of my privacy pertaining my service dog's info (always unrelated to my disabilities or the service animal's trained tasks).
The arrogance and retaliation of the staff and Drs when, i decline to answer their personal questions, that incriminate me and put my service dog in a harder position of making it harder to work. Its disgusting and this harassment has denied me access to much needed adequate care.
They clearly aren't used to accept/respect my boundary or just no. Several nurses, Valet parking staff, abd Drs have used co-workers and other patients to create a public spectacle abt my invisible disabilities and to reinforce answers that are irrelevant to my physical health issues.
Listen, there are a lot if fake service dogs at your premises due to the patient's privileged backgrounds. but there are real service dog handlers like myself whom really need you to set an example to the public and co-workers of how to respect the handlers and ignore their Service Dog. Any distraction and invasive personal questions are a breach of privacy and its an abuse of power.
In my last ER visit, my service dog insisted on me leaving after the 4th professional focused on the dog as if its a pet, and it didn't want to put me in a situation that could give that staff a reason to deny me access to the entire hospital, as staff truly are rather using the ongoing questions abt the dog as a way to escalate me. The public spectacle and humiliation is harmful and you should be held accountable!
To the patient's with fake service dogs, it impacts real service dog owners far beyond this hospital. Your personal opinion isn't overriding Disabled ppl's ADA rights!!
"Some disabled Service Dog handlers don t like to chat about their Service Dogs. Most like to go about their day, just like you! Also, never ask personal questions about the handler s disability or intrude on their privacy. Keep these simple Service Dog etiquette tips in mind, and you ll have a far smoother experience when you see a Service Dog in public.
Smile and be polite to the Service Dog s handler, but most of all:
Do not pet the Service Dog
Do not distract the Service Dog in any way
Please ignore the Service Dog entirely. You re not being rude if you don t acknowledge the Service Dog s presence."
