    Medical Should medical staff stop when you tell them to?

    I don't have any firsthand experience with medical trauma and/or mistreatment, but just based on my personal morals, I think it depends on the situation. Informed consent is also definitely a thing that applies in a lot of medical situations. In the specific situation that you described, I...
