[QUOTE="Chl, post: 1139996, member: 213131"] The company is almost certainly afraid of being sued if anything goes wrong. Your best bet is to talk to the manager - or his/her superior and so on up the chain until you find someone with some common sense. You need to establish what should be done if it happens again. One protocol may be that you give written consent for one of a number of named persons to inject you; this can be arranged at a time when you are obviously compos mentis and in advance of the situation happening. It would be a good idea to do it at a time when there is no pressure and potential injectors can ask you questions if there is anything they don't understand. If you have a trade union, you will probably be able to get a rep to have a discussion of which way forward with your management (with or without you, as you prefer) - they have lots of experience with this sort of thing and are normally sympathetic people. On the question of sueing (spelling?) - the company may well be liable if they prevent you from receiving necessary medication from someone who is prepared to help you and whom you have asked to help - possible useful negotiating point. *** substitute "your wife" for "you" above where appropriate *** and involving a union might well help whoever is being hassled for giving the injection too *** [/QUOTE]
