(this is just where my life takes a whirlwind of conflict and confrontation with everyone and anything, Though this one happens to start with immunizations and my child, I was not against immunizations, but I am against people, with or without degrees, thinking they can impede on my RIGHTS on my CHOICES, Bully me, insult me, take away any of my freedoms or force me into something, deny me answers, or have inadequate proof or lie to my face.)
In 2006 I now have 2 kids. Lylah who was 2 and Evelyn who was just born Jan 7/ 06. In April of 06 there was some stuff going around like a cold and a rash of sorts being passed from kid to kid. Evelyn had a rash and I did not know what it is, though I think it is Eczema as my next 2 kids had it bad.
Well she also had a cold, she is 3 months by now and also due for the baby well check up.
I NEVER EVER allow my children to get Immunizations done when they are SICK. I do not and will not. Considering she also had a rash that I had no clue what it was, I will not be over driving my child's immune system at 3 months with man made chemicals and their version of polio (maybe it is dead maybe not lets take a guess on your child) needle.
I had every intention of coming in when she was done with this mystery rash and cold to get her immunizations done. When I get to the clinic I have to see a doctor I already knew i did not like and had heard from my friends who had gone to her that she sucks and she is weird. Dr. Jacqueline Marie Fignar, ruined all respect and faith in doctors I may have had. Not only were the rumors of how horrible of a doctor she was true, but she personally attacked, short of stabbing me in the face.
I came to her because I needed cream for my babies skin, all she wanted to talk about were immunizations. I told her very kindly and repeatedly, No thanks She is sick and I get immunizations done when the kids are not sick. She SAID " What is the big deal, so she has a sore leg give her some tylenol." I said no thanks I do not do immunizations when My children are sick.
She kept on and on. Then she called me STUPID. Because I would not get immunizations done that day. I said I will be having them done when she is better most likely next week thanks. She started showing pictures of orphans in Africa who were swollen and defected by some disease or another. I will not be doing it today thanks. She started asking me about my other daughters immunizations. Which to be honest she was not up to date as THE CLINIC themselves DID not have the immunizations IN STOCK the doctor told me to just come back later when everything was in stock. The CLINIC denies ever running out of stock which is where LIARS come in as why the heck would I even fabricate such a story, I have better things to do.
Well then she starts getting even more aggressive in tactics, Jacqueline Marie Fignar then says " I am going to have your children removed from you today if you do not get immunizations done today." She said. I was thinking how bold and how rude and a great many other words were and still do run through my head.
She walked off to get my cream prescription. She handed to me and said the same thing again. I said go ahead send them on over I will be home in about 10 minutes you have my address. I was waiting in line to get the prescription filled she comes over and says " I just wanted you to know I called them and they will remove your children from your care today because you did not get immunizations done today." I was getting really ticked off with Dr. Jacqueline Fignar. How dare she, and how dare clinics who approve of this kind of behavior. I was infuriated. I got the cream and when to the front desk slammed my hands down and screamed I need to see whoever is in charge of this clinic NOW.
Hehe, he was not there, but someone else was. He said well I do not know what was said and blah blah blah basically he couldn't do anything. I went home called my mommy.... of course, wrote everything that happened down so i would not forget what happened and how it happened.
NOW at this time in my life I am living on a MILITARY BASE. Is there a difference between civilian doctors or military doctors? YES I am actually able to bring a hefty lawsuit against a civilian doctor.
The next day or so I went to family advocacy (which is who she called to report whatever you could call this)
I talk to one of the counselors and he told me some things about Mrs. Jacqueline Marie Fignar in confidence. I will not spout it on open blog. She really needs to be evaluated and then her medical license removed she is unstable. Needless to say, they told me she claimed way more crazy stuff then what actually happened, She claimed I was refusing any and all vaccines forever, some misc. child abuse and a bunch of other stuff. I told them all of my intentions for my children and they agreed with me and said she went way to far with this whole thing. They were impressed I came in to talk to them to clear things up and or share my side of the story and reassured me that my children will not be removed and she could not make that call anyways, She does not have the power to up and remove your kids from your care in 1 day, there would be investigations and ect.
Well I was still upset because the clinic had responded to my email of events and siding with her decisions. I had also gone to my husbands command VAW115, they were completely on my side and agreed with the Family Advocacy that dr. Jacqueline Marie Fignar took things way out of hand. I had letters from the clinic fighting, the command stepped in and were still fighting with the clinic to leave me alone up to the day we moved. It was interesting. When my husband went to get his final transfer papers signed the CO Bolt (at the time) told him they are still fighting though emails with the clinic about the whole situation.
The clinic keeps saying I have no choice you have to get immunizations done. I Say I have choices. IF WOMEN can make the decision to kill their unborn "pro choice" I should also have the choice of WHEN I get my kids immunizations (if any) done. If I want to get them done when they are not sick than I will do it when they are not sick.
ALSO some points I made to the CO and the clinic and Family advocacy were, if immunizations were mandatory, then I would not have to sign a paper to allow them to administer my child with the immunization. IF IT WERE MANDATORY I WOULD NOT HAVE TO SIGN A RELEASE FORM. I would not have to give the O.K.
The CO thought that was hilarious and true, FA agreed. The clinic, not humored, and not backing down. THEY included an outrageous LIE , a fabricated story of what happened in MY MEDICAL RECORD!! So I printed out my version of events and pasted on front.
All this because I wanted to wait a week. Even if immunizations were mandatory, I can still choose not to have them done when my children are sick.
It was a stressful battle and it ruined my last few months I had at that command. It instilled lack of trust, lack of faith in the doctor aspect of life with my kids. They do not have my children first, they do not have manners or respect for me or my kids.
I lost respect, faith and trust in the medical aspect of life all because of dr. Fignar.
Is this normal? does this happen to everyone? Do other people just give in to tactics such as these? I am a fighter and will not allow this behavior be done to me. I wish I could help others but I really do not know where to start. All I know is if your in a rut like me, where this type of stuff happens more then once to you all I can say is keep fighting. Take a tape recorder with you every doctors visit, lawyer visit, house cleaning business visit, car dealership visit.
Although if it were to happen to me today I now know to utilize the attorney generals office complaint filing page, get what the doctor is saying in writing or visit again with a tape recorder haha.
I would just fight harder, better, and I would call the cops in the office at the time the person starts making false allegations and threatening you with words or personally attacking you. Fight for your rights as a parent do not back down or you have let them win.
