Can a doctor forcefully inject medication, when I admantly told him I did not want any drugs in my system?

Answer:
You don't say how old you are.if you are under 18, then the answer would be yes. If not, then I don't think they can do that against your wishes. What is the drug?

It really depends on what was going on at the time. If you were out of control, and they had to give you something to calm you down. Yes they can do this. If someone else was present and gave them permission, Yes they can do it. If you are under age. Yes they can do it. A relative can give them permission. In an emergency and its a life and death situation I am sure they can do it. Most times there is someone else that told them they could.
