Unless you're unconscious, you always have a say in your medical treatment. They can strongly recommend, but if you absolutely do not want to be treated then you can sign out Against Medical Advice (AMA). Hospitals make you sign that form so that you cannot later sue them for failing to treat you.

It's impossible to say how expensive stuff can get because it depends on the treatment you need, the hospital you're in, your insurance (if you have any), etc etc, but each hospital has payment plans and even some debt forgiveness depending on financial hardship. You can also get them to reduce the bill by requesting an itemized receipt and questioning just about everything on it. If you have insurance, and they are refusing to pay for it/reimburse, then you can call them and ask for the specific MD who claims that your treatment isn't necessary. 9 times out of 10 your treatment was denied by someone who had no medical training, and they will fold.

Do you have anyone who can come with you to be your advocate? When I don't, I often write down beforehand the questions I want answered (because I WILL forget when in the middle of things) or instructions of what I do or do not want.

AYRT, thanks a lot! Got it. It's definitely good to know.

Honestly I am a bit afraid at all this because I had a neurosurgery recommendation from my insurance but the thing is, my issue has more than one "solution" (resection, radiotherapy, embolization, etc.) with different effects, so I wanted to finish my time at this temporary job to start researching to find out what the best solution for my case would be, so I could even get one option my insurance doesn't offer depending on the effects, and no doctor from my insurance EVER explained ANYTHING they just pushed me to get an angiogram (a rather complex procedure) without further explanation. They never said it was emergential either, they said they couldn't answer that before the angiogram. So I am honestly afraid that my insurance can use that against me like "if she had gone through surgery this wouldn't have happened :/" you know (then again, there was no place to get an angiogram near me before this year so maybe I can use that in my defense too) . It's all a bit complex.

Thanks a lot and I don't, but I always take notes. If I can leave the MRI place on my two feet without further demands that should be good enough.
