I had the same experience. I find it hard to believe literally ever other patient was fine with signing sight-unseen. I don’t care if I’m being “difficult” signing without reading is not wise.

Usually if you're at a doctor, you're there for an illness or a health issue you want checked. I don't think most people make their way to the doctor's office, after taking PTO or an extended lunch to go there, to then decide not to finish signing in because they couldn't read the paperwork.

I’ve never been refused service because I insisted upon having forms printed. Nobody is talking about just going home.

One time I was having some imaging done and they had me sign forms on a tablet. One of the signatures was stating that I had received a physical copy of the forms I was signing. I asked for a physical copy before signing. They said they couldn't do that until I signed. I refused to sign.

Thirty minutes later they figured out how to print it (it took the whole office to work out how). Then I signed.
