if you are in your right mind and can answer questions such as your name the date the president, then you can refuse treatment, they cannot take you against your will if you are in sound mind and can answer those questions it constitutes as assult and battery, you can sue on those grounds if you were in your right state of mind.
Anyone can refuse any treatment they do not wish to have done regardless. They can only perform a treatment with your full consent and if you have not consented then sue them for every penny they have got - get their licences revoked. I have refused treatment on numerous occassions and there is nothing they can do about it
