That they have the authority doesn't mean they should have the authority. There is nothing more sacrosanct that bodily autonomy. It doesn't matter if the doctor "knows better" or the medical testing you don't opt in for could potentially lead to worse medical outcomes for you. If you are an adult, it should be your right to decide what testing and procedures are performed on you - full stop.
