Question: Can someone force you to go to the doctor/hospital.?

Answers:
No. And it's probably just rotatvirus which can last about 7 to 10 days. Unless you are dehydrated, you don't need to go anyways. They can only make you go if you are a danger to yourself or others (mentally). Or if you are unconscious and dying.Health Question & Answer

I beg to differ. Yes they can. If not force you - suggest strongly: Especially if you have an infectious disease, or you are incapable of making decisions for yourself, or you are unconscious.
But in most cases of ailments, you should show signs of improvement after 7 days. The majority of viruses have peaked within that time and your antibodies are fighting back and winning.
That is why there is the saying by the doctors "Take an aspirin and call me back again in a week".Health Question & Answer

You do not have a stomach virus!

Like I said, Norwalk virus usually lasts 24 hours.You probably have food poisoning.

If you are a minor, yes, they can "force" you to go.

Don't you want to feel better.? the doctors can assist you in that department.You can either stay and feel miserable or you can go and get treated for your symptoms.Your choice.
