[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am hearing this is becoming an issue. It seems a Dr can refuse to see a patient if the patient is deemed annoying (by asking questions) or for no reason at all. 
Until recently I have never heard of this and I have heard this multiple times. In some cases the patient is on Medicare. How can this be suddenly happening? 
Is it legal and what is the driving force? [/quote]

OP I am not a doctor but a healthcare professional who works with a variety of patients.

I “fire” patients all the time for non-compliance. I am not there to validate their own perspective about their health. If they don’t agree with my approach and take action to implement I’m not interested in working with them. [/quote]

The pp is correct. Doctors are autonomous professionals any are not required to take on any and everyone unless they are working in an ER.

A lawyer doesn’t have to take or keep your case, a contractor doesn’t have to do your job. Neither does a doctor if they think you can’t work productively together.

You’re not entitled to treat a professional poorly and still demand they serve you or do business with you. Perspectives may differ but unless you can prove it is discrimination against a protected class, you are free to find another doctor.[/quote]
