[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctors really only fire patients for what they believe is a liability to their malpractice insurance. But I could see how questions could be seen as threatening by some doctors. [/quote] It's broader than that. My husband's gastroenterology practice, for instance, fires patients who have their screening colonoscopies done by another practice. That's one of the most profitable things they do, so they don't want patients that go elsewhere for those.[/quote] Wow, so much for the doctor patient relationship. I guess he sees them as future billing opportunities. Kind of gross.[/quote] It’s a business, isn’t it? If the doctor patient relationship was so special and sacred why would you even be going to a different doctor for your colonoscopy? Oh, because it was more convenient or less expensive? But what about the special doctor patient relationship you have with your gastro???[/quote]
