What was the status reason?? Seems unethical to stop treatment without ensuring patient has care in place[/quote]

In an ideal world, it would be different, but in America, doctors close practices and/or switch practices, sometimes on very short notice, and patients just need to find other arrangements...[/quote]

As a provider it feels weird- when someone leaves the practice I work at they offer for patient to follow or help them arrange alternative option [/quote]

Exactly. I'm an SLP and I think this could be considered client abandonment in my field. Health care providers cannot just abruptly pull the plug in a disorganized fashion like a 7-Eleven. There are rules and codes of practice for doctors, psychologists, etc. My own specialist informed me of her impending June retirement at an appointment today and I've been given a choice of two other doctors in the practice to continue my care. I have 6 months to decide which one I prefer.
