Doctor say's Go elsewhere for healthcare

[Guest archerdr1]

No argument here

[E4 No More]

The number of uninformed criticisms of this doctor are astounding. How many who've commented negatively here are actually doctors?

Unless the laws have changed dramatically in the 10 years since I practiced, doctors are running a business just like many on this forum. They are not required to treat you simply because you walked through their door similar to a business reserving the right to refuse service to someone. Doctors are required to treat emergency cases, (such as they cannot drive on past a traffic accident - although some do), but they do not have to accept you as a patient if it is not an emergency. How likely is it that an emergent urology patient walks through his door rather than the emergency room?

Once the doctor accepts you as a patient they cannot simply abandon you. They must have someone taking over, (hence why they have on-call coverage when they take vacations and such). Once you are referred out or recovered they have no more responsibility for you. You, of course, are free too see how your doctor feels about any issue and then decide to go to another doctor. It's your choice.

Just sayin', nothing beats a good bourbon

Make mine a good single malt scotch, s'il vous plaît. Glenfiddich comes to mind Before that, it was Wild Turkey.

I'm nervous about diving into scotch, honestly, what with my Scottish heritage...
