Let's get this thread back on track!
Should doctors dismiss patients because they disagree with doctors' orders?
I say, absolutely not.
In our office, we dismiss patients who threaten the staff, and that is it.
You can be rude, you can disagree, you can sometimes even cheat on urine screens or forge a prescription (once).
But you can not threaten to harm a staff member.
Just because the CDC or some insurance company says something is good (or bad) doesn't mean that their recommendation is a law that I need to enforce. More people die of tobacco abuse than ever died of pertussis.
Are we to "fire" people for smoking?
But I have said enough.
