More details to this question:
I have a question? I was referred to a specialist doctor where he diagnosed me with antiphospholipid syndrome. he ordered a lot of blood testing and an MRI with contrast. I told him I cannot do the contrast so I did not do the MRI. a couple hours before my next appointment they called and told me he refused to see me because I did not do the MRI he even refused to go over the lab work with me. the only thing I was told that the lab work came back abnormal. that I had to do the MRI with contrast before he would see me again or treat me for the diagnosis. My question is can he do this to his patience? Can he legally are ethically do this?

First of all, let me make it clear that I am a board certified internist and attorney in S.C., but this answer in no way establishes a lawyer/client relationship. My opinion of this doctor is that he is stupid for not calling you back. That said, unless you can show damages to your health and that the doctor was the legal cause of those damages, you do not have a medical malpractice case. You can simply obtain copies of your medical records (he/she is allowed to charge a legal rate of money for those copies), and change doctors. If I can be of help to you, please contact me at my office (843)789-3504 in Charleston or (803) 787-0520 in Columbia. There is no charge for the initial visit, as that is to determine whehether or not we can work as a team. However, from what you have stated, I do not believe you can prove damages. Get your records and switch doctors.
