If you are non compliant, most doctors don't want to deal with you. His call, your problem.

Absolutely. If you stupid high risk daughter refuses to do what the doctor requires her to do, then HE could be liable for bad results. So, to avoid that, he has to drop her as a patient. Why should he be responsible for her being an idiot?

Yes, a doctor has a right to fire a non-compliant patient.

Your daughter should find another doctor. Perhaps, she can get a list of local referrals or assistance from your state's medical association.

Yes, you may always check with the county or state hospital system for another doctor.

Yes. The same as if you hire me as your lawyer. You can terminate our relationship for any reason and I can do the same.
