But knowing how these things work - Drs. usually are well covered in their policies which most of us sign and agree to on intital visits. Some offices do have policies that cover IF treatment is being refused - I'm not saying that's your case - the Dr., Therapists, Specialists even Dentists can declare a refusal to continue to try and treat a patient.
