Thank you. You’re really actually reminded me of the other thing that happened at the cancer center. I was really uncomfortable with my doctors dismissive manner. They have a group of several doctors to choose from. I called and asked to switch doctors. They said I need to tell them why and that I have to start some sort of form for them to review. I explained that I was uncomfortable with the doctor. They told me that he was going to review it and decide what I get to do. Then after waiting a long time with no treatment he said that I cannot go there. He wants me to go to the next cancer center over an hour away. I was upset hearing this because I would have to drive in the snow while feeling sick and can’t walk. So the receptionist told me I could contest it. After I contested it they finally gave me another doctor. It was a long process and I didn’t get treatment during that time.

@anon0 That's almost criminally-bad treatment. They were punishing you for exercising a basic patient right.

Is there a regulatory body down there in the U.S. that you could lodge a formal complaint with, or are you (understandably) worried about rocking the boat when they're so willing to abuse their power?
