Hello. Your question is somewhat unclear. If you mean that a physican has notified you to seek medical care elsewhere, in my state, Minnesota, such an act would be permissible. Typically, the physician would notify the patient in writing, stating the basis. Do seek private attorney help for your needs from an attorney licensed in your home state. All the best.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
