This is a test of your willingness to comply with policy. Most physicians have dismissed patients from their practice for failure to pay or a failure in compliance. If you're fulfilling an obligatory role and a dismissed patient is assigned care to you, you have to accept it. Your role as a cardiologist makes any type of choice even more irrelevant.

"Although I would not choose to see this patient electively under non-acute circumstances, I would follow policy and accept him or her without any personal asides to the patient. An acute cardiac event doesn't lend itself the luxury of picking or choosing by the patient or the doctor. If the situation allowed and the patient chose not to accept me as his or her doctor for this episode, I would call the Patient Advocate and arrange a consultation with the patient to remedy the conflict."
