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 by you, you have to accept it.

"Although I would not choose to do this electively, I would follow policy and accept, without any personal asides to the patient. If the patient's parents chose not to accept me as their child's doctor for this episode, I would call the Patient Advocate and arrange a consultation with the patient to remedy the conflict."
