Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Georgia

Hello,

MY name is Ms.Smith. I have a concern regarding an incident with my physician on yesterday. After being a patient for 13 years my patient/physician relationship was terminated due to a false accusation. Every month I am tested to ensure I am taking my medications. Yesterday I had some powder on and some of the particles fail in my urine, which at the time I did not know. After pulling my urine the lab tech and one of the nurses approached me stating they believe I had crushed my medicines in my urine. I explained I has baby powder on and therefore it must have been some powder particles that fail within the cup. I was asked if I would be willing to do a retest but the cup will cost me $7.00. I responded I will do another urine sample and they can come in and watch, in addition, I offered to do a blood test, hair sample, and/or cotton swab to show that I am not falsifying my urine. At that time I was told they would allow me to slide but for future references do not wear powder when coming to be seen by the doctor. I agreed to the instructions. After sitting another four hours I was presented with an envelope that had an enclosed letter stating the doctor has decided to terminate the physician/attorney relationship due to the incident that occurred which involved crushing my medication in my urine. At that time I ask to speak to someone regarding my the letter and was sent to speak with the office manager. The office manager refused to speak with me, instead he sent the appointment scheduler to say there was nothing they could do the doctor makes the final decision. I then asked to speak with the doctor but was refused that option as well. I explained again I was willing to be retested and was told it was fine. I asked if I could continue my therapy there since my current treatment was due to an automobile accident and was told no. Needless to say I left in severe pain. The chiropractor on duty did as well as the receptionist and one of the physical therapist did not agree with the decision(they stated this) but could not do anything out of fear of loosing their job. I am medically disabled now left with trying to find another pain management doctor which will be a huge problem because of a letter that is now deformation of my character. *****PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO?*****
