I agree,  except all the doctor has to do is to make the case that the LC is,
in  his/her opinion, "harming" his patients or the doctor-patient
relationship.

Nancy, this is kind of a scary statement.  It sounds like if a patient
requested other services that a physician does not care for, they would be  either
denied these services or the LC who saw the patient could lose their  job.
I some time sense these feeling at work that the physician is always  correct
and anyone daring to contradict what they say could be in jeopardy of  their
job.  With what you just wrote this seems to give credit to this  fear.  :-((
How can any of us practice if this is what we must fear?
