I think it depends on whether you were private or public. Public i think they have to treat you, but i'm pretty sure a private doctor doesn't have to take you on if you don't agree with his advice in regards to your situation. Obviously most private doctors wouldn't do this over a small issue, but if he felt it was too risky, he could say no.
I wouldn't want to go to a doctor who i had to threaten or vice versa. But then again, if i felt my doctor was saying it was too risky for the right reasons, i have a good relationship with my obs, so i would believe him also. It's hard to know whether they are just trying to cover themselves, but i have to believe that they are right some of the time, and maybe don't shut yourself off to the idea it might be safer for a c-section. How far along are you?
