Leaving a patient up in the air like this is called "Patient Abandonment" and is illegal. Your doctor MUST make arrangements for your girlfriend. Call the doctor's office and find out who is taking over her patients. Also find out which doctors are in her call group. One of these other doctors should be able to get your girlfriend's records from the original doctor and get her the necessary treatment in the least amount of time. Good luck!

Ask the doctor she was scheduled with for a referral. She can then forward all records and info and get things set up easier than starting from scratch with someone else. Good Luck.

The Dr. should have recommended another Dr. Can you get in touch with the Dr. and ask if they have any recomendations? Call your local hospitals, they should be able to help.

Do a google search for Ob-gyns in your area and start contacting them asap to see if you can get her in somewhere else in the same time period. If not, she will have to reschedule.
