The correct answer is False. Termination of the medical care relationship by a physician does not always require the patient's consent. A physician can unilaterally decide to terminate the relationship for valid reasons, such as non-compliance, non-payment, or inappropriate behavior by the patient, among others. However, the physician must give the patient adequate notice and resources to find alternative care to avoid allegations of abandonment. It is the provision of notice and resources, not patient consent, which is legally imperative in these instances.
