Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Florida

My Doctor, an endocrinologist left a group and started her own practice. I need a refill of my thyroid medicine but Doc says I need to become a new patient of hers to give me an emergency refill. I have begged and asked but Doc says it's against the law. I don't believe her...Is it against the law for her to write me a refill? I've been a patient of hers for years under the old practice and I even have an appointment at the new practice in the next several days.

Become a patient of her new group. It may be improper for her to write a prescription for you since you are not a patient of the new group she is working for at the currenttime.
