Best Answer

If the doctor believes treatment by a specialist or hospitalization is necessary, yes, he is responsible for making those recommendations to the patient. The patient is ultimately the one who will either accept or reject those recommendations, and could seek a second opinion from another doctor if he or she chooses. If the patient accepts the advice of the first doctor, the doctor will make the referrals.
