Is this doctor a jerk or what?

I went to have oral surgery under IV sedation today. I was chewing gum unaware that it was not allowed, but I did not eat or drink for 10 hours. The doctor had his nurse tell me that he would not perform the surgery under sedation because of it. Ok, that's fine. I understand that. But then they refused to reschedule because "you wasted the doctor's time." Now is that not effed up?!? They were the only facility near me that would do it with sedation and now I'm screwed. I'm going home for the summer where my insurance is not covered and so now I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm so pissed!! My father was upset as well because he drove 7 hours to be here, wasted $300 for a hotel and lost time at work (he's a lawyer). He's going to complain about him to anyone that'll listen and so am I. Just wanted to get your opinions. I'm not mad about him not doing the surgery, just to be clear. I'm mad about the refusal to reschedule and kicking me out of the office, and now I won't be able to have this surgery for god knows how long.

Anyway, the dentist is a jerk.
Agree.
When I had a GA I was actually laughed at by the nurse who I asked "Can I clean my teeth?" "Can I chew gum?"
If they didn't want you to do these things then in the written instruction notes they give you before hand they should clearly state you shouldn't do these things.
I know you can complain to their professional bodies if they don't warn you of possible side-effects as well as sue them, but I wonder if you can complain about not warning you before hand.

Take a "witness"* with you and hand deliver the letter.
If he refuses to sign for it least you have a witness to say his office received it.
The dentist obviously thinks the letter is a law suit which it isn't yet.
*Preferably a friend with a job that sounds responsible.
There is no law that says he needs to treat you.
- The instructions could have been clear, but I would have considered gum "eating/drinking" and avoided it. but hindsight is 20/20
- I think Wiregirl's post is helpful as she worked in the industry
- I don't think the doctor should have to come out. That's what he has staff for.
- i think refusing to see you without confirming a ride home is common.
- I think time was wasted on both sides
were you able to find another facility?
