No, the patient cannot order to any doctor, what to write.  The doctors have to follow their protocol.

As per the provision of Clause 7.7 of the IMC, Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics Regulations, 2002, the name of the doctor will be deleted from the register of Medical Council, if he is found to have signed or given under his name any certificate, report, etc. which is untrue or misleading.
