What a lousy experience!

I don't know if it's true in this case, but I'll mention that some doctors are over-insultated by their staff and may not know about lousy service their patients receive. You said a nurse said you couldn't get a transfusion. Was the doctor even involved in that decision? Does he know that the lab results were (apparently) wrong and what a scare and huge inconvenience that was for you?

Before giving up on your oncologist you might write, fax, or ask to speak to him by phone to give him a rundown of what happened. Perhaps you'll end up parting ways but on the other hand perhaps he'll be grateful for the feedback and will want to fix the problems you encountered.
