I'd do the same thing--just leave. Heck, do it while the doctor is there. It might be safest to do it while someone is there. Take your stuff, get a cab, stay at a hotel until your flight.

Anyway you could call the police and ask for an escort? You could prearrange it, let them know you are trying to leave an abusive relationship and you want to ensure your safety to the airport. They will also help you gather your belongings if you fear him harassing you during the process. A's may seem larger than life when they know they can intimidate you but most of them are still scared of the police long after they sober up....

The behaviors you spoke of your partner doing are considered illegal in most places and anyone who knows much of domestic violence/abuse knows that the most dangerous time for the woman is when she is attempting to leave.

Im not sure what provoked telling him you were leaving but maybe you should leave a day early. Call your sister or someone and ask if they will cover hotel expenses for the night before your flight. If you suspect he will cause a scene to try to prevent you from leaving there is probably a reason for that ie: past behaviors, threats...

Good luck
