SOLVED. Case Study – Healthcare A patient waits to meet with a doctor. She’s pacing, fidgeting with her phone, and constantly asking the receptionist where the doctor is. A nurse comes to collect preliminary information regarding her symptoms. When asked to have an X-ray taken, the patient immediately becomes verbally abusive. She refuses the procedure and argues, “You just want to waste my time with unnecessary tests!” She belittles the nurse by calling her “stupid” and saying, “None of you know what you’re doing.”
