Wallace Whitfiled is a 45-year-old male who has had a bulge in his abdomen for six months. He has an appointment with Dr. Smith today, but this is his 3rd time being seen by Dr. Smith and Wallace does not feel that his complaint has been fully investigated. Dr. Smith always rushes through his visit with Wallace, as Dr. Smith is seeing five to six patients an hour. Wallace is upset because he feels Dr. Smith is making more money by providing less care.
