You know I never understood this type of reaction by some including those in the medical field.

Okay so let's suppose the patient is being melodramatic and acting out a tantrum like attention getting stunt. The fact is too that patient the problem is real and serious!

Who cares if "you" [the observer/Doc] think it is an overreaction?

Did I explain that right by the way?

Anyhow it is like a teenager that is "IN LOVE". You as a parent know they don't know what they are talking about, but at that point in a life it sure feels like LOVE. So a responsible parent will acknowledge that.

Not to compare you or anyone with a kid but you get my illustration I hope.

Hey if you want to try and help the patient with perspective that is a great idea but never, EVER, disregard someone's CRY FOR HELP!
