ABSTRACT
This chapter considers all the patient's symptoms and all the information available to doctors and assesses the symptoms, signs and information given using this to choose the appropriate remedies for the problem, and offers extra information where available and appropriate. Anger may not seem to be the most appropriate emotion, and patient might not think that this is the time or place for its expression, but anger is a real feeling. The patient is under stress, and it may only be possible to resolve their anger at a later time. There are many reasons why patients and relatives become angry. Anger may be directed towards God because of a situation over which they have no control, or may be directed at different people – the team, the patient, the family or even themselves. Anger may be directed towards the patient for being ill and leaving the relatives behind.
