From your analysis of the case, assess whether the following statements are true or false:

    A physician's bedside manner makes little to no difference in a patient's decision to take legal action for an injury the patient considers to be the result of substandard care.
    Concerns expressed by trained healthcare professionals regarding post-procedure symptoms deserve careful attention by a physician.
    A dismissive attitude toward other staff members by a physician may be considered disruptive behavior that increases the risk of patient injury.
