Mrs. P. is used as an example of a patient who is trapped in the middle of a personnel change and with no idea who her doctor was. When the team tries to help her out with her problem, it causes a political upheaval in the hospital, with the doctor accusing Kubler-Ross's researchers of taking his patients. Dealing with all kinds of hospital issues, this chapter highlights several patients who are caught in the web of the doctors' strange beliefs about honesty, the hospital's policies and the group's shakeup of the entire system with their honest approach and penchant for helping patients speak openly about their illnesses.
