To establish the Duty owed to Mrs Hanssen and Plaintiff Darcy Hanssen, this principle must be applied by satisfying two elements that constitute its prevalence; was there sufficient proximity of relationship?

I would have set up a complaint/compliment box at the front of the office for patients to anonymously leave complaints as well as compliments to help improve the practice. As for staff members that have a patient who has a complaint they should handle the complaint with concern and empathy and if it is an emergency issue that it be dealt with immediately, as well as letting the patient know that you will forward the complaint to the physician who will deal with the complaint at a higher level of
