Method:
Description about the repercussions of managing a challenging patient, its ramifications on the renal staff, and our strategies for restoring a positive atmosphere within the service.

Results:
Despite the numerous hurdles encountered, we successfully administered dialysis treatment to a verbally aggressive and physically intimidating patient for a span of seven months
