But during our second consultation, a massive conflict arose. He brought someone with him, and within three seconds, a silent war was declared. The tension in the room was palpable, and I was certain I had just lost the biggest case of my life.The Surprising ReversalConventional wisdom says that when a patient senses arrogance and hostility in your office, they walk out and never return. I never expected to see this man again. Yet, two weeks later, he walked back through my doors. Not only did he accept the massive treatment plan, but he also wrote a check for the full amount on the spot.
