Answer 1

• The patient responsibility is to provide a complete accurate information about the signs and symptoms, past medical or surgical history ,any allergies related to medicine,food and environment .Cannot ask for any particular medication especially opioid analgesics ,sedation or other drugs which has a direct effect on the central nervous system.He has breached his responsibility by violence (trying to inject pain medication himself)
• Gregory can sue the healthcare professionals for medical negligence that the Dr.has not performed a complete analysis of the pain (Dr.Able decided he is guising to take pain medication,Dr.Braxton for giving a treatment for muscle pull or Sprain just returning to the hospital in less than two hours and sending him home)the hospital for not  following a protocol to treat a patient who visits frequently complaining of some symptoms. Dr Cameron though diagnosed and treated him with a surgery and relieving his pain has removed extra muscle tissue which are healthy tissue .It is an act of medical malpractice making the patient loss his physique or lead to mental depressions due to the happening.
