Case 2: Sanjay

Review Sanjay's case and think about how collaborating with a social worker could be helpful.

Sanjay

You are in your operatory in the midst of an operative appointment when, from your waiting room, you hear a child screaming and a woman's voice saying, "Sanjay, it will by okay, don't be afraid" followed by a strong male voice shouting "Stop being such a sissy!"

You are concerned because 3-year-old Joey in the next operatory is getting his teeth cleaned and there are two other patients in the waiting room.
