1) a somatizing patient
2) an emphysematous patient who continues to smoke
3) a patient with senile dementia

A somatizing patient has no physical condition, it's an emotional disturbance. A doctor who sees his role as to diagnose and treat physical conditions will probably get frustrated and not have the patiency needed to deal with it.
