41 year old male arrives at the ER, stating that he has abdominal pain; He has been having pain for weeks; He is a known alcoholic to the ER. he demands that you treat me, and if you don't... he goes home and something happens to him, he will "sue" you. Physical exam is done, and is unremarkable; but the patient continues to complain of abdominal pain, and gives you other symptoms. What type of behavior is this person showing?
