Therapeutic Delay 

When a person in an ER waiting room has to wait long enough to be seen, they get frustrated, and realize just how 'not sick' they are and storm out of there, only to call their doctor to get in to be seen, like they should have done in the first place.

The patient with cold symptoms had to wait 2 hours to be seen in the ER, and left after the therapeutic delay cured them.
