medical issues
She presents some medication that may be helpful to patients, but Dr. XXX isn’t quite ready to make a purchase. Next, she says “I hear your office manager is quitting. I know a medical staff headhunter who can send you a qualified office manager.” This gets Dr. XXX´s attention. He spends some time telling Mary Margaret the kind of staffer he’s looking for, and she promises to follow up on this by the end of the day. Then she tells Dr. XXX to HANG IN THERE, and says, “Please let me know how else I can help you.”
Seria "ela diz para o Dr. XXX ter paciência"?
Seria "ela diz para o Dr. XXX ter paciência"?

Ou o que voce sugeriu mesmo. Acho que nesse tipo de situacao o que seria dito no Brasil eh isso mesmo:
Tenha um pouco/pouquinho de paciência.
