What does the nurse mean by a man of wax?

"A man of wax " is an expression used to refer to a person who is perceived as lacking in personality or depth of character, often being easily influenced or controlled by others. The term implies a lack of substance, just like a wax figure, which may appear lifelike but lacks the qualities of a real human being. It can be a derogatory way to describe someone who is superficial, lacking in individuality, or conforming to societal expectations. The term is not commonly used in modern contexts and may be seen as outdated.
