Can you post a minimal working example?

However I'm not sure that's the problem, that's why I asked for a minimal working example.
The indentation that is removed with
\noindent
is the paragraph indentation, which can permanently be turned off with by adding this to your preamble:
Code: Select all

In this case, I see that the Doctor line is not indented, but both the Patient and the Nurse lines are indented.
Outside of the quotation, I want every paragraph to have an indent. But inside the quotation, however, I do not want any indents. Is that possible without inserting a \noindent in front of every paragraph in the quotation?

The MWE tip wan't meant as a strict rule, don't worry, just as a helpful advice. Most of the time, a MWE is a guarantee for getting a quick, working and verified solution. We like to test and to fix code, which is possible with complete (compilable, but reduced) code.
