The verb "is" is a linking verb.
A linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object of a linking verb restates the subject of the sentence.
Sally = patient
The object of a linking verb is called a subject complement; a noun, pronoun, or adjective that the subject is or becomes.
The subject complement "patient" is a predicate adjective.
A noun or pronoun subject complement is a predicate nominative.
Linking Verb
INTRANSITIVE
No, the verb 'to die' is intransitive because it cannot take a direct object. Typical uses of 'die' are: 'The patient died/is dying/was dying etc.' (all analysed as subject+verb, i.e S-V). 'The patient died last week' (analysed as subject+verb+adverbial, i.e S-V-A). Even in 'he died a terrible death' where 'died', appears to be transitive, it's actually intransitive because the phrase 'a terrible death' is an adverbial telling us the manner of the patient's death. Hope that helps.
Manifest is a TRANSITIVE verb - and not an intransitive verb. You can say - "The patient is manifesting the symptoms of Ebola." You CANNOT say "Ebola manifests in the patient." YUCK! You could say "Ebola manifests itself in the patient", i.e. you can use manifest reflexively - since the reflexive pronoun is really the object of the TRANSITIVE verb manifest. But FAR TOO MANY IDIOTS try to sound intelligent by using manifest intransitively!
There is no subject complement in this sentence. In this sentence "felt" is a transitive action verb with "pulse" being a direct object, receiving the action of the verb.To have a subject complement in the sentence, "felt" would have to function as a linking verb. Example: The patient's pulse felt rapid. (In this case "rapid" is a predicate adjective describing the subject "pulse"; "rapid" is the subject complement.)
The patient had uncontrolled hypertension.
"Thank you for being so patient." That is correct.
INTRANSITIVE
The verb "is" in this sentence is intransitive because it does not have a direct object receiving the action. Instead, it links the subject ("Sally") to the subject complement ("very patient with her pesky little brother").

Typology is a subfield of linguistics that studies and classifies languages according to their structural features.One set of types reflects the basic order of subject, verb, and direct object in sentences:Subject-verb-objectSubject-object-verbVerb-subject-objectVerb-object-subjectObject-subject-verbObject-verb-subjectAnother common classification distinguishes nominative-accusative languages and ergative-absolutive ones. In a language with cases, the classification depends on whether the subject of an intransitive verb has the same case as the agent or the patient of a transitive verb. If a language has no cases, but the word order AVP or PVA, then a classification may reflect whether the subject of an intransitive verb appears on the same side as the agent or the patient of the transitive verb.
The patient was waiting for the doctor to arrive. She was a patient person.
