I fully agree with that.

you are the one that will eventually have to deal with it, and they will happily go home at the end of the day, leaving all the diseases in the hospital.

when we were in med. school, there was this saying -"the patient is the one with the disease", which basically meant don't get too much emotionally involved, it is not you that have to suffer.

I now understand the other and more true meaning of this sentence- "the patient is the one with the disease"-the one that lives with it every day, and not only briefly encounters it in his office or reads about it in his book, the one that has to suffer the results of medical errors, the one that will gain from proper treatment, and therefore the one that knows best.
