So it's been a slow process and it's taken some patience. That's why patients are called patients I think - patience is required.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's important right now to continue to have your patients contact their senators and their congresspeople to say we have a problem. We want you to help solve it, we want you to be involved.
One of the shortcomings of our medical system is that doctors have very little time with their patients.
If a person is treated like a patient, they are apt to act like one.
If, over time, patients don't go to some services, then progressively they become less viable, so you do arrive at a point where the conclusion is: 'These are the right services for the future, and this is capacity we don't need.'
If doctors just spent more time with their patients so they felt more reassured, that might help.
I can imagine few things more trying to the patience than the long wasted days of waiting.
I think people are by-and-large happy with the providers that they have got now. They treasure that doctor-patient relationship.
Patience is the best medicine.
When I try to be patient on my own, my patience is forced and short-lived. It is obvious to everyone that I am desperately trying to be patient.
People are not patient anymore.
