"How do you tell the psychiatrists from the patients in the hospital?

And I can imagine Farmer saying he doesn't care if no one else is willing to follow their example.

Researches tested a new form of medical marijuana that treats pain but doesn't get the user high prompting patients who need medical marijuana to declare 'Thank you?'

Civil and political rights are critical but not often the real problem for the destitute sick. My patients in Haiti can now vote but they can't get medical care or clean water.

Part of my training was learning how to refer patients to cardiologists for heart problems gastroenterologists for stomach issues and rheumatologists for joint pain.
