It was never about the money. It was about taking care of the patients.

Pauline Garcia

I can say from the time I was here I took care of my patients and I did my job. There are people in here who care.

Tracy Butler

On the average, there's only about 70 people in [Bethany] every day. Similarly, we are seeing on average about two patients per hour in the emergency room.

Tony Mitchell

ECT works in many patients in which anti-depressants don't work, ... ECT works faster than anti-depressants, and after 40 years we still don't know exactly how it works.

Charles Nemeroff

It will just be a fun day and celebration from the growth that we've experienced here at the donor center. We can't thank a donor enough, actually, because they're giving something really almost more precious than money, they're giving a part of themselves and without them, what would we do? The patients wouldn't have the blood they need.

Linda Wilson

This is about patients taking care of patients.

Lisa Molyneux

Information to patients so they can go in and have a more informed conversation with their physician about new cures and new treatments.

Alan Holmer

This takes away a patient's safeguard.

Kelda Helen Roys

We knew there were certain kidney cancer patients who responded to this drug, but we didn't know the mechanism behind the response. We had to determine the mechanism of response so we could identify the responders.

George Thomas

We believe that some [PAH] patients are already using the active ingredient for pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Robert Hazlett

Every week, more than a thousand patients are killed in American hospitals as a result of negligence.

Sidney Wolfe

We expect our doctors to work very hard taking care of patients, but they don't have to spend all their time and energy battling insurance companies.

Bob Schultz

We found no consensus among physicians about what is customary or appropriate. Despite efforts to standardize many aspects of the doctor-patient relationship, patients are likely to encounter very different approaches.

Dr. Farr Curlin

The overall findings were negative, but a benefit was seen in patients with established cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Deepak Bhatt

All of our patients have been really, really ill, and they are just really brave people, and I just have to admire them.

Philip Kennedy

Patients have assessment and contact with a medical professional almost immediately when they walk in.

Katrina Otto

(Dr. Sorenson) will be able to treat patients of chronic pain or back problems.

Linnea Hennessy

Twenty-five percent of all the center's patients come from Summit County. And you can't do that drive alone.

Cheryl Jensen

What we need is a system that's fair to everyone, a system that keeps the physicians in practice and allows patients to have access to physicians in their hour of need.

Donald Palmisano

The court decision is another important victory for medical innovators who invest in high-risk research to develop life saving medicines, as well as for the patients who benefit from those medicines.

Jeffrey Kindler

I have patients who graze throughout the day. They drink caloric beverages. They have three snacks a day. Salad dressings add up. It all adds up.

Jenny Gardner

All of these top hospitals share eight common characteristics that drive their ability to deliver fast, effective treatment to patients with ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study has direct and important information for hospitals around the country.

Harlan M. Krumholz

A lot of patients are being treated inappropriately with the wrong therapies because they're either under-diagnosed or over-diagnosed.

Dr. Gary Onik

There are unquestionably some patients getting too many embryos.

David Adamson

We have a lot of high risk undelivered patients who come here, too, and they get bored so we try to keep them occupied.

Voncea Brusha

A lot of patients ended up going somewhere else that was less convenient.

Dr. Rakesh Garg

We never quit seeing patients. Everyone did a great job. Creativity happened.

Bill Oliver

Doctors pour drugs of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, into patients of whom they know nothing.

Abby Siegel

On Wednesday, we had four to five patients come to the emergency room with problems due to their running generators in closed areas.

Donnie Smith

This is a great victory for patients and nurses. We have been fighting long and hard to protect the interests of our patients, and we've finally done that.

Melissa Clark

Many of these patients have been repeatedly told there is no hope of ever receiving a kidney transplant.

Robert Montgomery

She is alone and we have no family there, ... She has been asking me to move to Los Angeles. I have spent months considering this. I love my patients but my daughter must come first.

Chevy Chase

If you fail to initiate the appropriate steps within the first hour or two, patients very rapidly become comatose and the mortality increases significantly.

David Francis

Most of the patients are poor, and on Medicare, and doctors don't make as much money treating those kinds of patients.

Dorothy Moore

Patients refuse to be transferred to hospital all the time - even if they are badly injured. And there is nothing we can do about that. They also have the right to refuse any medical attention.

Oupa Matjie

It's interesting when you know people on a number of levels. I knew Josie and George as patients of mine and I knew their kids when they were growing up. They were an all-American family of wonderful people.

Mike Fischer

The hospital is part of the community and maintains the sense of community. The doctors and staff members who treat patients are their friends and neighbors.

Judy Martin

A food diary is an easy way for patients to keep track of food reactions so the exact history can be accurately conveyed to the physician.

David Fleischer

In addition to exploring ways to increase p11 in depressed patients, it may also be possible to develop peptide-based compounds that can mimic the action of p11 to achieve a new class of anti-depressant compounds.

Per Svenningsson

We weren't exactly fluent, but it did help in communicating with the patients. Thank goodness we had translators, though.

Kay Scruggs

It was clear to us that it was difficult to treat patients when they didn't have a home to go back to or a bed to sleep in.

Karen Graff

The test results on the last two patients were also negative and they have been discharged. There's no new admission.

Ramlee Rahmat

There is no attempt by Walter Reed to hide the number of patients we receive.

Ann Johnson

The main reason behind the lowered figures is that the number of AIDS/HIV patients infected through blood selling and homosexual activity was over-estimated in 2003.

Wang Longde

The time and distance from the scientist's lab bench to the patient's bedside must be shortened.

Larry Lucchino

Although we're a sister facility to the Coliseum, we still actually compete with them for patients.

Mark Nichols

We love our patients and our patients love us. You don't sue someone you love.

Patch Adams

No other policy sells patients health care coverage that promises so much yet delivers so little.

Carmen Balber

They don't get the notion that during a disaster one of the fundamental needs is taking care of the large number of patients.

Jerome Hauer

In city after city, when we were talking to hospitals, we kept hearing that there were more uninsured patients seeking treatment.

Paul Ginsburg

The unique thing about rehab is that we measure everything about patient function. We are literally compared with units all over the country. When you look at patients with a similar diagnosis, same age and similar ailments, our outcomes are very high.

Lisa Shirk

A lot of our patients are on the edge of life and death. We don't have the time to go through protocols.

Col. Elisha Powell

It's a leap of faith. It's a last-ditch measure when we feel we're at the end of the game. It has been very effective for some patients.

Dr. Julian Bailes

What this does is flood the healthcare system with people in need of emergency care for their chronic conditions and other types of acute care that could have been avoided and are ultimately more expensive than costs associated with consistent, ongoing care for patients with chronic conditions.

Myrl Weinberg

I recommend it to my patients as an exercise.

James Rodriguez

Hopefully, one day we can turn it into a tool that dentists use in their offices and maybe even patients use at home. For people who have a fear of going to the dentist, this is a way to have one less thing to worry about.

Michael Glogauer

As potential patients, we would want these companies to make incremental improvements. Without it, we would end up only with first-in-class products that are not as good as they could be.

David Moskowitz

From the first time she entered his life, she stressed him out. He was having chest pains, lying down in between patients.

Laura Melisi

Our patients inspire us every day. They're just incredible.

Dr. Robert Birdwell

This means an increasing intensity of [medical] services are being provided to trauma patients.

Joel Cohen

HMOs cover more in terms of benefits, their premiums are lower and they require less in the way of out-of-pocket costs for patients.

Susan Pisano

This change may be difficult for some, but SMH offers cessation aids to employees and patients to help with this transition.

Jim Richardson

Knowing that this disease is 90-per-cent preventable if caught early and having done nothing about it, Saskatchewan owes an extra duty of care to ensure their patients receive the standard of care without having to pay for it.

Barry Stein

Our patients have been wonderful. It's not a whole bunch of money, but they're still donating.

Michelle Bell

Depression should not be taken lightly. For kids? sakes particularly, we should be very aggressive in treating patients, particularly mothers. The more improved care we can provide to depressed mothers, the more benefit to their children.

Dr. Madhukar Trivedi

Obviously, that a patient was raped by a nursing assistant is awful and everything we are trying to protect patients from.

Laurie Jinkins

Our medical teams regularly visit these areas to treat patients.

Vijay Batra

It's the patient's expression of their values.

Barry Tepperman

There is an entire population of patients who have to pay a portion of their bills, and they were not treated fairly — and not told they would get excessive charges they don't get elsewhere.

John Phillips

We had 500 critical-care patients. We had only three deaths.

Brian Murphy

Most patients gained an attitude change and were able to increase their physical activity. For someone in a wheelchair with Parkinson's, adding to their activity level is a major accomplishment.

Shirley Pogue

All the seven suspected patients are negative ... all of them are better.

Ly Sovann

But they're hanging in there because they know with those bad hips and arms, they will need a patients' bill of rights to be better.

David Bonior

This is level 2 evidence, an observational study, ... A randomized trial is needed for definitive evidence. The data from this study would justify carrying out a randomized trial in patients getting bypass study.

Scott Wright

With the combined benefits of radiation, chemotherapy and liver transplantation, our patients with bile duct cancer now have a much better chance to live longer and enjoy a good quality of life.

Charles Rosen

The capacity of the rest of the health care system to absorb the huge volume of patients Charity treated is just not there.

Diane Rowland

Patients coming out panic stricken are spreading the contamination. They're gonna run. They're scared and hurt and want to get away.

Joan Heller

Research shows learning about Alzheimer's disease is one of the best ways to help patients and their families.

Bill Thies

One-third of the hospital is so old, we couldn't put patients in it.

Bob Kroupa

The staff sits in and hears things from the patients' perspective.

Rhonda Bright

I think it's scary, ... Doctors and patients have come to believe that prescription drugs are more effective and safer than they probably are.

Marcia Angell

We're always looking for more patients to enhance our teaching component. It would enhance us, plus you have some capacity at MCH in inpatient care. It's a win for both of our organizations and the community as well as the veterans.

Bill Finical

Our goal is that we will be able to have public disclosure of all the data and ultimately, we hope to be able to bring it back to patients in need.

Amy Brockelman

By keeping my hand in that, it's the way I keep learning. The main way you learn in medicine is by practicing and working with patients.

Andrew Weil

We are short of nurses and nursing aides at the (Medical Surgical Department), ... It has three nursing aides, but each of them has to take care of nine patients.

Maria Perez

This is all so new, I think what we'll see over time is (that) our challenge is to increase the dollars and to increase the level at which we identify patients so we can access these funds. We really feel like, as we get better at it, we can drive up the total dollars we submit.

Jim Perry

Who's in the best position to make decisions for these patients? To erect more administrative hurdles really doesn't make sense.

Chuck Bell

We have 40,000 visits to this emergency room yearly. We have 186 patients in the hospital today, 25 critically ill. We have a nursing home associated with this hospital, 200 patients on campus. We provide 1,000 hot meals a day to the elderly in this community.

George Gilbert

Heart bypass patients with hospital-acquired infections were more likely to die, be readmitted and have longer lengths of stay than those patients without infections.

Marc P. Volavka

We now know that we could and should have done a better job in putting together our application package, ... We let patients down, and for that, I am truly sorry.

Sam Waksal

We didn't want to sit on it any longer, based upon the respect we have for the patients and the risk it could potentially create.

David Fox

It is rewarding when you can see the improved quality of life in these patients.

Anthony Atala

I think a lot (of the increase) has come about because physicians don't want to be awakened in the middle of the night, so they schedule patients when it is convenient.

Charles Lockwood

Very few doctors are willing to care for CFS patients because it is such a downer.

Hugh Calkins

We did over 200 adjustments, ... My patients really responded.

Billy Carter

There's a lot of trepidation out there. A lot of the patients are concerned and wondering how long the clubs are going to last down there.

Dale Gieringer

We plan to send 25 patients a week by the end of this year.

Chris Hall

We want to use science to guide our therapy for these patients.

Wendy Moore

Maybe it could extend to stroke or other pathological patients who have an increased incidence of falls and an inability to control locomotion.

Max Kurz

The strength of the evidence is so overwhelming at this point that it would be almost impossible to withhold this drug from the appropriate group of patients.

Gabriel Hortobagyi

I think this is a real wake-up call for both patients and the medical community.

Arthur Epstein

Our patients are things rather than people.

Doug Hackradt

We would be a lesser place without the H-1Bs, and the benefits to our patients would be lesser in their absence.

Bruce Larson

Anecdotally, of course, people have been using it for centuries. We've known in our clinic that patients are using street-based cannabis.

Candy Mccabe

We try to make sure our front line people who work with our patients are familiar with the guidelines and who will qualify. It's kind of like going to college and applying for financial aid. It's there if you qualify.

Mike Sindelar

We have long assumed that if we educate patients and make them an active partner in the treatment of their disease, we should be able to dramatically improve their ability to take care of their disease.

Carlos Sanchez

We now have a total of six patients being treated for suspected bird flu infections.

Ilham Patu

We've been working extremely hard to enhance the level of care provided to inmate patients in Delaware.

Ken Fields

Most patients don't have computer access and they're completely overwhelmed. We have their list of drugs, and while my boss tells me I don't have to do it, I'm the one who had to deal with them Jan. 2.

Kristin Campbell

I was sick at the thought we were doing harm to patients.

Edward Scolnick

There must be a high effort on the patient's part. They must really want to communicate again and be understood. It's not easy and there's a lot of repetition.

Ed Hardy

We have geared up to address some of those patients. We'll either help internally through our own program or help them find somewhere else.

Eddie Greene

They actually were harmed. This was a trial to determine the boundaries of benefit, and it did. You don't use this drug for patients without coronary artery disease.

Eric Topol

We'd like to push forward in this area. It hasn't been seen yet how this information can be used to help patients, but more work in this area may lead to that.

Emily Bell

Merck is pleased that it has the opportunity to develop what appears to be a very promising treatment for NSCLC, which is one of the most prevalent and deadly of all cancers. We believe this new agreement is not only beneficial for both companies but also for patients.

Elmar Schnee

When our crews arrived, they found patients with symptoms that were consistent with carbon monoxide poisoning.

Elise Armacost

We have decided to make sure that we are the safety net for our patients and our community.

Ellen Simon

About 15% to 20% of patients have emotional or psychological needs that have not been adequately dealt with. We have been so focused on disease treatment that those important elements have traditionally been given lower priority.

Ellen R. Gritz

It's an integral part of health care to have fun. It's important for the staff and the patients.

Ellen Locke

Patients love it, families, my staff, of course. It's a nice morale-booster. It's kind of lifted spirits throughout the year.

Ellen Locke

Most of the nurses at my hospital did not turn their patients every two hours, mostly because it is so hard to get staff members to help. Also, many are very well aware of the dangers of back injury.

Elizabeth White

We think this is extraordinarily promising. We think that there are a number of patients who would benefit from tissue-engineered vessels.

Elizabeth Nabel

Randi would walk into the cancer center and smile at the other patients. She would always have a hug or smile or nice thing to say to the people who were there.

Elaine Gampel
