There is this patient‚ we will call him Mr. Hicks. He has been admitted to the hospital more than 100 days in a six month period. The staff all hate seeing his name on their list of clients to treat for the day. You see he is thought of as a lifer‚ someone who spends their life in one hospital to the next. His main health problem is that he needs dialysis‚ but refuses to take responsibility for himself. I feel the hospital‚ society‚ and he has let himself down. Mostly we as members of the healthcare
