I prefer to be a patient. I am paying (or someone is paying on behalf of me) for a medical person to provide me a service for improving or maintaining my health. I am a patient regardless of whether that person is helping me with bipolar or joint pain.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
