as a Nurse I was taught to call the people I help recover from injury patients - then that changed to clients - it's supposed to make people feel more valued and in a partnership - yet the patients/clients still call themselves patients and the dr's still call them patients - its all very confusing - I've only ever heard my T refer to me by my name - whether she calls me patient or client I dont care as long as she can help me get my sanity back!

and Brian, I agree with Sunrise and Echoes keep putting your 2 cents worth in it makes for an interesting forum - everyone is allowed to have their own opinion and that is whats great about coming here P7
