Most patients cannot be treated the same at home as in the
hospital.  Teach they to be responsible for their own well being.
Teach them to teach other doctors, nurses, and health people
about their needs.  Teach them and other health care people that
the patient sometimes understands his body better than the
professional.  Encourage them to become productive and further
their education.

        We could be of more help if we knew what life is like on
the outside in Hong Kong now.
