Some steps are being taken to help patients keep their secrets.

The patients themselves kept the management out, and the rest of it.

On average, our patients lost 24 pounds and kept more than half of that off for at least five years.

These patients, perhaps even more than others, keep the procedure a secret.

But the patient kept focusing on what he should have done.

I see the patients more often to keep them out of the hospital.

"We encourage patients to keep in touch with the outside world and also to take control of their environment."

If the patient does not keep the appointment, the doctor will make another house call.

Meanwhile, patients kept coming, and hospital personnel could barely keep up.

He was right, of course, not that it mattered much because the patients just kept on coming.
