In the first place, the patient knows everything which is going on around him.

Surely my patients knew what a nice guy I was.

This might have been less surprising if the patients had known they were getting special attention.

And the other patients didn't know whether to speak to me or not.

It was too difficult when the patient knew he had once been someone else.

The patients in all the studies know they stand a chance of not being treated.

The patients did not know which group they were assigned to.

Of course patients should know who is caring for them.

People are free to choose their own future, so the patient knows what is best.

I suppose our patients knew this was the best they could get.
