title: A patient perspective on the curriculum and training the future health professional.
abstract: Patients' expectations are explored through a personal reflection. The continuing mismatch between expectation and what is found in practice is highlighted. The author challenges the medical curriculum to put patient contact at its heart and to inspire future doctors to serve patients better in every way.
