Abstract
A doctor who worked in a strange country for a year, became ill became a patient. He describes how it happened, how he felt, how he was treated and what his reactions were. He then analyses these in the light of his attitude towards his own patients. He concluded that it is exceptionally difficult for a doctor to become a patient.
