'''Nice patients''' are patients who are pleasant.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2017/10/endangered-species/ Breaking: Nice Patients Added to Endangered Species List (Gomerblog)]</ref>
'''Are They Real?'''
----
Yes! You might not have seen on in your career, but they do exist. Unfortunately, they are rare than ever. According to a last count by the National Patient Service (NPS), there are currently only 2,152 patients left, the lowest documented number ever documented by the NPS. Thankfully, the federal government recognized this dire situation earlier this year and placed '''nice patients''' on the endangered species list.
'''Tell Me More About These Nice Folks'''
----
These patients are completely nice, friendly, often reasonable, not demanding, not drug-seeking, and patient. They say incredibly outdated phrases like "Hello," "Good morning," and "Thank you!"
They seem to be understanding folk. Sometimes they only ask for [[Tylenol (Acetaminophen)|Tylenol]] to help manage their pain.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2015/10/tylenol-for-pain/ Rare Patient Asks Only for Tylenol for Pain, Receives Standing Ovation (Gomerblog)]</ref> They are the elite but scarce patients of modern medicine.
'''Will Nice Patients Ever Be a Thriving Population Again?'''
----
We don't know and only time will tell. We're hopeful that placement on the endangered species list will engender efforts to not only stabilize the population but help with growth. It is unclear if we have reached the point of breeding nice patients in order to ensure future generations of nice patients, but we will see.
