When illness appears, it can become everything; the particular identity of the person in the hospital or ICU bed can easily be lost in the prolonged (im)patient wait for a diagnosis, or the next procedure, or the possibility of healing or a cure, as the title "Being (the) Patient" shows.

The use of bayesian models to provide more precise estimates of MMRs for small racial and ethnic subgroups is a strength, but not a panacea for the problem of small numbers.
