Do you 'fret' about your patients?

I had a client with a particularly worrying personal legal  problem.  If it all went horribly wrong he would lose his good name, his medical registration and probably a great deal of his friends, security and stability.  One night at home I awoke 'fretting' about his plight - something I have very rarely been prone too.  But, I liked this man, I thought he was good and decent, a good father and a good doctor, I didn't want him to lose.  I had to get up from bed and make a drink to work out the problem in my mind and the best was to approach it.  Once I had done that I slept.  How often do you find that you really took to a patient?, perhaps admired them?  Have you lost sleep because of fretting about them?.  After all, all of us when stripped to the bare bones is a creature (dare I say).
