We kill the patient :)

I was browsing through a hospital website that was competing with other hospitals for its ability to cure a specific kind of disease. The way they were marketing themselves was to talk about several patients (disclosing their names) and mentioning how other hospitals were unable to cure them.

I found a particular sentence from their website that tickled me and here it is, "We have treated this patient for an year. Usually such patients don't survive but this patient does"

I can understand what they were trying to mean by that but I just hope they could have worded it better. Review of the text might help but then who cares, they got a blog post from me :)
