My hubby empathizes too much with his patients. Most of his patients are over 70. He's working in an extended-care facility, which bridges the gap between full ICU or other intensive nursing and home care. These are folks who aren't sick enough for that, but aren't well enough to go home, mostly. Fortunately, most of them go home feeling a lot better than when they arrived.
The ones who manage, even late in life, to solve diabetes-related problems, suddenly find that they have much freer, happier lives. He comes home feeling much better when his patients are doing well.
He walks five miles a night, which means I sometimes have trouble getting him to go for a walk for fun with me, though. :(
