The issue at hand is how invalid or fraudulent claims affect doctors, and in cases like that, expressing more concern for the patient than the doctor is more likely an expression of the poster's desire for financial gain than any real concern for patients that have been well cared for.

Why is wondering how the patients are doing “emotive nonsense”? It’s a question, and certainly no more emotive than the original post.
