We doctors are a bunch of racial stereotyping, racist, group of individuals who can put politicians to shame.
"This Indian man had been ill for......"
"This Chinese man need an urgent operation........"
"This Malay lady needs dialysis....."
We always mention the patients race when we present the case, or when we make referrals. And we have for always been doing it. We do it very important and specific reasons. Its just that I don't know what they are.
Everybody else is free to do what they want, I am going to try to stop with this silly practice.

i prefer to call them by their names. Everytime the nurse tell me , patient bed XX , i will ask them back , what is the patient's name.. ? More often ,they themselves don't know !
I try to remember them by their names given by their parents ; as i reckon how the patient's themselves like to be identified as.
