> “It goes back and forth as to what people call them but I think patient is the correct term,” says Eelco Wijdicks, a neurologist from Rochester, Minnesota.

I can't tell if this is an error, as if it should have been "[...] patient is the correct term" or if the neurologist is trying to be funny, or make a point. IMO the writer/editor should've omitted this quote or clarified its context and overall meaning to the article.
