While I may have missed type PATIENT for PATENTS and extend for extent I don't
think a liberal arts major could do it, you see,this was directly taken for a
legal text and it was written by a laywer so it is not really English anyway.

Thanks again, and I know you are not a liberal arts major.

 PATIENTS turn their heads and cough.

 "bounds the extend of this confidentiality agreement"?

 Did you mean "extent"?  It still barely makes sense.

 Find a liberal arts major (who's now waiting tables) and have him/her
 translate it into English. >>
