<% for @patient in @patients %>
  <%= text_field "patient[]", "name" %>
<% end %>

## doctor_controller.rb
def update
  @doctor = Doctor.find(params[:id])
  @params[:patient].each do |id, details|
    @patient = @doctor.patients.find(id)

Thanks Alex, I fixed the problem.

The problem is that I was using a column name in the patient table 
called doctor and also included doctor_id... any of these will try to 
get a doctor, therefore the Doctor expected :)

Thanks anyway
