Associate current_user by a controller in rails 4

Question

I'm trying to associate a current_user.id to a @patient.medic_id via a controller.

I try this in my controller:

def create
    #  @patient = Patient.new(patient_params)
    @patient = current_user.patients.build(patient_params[:medic_id => current_user.id])

    respond_to do |format|
      if @patient.save
        format.html { redirect_to @patient, notice: 'Patient was successfully created.' }
        format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @patient }
      else
        format.html { render :new }
        format.json { render json: @patient.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

This will automatically fill medic_id in the view with the current_user.id , but when I submit the form active record doesn't save the others parameters for patient like name , last_name , age , blood_type , etc.

This is my model / medic.rb (devise - user)

class Medic < ActiveRecord::Base
   has_many :patients
end

This is my model / patient.rb

class Patient < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :medic
end

And I need a way to call all registers (patients) from a medic-user , to a show view; what it is the best way to do this?

Thanks for the help.

To solve the problem when you create a patient:

medic_id = {medic_id: current_user.id}
current_user.patients.build(patient_params.merge(medic_id))

Assuming you have @medic in your show action, to get all patients of a medic-user :

@patients = @medic.patients

And in your show view, you can access @patients as an array.
