and also messages not related to any particular patient

IMO this remains confusing and this is most apparent when first logging in at 
which time *no* patient is selected. This will result in displayed messages 
even when no patient name or photo  Clicking "Active patient's" will show that 
"Mr Kirk is off..." but this message was not actually linked to Kirk, nor is 
the administrative memo "Beware of Dr Jekyll".

Therefore I would suggest that

        "All" shows all (nonpatient plus all patients')
        "Active patient's" shows *only* the active patient's (not the 
nonpatient messages)

also I would change the label because the messages do not belong to the 
patient, they only relate to the patient. Sorry. So it should be

        Show messages: () All  () Active-patient related

(placement of the hyphen intentional) where "Active-patient related" shows 
*only* the active patient's (not the nonpatient messages)
