ruby on rails - Has many through stop printing the entire object after loop -

i practicing has_many through stuck when looping through contents. displays whole object , not item want.

models:

class appointment < activerecord::base   belongs_to :physician   belongs_to :patient end  class physician < activerecord::base     has_many :appointments     has_many :patients, through: :appointments end  class patient < activerecord::base    has_many :appointments    has_many :physicians, through: :appointments end 

controller:

class patientscontroller < applicationcontroller     def index     @patients = patient.all     @appointments = appointment.all     @physicians = physician.all     end      def show     @patients = physician.find(params[:id])     @appointments = appointment.find(params[:id])     @physicians = physician.find(params[:id])        end end 

patients/show.html.erb:

<%= @physicians.patients.each |physician| %> <br><br>     <%= physician.name %> <% end %> 

after entering random data test following result @ http://localhost:3000/patients/1:

jannie runolfsdottir iii   eudora moen [#<patient id: 4, name: "jannie runolfsdottir iii", phone: "356-388-3102 x3079", created_at: "2015-05-14 23:09:36", updated_at: "2015-05-14 23:09:36">, #<patient id: 5, name: "eudora moen", phone: "(372) 713-5045 x3012", created_at: "2015-05-14 23:09:36", updated_at: "2015-05-14 23:09:36">] 

i based code views in has_many :through relationship , http://guides.rubyonrails.org/association_basics.html#the-has-many-through-association

the question is, how stop whole object displaying? want names display. behaving used .inspect method.

change beginning of first line <%= <%.

the = tells print object returned, in case of each whole object.
