To find the number of patients satisfied with neither, we can use the formula:
Neither = Total - (A + B - Both)
where A is the number satisfied with nursing care, B is the number satisfied with medical treatment, and Both is the number satisfied with both. 
Plugging in the numbers, we get:
Neither = 50 - (24 + 17 - 5) = 14 
Therefore, 14 patients were satisfied with neither.

To find the number of patients satisfied with only medical treatment, we can subtract the number satisfied with both (5) from the number satisfied with medical treatment (17). 
Therefore, the number satisfied with only medical treatment is 17 - 5 = 12.
