hospitalise
Send for treatment
To hospitalise is to admit someone to a hospital for treatment: She was hospitalised after the accident.
This is the British spelling; Americans write hospitalize.
The word usually implies serious enough illness or injury to require inpatient care, not just an emergency room visit.
