invalid's
Belonging to patient
Invalid's is the possessive form of invalid—a person weakened by illness or disability.
It marks ownership or association: the invalid's wheelchair, the invalid's nurse, tending to the invalid's needs.
The word invalid (stress on first syllable) for a sick person sounds old-fashioned and can feel dismissive of the person's agency.
