sick visits
Doctor sees patient
Sick visits are medical appointments for acute illnesses or symptoms rather than routine checkups or preventive care.
The term appears primarily in pediatric and primary care contexts: The clinic reserves morning slots for sick visits.
A child with an ear infection gets a sick visit; their annual physical is a well visit.
