sickbay

Vessel's medical quarters

A sickbay is a room or area designated for treating sick or injured people, especially aboard a ship or in a school.

The term carries a nautical flavor and appears frequently in military and science fiction contexts: Report to sickbay for your physical.

In schools, the sickbay is where students go when feeling unwell.
