visiting patients
Seeing the sick
Visiting patients refers to the act of going to see people receiving medical care, whether in hospitals, nursing homes, or other healthcare settings.
Family members visit patients to provide emotional support; doctors visit patients during rounds.
The phrase can also describe patients themselves—those who come to a facility for treatment but don't stay overnight: The clinic sees both inpatients and visiting patients.
