patients

Patients are individuals who seek medical care or treatment for health-related issues. They can be experiencing a wide range of conditions, from minor ailments to serious illnesses. The role of a patient is to communicate their symptoms and concerns to healthcare providers, who then diagnose and propose treatment options. Patients have rights regarding their care, including the right to make informed decisions about their treatment and to seek second opinions. Being a patient often involves not only receiving medical attention but also participating actively in one’s own health management.
