Outpatient
의미: Patient who visits hospital but doesn't stay overnight.
Outpatients attend hospital appointments but go home the same day. Contrasts with 'inpatient' who stays in a ward. Most NHS appointments are outpatient. 'Outpatient clinic' is where you'd go for follow-ups, consultations, or minor procedures.
