Le mot «patient» s'applique de nos jours à toute personne justiciable de services médicaux ou paramédicaux ou qui y a recours, qu'elle soit malade ou non. Il n'est plus strictement réservé comme autrefois aux opérés (ou futurs opérés) ou aux malades qui souffrent. Peuvent donc être appelés «patients» non seulement les malades [...], mais aussi les individus qui se soumettent simplement à un bilan de santé, à des analyses systématiques ou à des contrôles périodiques [...] 3, record 1, French, - patient
