I was returning from church this evening in the company of my pastor. We parked in front of a popular clinic owned by a pharmaceutical company at Rumuomasi.

He asked how the clinic make their money. When I asked his reason for the question, he said they don't admit. Patients over night. I quickly explain to him.

Perhaps there are some here who might not know the difference. Please permit me to share

Clinic

A clinic is a place where outpatients are provided medical treatment, checkup or advice for their health. Clinic was derived from the Greek word ‘Klinein’, meaning to ‘slope, lean or recline’. An outpatient means they go to a clinic for diagnosis, treatment, or therapy and then leave without staying all night.

It is a health care center where you receive routine preventative care when you are healthy or visit your Doctor/Primary Care Provider when you are sick. A clinic is smaller than a hospital where patients are less sick and do not stay overnight.

Some reasons to go to a clinic or Doctor’s office to see your Primary Care Provider/Doctor are:

*.Routine medical appointments
*.Appointments when you feel sick
*.Immunizations

Hospital

It is a health care organization, which provides patients with treatment by expert staff and equipment. Hospital was derived from the Latin word ‘hospes’ or ‘hospitalis’, meaning ‘hospitable’. It is largely managed by professional physicians, surgeons and nurses. It is a 24 hour health center where patients get admitted for treatment of various diseases.

Two types of patients can be treated in the hospital: Outpatients and inpatients. Outpatients are the one who leave without staying all night; while inpatients are admitted and stay overnight or for several days, weeks or months.

Your Doctor /Primary Care Provider will refer you to the Specialist or Hospital. If it is an Emergency, go directly to the hospital.
You may need to go to a Hospital for some of the following health issues:

*.Emergencies
*.An appointment with a Specialist
*.Specific medical treatment (Surgery/Operation)

You are very correct. And all of them claim that their drugs cure. None treats. It makes the section boring and unattractive to visitors.
