hi
Doctor is in rounds. rounds means what?
  

Top answer

Since doctors no longer make house calls, it refers to a period, usually in the morning, when doctors visit their patients in hospital. They "make the rounds" of all their patients. They might then see ambulatory patients in their offices during the afternoon.
