Greetings all,<br/><br/>(1) Are these words ( inpatient/outpatient as nouns and adjectives ) common enough in modern spoken English?<br/><br/>(2) What's the difference between "hospital" and "inpatient clinic"?<br/><br/>(3) When you ( native speakers) say just "clinic", do you normally mean "inpatient clinic" ( not outpatients)?<br/><br/>(4) Can I use "inpatients" ( "outpatients" ) for "inpatient clinic" ( "outpatient clinic")?<br/><br/>(5) Are there other terms similat or close enough to "outpatient clinic"?<br/><br/>Thanks<br/><br/>muscovite
