More About Patient
Patients have been around for a long time. Long ago, people had no doctors. They had to heal on their own. Now, we have many kinds of doctors.
When we are sick, we go to the doctor. They help us feel good again. This makes our lives better and keeps us safe.
In the future, doctors will help even more. They will find new ways to help us. This will make being a patient easier.
