My sister, a psychiatric nurse, took great pains to disabuse me of the practice calling them "patients", she insists that they are "clients".
My wife, a professor of nursing at a university here, informs me that hospital nurses use either "clients" or "patients", the former somewhat more frequently, but that physicians never use the former term. An interesting dichotomy.
