Sick Person
Patient
noun
A person who is sick is a sick person. They are also a patient, at least we can hope they are, for their sake.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. Since 人 has two on'yomi readings, here's a mnemonic to help you remember which one to use:
Every sick person enjoys playing on their Nintendo (にん). You have the nastiest flu, but you've still got your Nintendo, so everything is fine.
病人や、ケガ人はいますか？

I want the patients to feel better soon, but still I don't want them to come near me.
