Phrase patient
Text The word "patient," in this podcast, means to be able to wait for something without getting angry or frustrated and without seeming to be in a hurry: "Please be patient and wait for me. I'll come to meet you as soon as I can." Or, "You need to be patient to catch a fish because sometimes it takes a long time." The opposite of "patient" is "impatient": "Don't be so impatient! I'm sure that she'll call you soon." A "patient" is also a person who is receiving medical treatment: "How many patients stay at this hospital on a normal day?" Finally, a "patient" may be someone who visits a particular doctor: "Most of Dr. Bronson's patients are women in their 50s." Or, "I'm a patient of Dr. Bronson's and I'd like to make an appointment to see her."
