A hospital today is an institution for professional health care provided by physicians, nurses and other professionals.

Terminology

---

During the Middle Ages the hospital could serve other functions, such as almshouse for the poor, or hostel for pilgrims. The name comes from Latin hospes (host), which is also the root for the English words hotel, hostel, and hospitality. The modern word hotel derives from the French word hostel, which featured a silent s, which was eventually removed from the word; French for hospital is hôpital.

@ATLPrincess Going to the hospital? We just don't like to that's all. We feel we're invincible and hospitals are a sign of weakness
