Answer 1

hi
When we fall ill, the doctors decide whether we need to be admitted to the hospital. Such patients are called inpatients who are under the surveliiance of the doctors within the hospital premises. If the illness is not severe and if the patient can go back to his place after the treatment each day, he is called an outpatient.
There are many pros and cons of inpatient:
Pros:
1. Structured care
The inpatients are given utmost care by nursing staff and resident doctors. They are under constant supervision and hence are bette treated. Inpatients follow a daily routine of food and bath and hence get adjusted to more effective lifestyle.
2. Free from outside stresses
The inptients do not deal with their other life stresses such as office work, meeting clients ..what not. The freedom from these stress help in quick recovery.

Cons:
1. Expensive
The inpatient care is always expensive which is a major drawback.
2. Transition period after the release.
The patients live in stress free world inside the hospital. But when they are discharged and allowed to go home, they encounter all their life style associated stress. This transition can be problematic and can somtimes resuscite the problmes just treated.
