Definition of patiens
Definition: Patiens (pay-shee-enz) is a Latin word that refers to a person who suffers or permits something to happen. It is the passive party in a transaction.
Example 1: A patient who is undergoing surgery is a patiens because they are allowing the surgeon to perform the procedure on them.
Example 2: A person who is being bullied and does not fight back is also a patiens because they are allowing the bully to continue their behavior.
The examples illustrate the definition of patiens because in both cases, the person is not taking an active role in the situation. They are allowing something to happen to them without actively participating or resisting. The term patiens is often used in legal or medical contexts to describe the passive party in a transaction or procedure.
Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.
