Talk:outpatient

outpatient
Rfd-sense:
 * Adjective
 * 1. Of or pertaining to outpatients

Just an attributive use of the noun? --Dan Polansky 17:16, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Fix and keep. I imagine that for most speakers, "outpatient procedure" (for example) is an attributive use of the noun, but gets three relevant hits — not overwhelming, but IMHO enough to meet CFI as an adjective. (And  even pulls up graded uses, but I'm not sure if any are durably archived.) But, our definition could use work. —Ruakh TALK 17:41, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Per Ruakh's cites, keep (or, pointlessly, bring to RFV) and fix to something like " Not requiring a night's stay.". &#x200b;—  msh210  ℠  18:34, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep widespread use. Cited in non-attributive use IMO. DCDuring TALK 19:40, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ Thanks; this should have been a rfv, in retrospect. --Dan Polansky 10:09, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
