Maybe we don't have as many of the 'sick' here so we don't need a single word which has a single meaning for it as a noun? :o)



>>>"A weak or sickly person, especially one morbidly concerned with his or her health." - a notch above hypochondriac.
>>>
>>>"Bolesnik" denotes any person while ill.
>>>
>>>>I'm still thinking. ;-)
>>>
>>>Keep it up. It needs words.
>>
>>Is "sick" the word everyone is struggling to find here?
>
>Not quite suitable, as it's primarily an adjective, and "the sick" actually denotes plural. Another hand-me-down, not the real article.
