Ever been to a hospital or a clinic? Well, definitely you have as so has every single person who currently walks the planet but do you know whether you have been to a hospital or a clinic? As trippy as that question may sound, let me tell you that the majority of people have no idea whether the place they went to in order to get treated was a hospital or indeed a clinic. Do not get m wrong, but these two do really have massive differences between each other.
The same holds true for animals too. When was the last time you dropped by a vet to get your pet checked? Was it a animal hospital or clinic? It does not really matter but just for the love of it, this short write up is aimed to help you and educate you about the differences of both these terminologies. Who knows you might need it in the future and thank then you are pretty much sure of the difference?
A hospital is a health center that is run round the clock, on all days of the week and can either be privately owned or run by the government. On the other hand a clinic can only be privately owned as the government never opens up a clinic. Moreover, clinics are only run for a couple of hours in a day. A hospital also tends to have beds or rooms which enable patients in extreme cases to stay the night or stay for a fixed period of time, whereas clinics do not promote the idea.
Clinics tend to be for a fixed purpose only and do not contain blocks or departments like hospitals do (emergency block, accident block, outpatient department etc, etc). Besides, hospitals are also mostly attached to a mortuary where they can keep bodies after having carried out a postmortem on them until a relative or guardian claims it. Clinics on the other hand do not possess this feature and even if a patient is rushed into a clinic and he happens to be in a serious condition, the doctors available in the clinic at the time make sure to transfer him to the nearest hospital where he can be duly and carefully tended to.
If you happen to go to any animal hospital in Rockville you may make these minor observations yourself and then compare them to a clinic. If you want to put it that way then consider a clinic the uprooted extension of a hospital. It does do the same job but not as efficiently. For a more accurate idea compare a room and a house.
Next time, choose an animal hospital Rockville over a clinic to ensure the ultimate care and treatment of your pet.
