A building where humanity bets on tomorrow with today's blood work.
means A place where sick or injured people go to receive medical care and treatment.
from From Latin 'hospitalis' (relating to a guest), rooted in 'hospes' (host, guest, stranger). The same root gave us 'hospitality,' 'hospice,' and 'hotel' — a reminder that hospitals began as places of shelter for travelers, pilgrims, and the needy, long before they became centers of medicine. The welcoming of a stranger and the tending of the sick share the same linguistic ancestor.
