The Chinese word 看病 (kànbìng) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 看 (kàn) and 病 (bìng). The character 看 (kàn) means "to look at" or "to observe", while the character 病 (bìng) means "illness" or "disease". Together, the two characters form the word 看病 (kànbìng), which literally means "to look at an illness" or "to observe a disease". In modern Chinese, 看病 is used to refer to the act of seeking medical treatment or seeing a doctor. For example, a person who is feeling unwell might say 我要去看病 (wǒ yào qù kànbìng), which means "I need to go see a doctor".
