Definition
求医 (qiú yī) is a formal verb meaning 'to seek medical treatment' — it emphasizes the active effort of looking for a doctor or cure, often for a serious or persistent condition. It is more formal than 医疗 (yī liáo), which focuses on the treatment itself, and similar to 就诊 (jiù zhěn) and 就医 (jiù yī), though 求医 carries a stronger sense of actively searching or traveling to find help.
