: Sí, (pacientes) sanos preocupados es perfecto aquí. En pediatría pej tb no es infrecuente la alusión diagnóstica de "padres preocupados" -que no deja de ser una formulación equivalente en el fondo, en tanto que "pacientes sanos con padres preocupados".

: Considero necesario incluir la palabra paciente, pues indica que se presentan a los servicios de salud y demandan servicios, si sólo se deja "sanos preocupados" cabría considerar que pueden estar sanos y preocupados, pero en casa
