A "patient" is a person (or animal) who is being treated for a medical (or veterinary) problem. This meaning of "patient" is a noun. There is another meaning of "patient" that is an adjective.
A person (or animal) who is "sick" has a medical (or veterinary) problem that is not merely a simple physical condition. For example, a sickness can include the effects of a disease. Simply having a broken bone (unless there is an infection) is not a "sickness". "Sick" is an adjective.

As J.R. points out, "Get well soon" is an idiom. Google Images has lots of pictures of "Get well soon" greeting cards.
