- n a shallow vessel used by a bedridden patient for defecation and urination
- When he had finished, whether with meal tray or bedpan, he put it in a plastic bag that went out through the air-lock after a pause for ultraviolet to sterilize its exterior.

- To many a hospital patient, the worst ordeal of all is the indignity and discomfort of the bedpan.
