Could it have been "el paciente"/ "la paciente"? In a medical setting, this is "the patient."
Phonetically, did it sound like "pah-seen" or "pah-sin" or "pah-seen-ay"?
It may have been "va al cine": "He goes to the movies" Or, "pasan": They have gone/died (though it wouldn't make sense with "él"). Perhaps, "el paciente": The patient (if a medical client), or short for "be patient".
More context might help.
Maybe you mean, "la piscina," which is a swimming pool. Is that all she said?
