The idiom "at death's door" is a figurative expression originating from the idea that someone who is severely ill or injured is so close to death that they are metaphorically standing at the threshold or door of the afterlife. It is used to describe individuals who are in an extremely critical or life-threatening condition, often suggesting that their chances of recovery are minimal.
