One thing to take into consideration is how sick is the person? If they've been in a serious accident and are facing many months of physical therapy and recovery, "get well soon" or "I wish you a speedy recovery" is not the best greeting to use.

Likewise if they've got cancer and are undergoing their third round of chemotherapy. In cases like that, it's hard to know just what to say, but usually asking "How are you feeling today? Is there anything I can do for you?" is a good start. If you're sending them a card or letter, you can say "Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you."
