bedside manner
Refers to how well the doctor or nurse interacts with a reclining patient and makes him feel comfortable, reassured, and welcome at the hospital.
Example:
Extra points on a doctor/nurse's bedside manner if he/she is willing to actually climb in bed with the patient for a little while to soothe him and keep him company... snuggles/massages are usually expected; sex is optional but often gladly welcomed by the patient, who likely will then recommend the hospital to his friends for anytime they feel a need for "medical attention" themselves... a great way to keep the hospital-beds filled!! This "cuddles in exchange for praising the hospital" deal is a similar idea to a waiter/waitress's providing exemplary service to a diner-patron in hopes that said patron will give the staffperson a generous tip.
