Serving to alleviate a patient's feelings of worry or distress.
From Scrubs Season 1 Episode 9 "My Day Off"
PATIENT: Great and, Doctor, thank you so much.
ELLIOT: You're welcome. Hey we've gotten to know each other over the last week haven't we?
PATIENT: I'd say so.
ELLIOT: And as a doctor you found me comforting.
PATIENT: God no.
ELLIOT: Come on, I'm pretty good with people.
PATIENT: You're horrible with people.
ELLIOT: I'm warm.
PATIENT: You're very cold, I mean, your hands... it's like you're a yeti.
ELLIOT: I have bad circulation. I- I do this all day (Elliot opens and closes her hands repeatedly) and it doesn't help.
PATIENT: Listen, sweetie, you're a very efficient competent doctor but your exams: do you examine everyone like that or just people you feel have wronged you in some way?
