Abstract
Hospitalists rarely sit when communicating with patients at the bedside. As an important component of etiquette-based medicine, hospitalists should strive to get to eye level when communicating with patients. Sitting, when compared to standing at the bedside, improves physician-patient communication and does not lead to any additional time spent in the patient's room.
