People Also Ask
What does 'pillow therapy' mean?
It is gallows-humour slang for the never-acted-on fantasy of quieting an exasperating patient with a pillow. It vents frustration and is never a real intent.
Is 'pillow therapy' ever serious?
No. It is dark hospital humour only, used privately among stressed staff, and describes nothing that is actually done to patients.
Are there other names for it?
Yes, it is also called 'tontine treatment' in the same darkly joking sense.
