Doctor's attitude - demands beer in confusion (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
bedside manner
'doctor's attitude' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'demands beer in confusion' is the wordplay.
'confusion' indicates an anagram.
'demands'+'beer'+'in'='demandsbeerin'
'demandsbeerin' is an anagram of 'BEDSIDE MANNER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bedside manner that I've seen before include "Reassuring trait of doctor" , "Doctor's demeanour with patient" , "9 bearing" , "Doctor's way with patients" , "Doctor's personal quality?" .)
