Do doctors greet their patients with hugs? if so, why?

[Katel]

if yes, is it because he/she has something for the patient or is it in a friendly manner?

 

[Fifik]

i would say its grossly unprofessional, unless the patient is a family member or close friend.

If my doctor did that i would report him...

but my doctor would NEVER do that!!

No. They usually don't. If they do, it's because the patient is a family member or close friend.

It means the patient's about to die..

 

[alex90731]

no, it is too informal, and it ruins the doctor-patient relationship
