I've never heard kidney dish used, and I've unfortunately been in several hospitals (mostly on the west coast of the USt, but once in NY). When I was a kid the nice nurses who were trying to relate to me on a "kid level" called it a barf bowl. Which made me at least smile when I was ill. I have heard emesis basin from more by-the-book nurses, that's the official way I guess. More likely is "here use this, you look like you have to vomit,"
I've been fortunate in not having a lot of experience with hospitals, so this is all new to me. I'm taking from this that it's kind of a regional thing, though I think barf bowl is definitely the most accurate description of the thing. :D
