Are you saying ';Doctor-Patient'; relationship as in DATING? Because thats probably not what the medical student means. Doctor-Patient relationship refers to the interaction of physicians and patients on a professional basis.





Physicians aren't supposed to date their patients, since that violates the ';doctor-patient'; relationship.What do you guys think about Doctor-Patient Relationships? Good or Bad?
I was told a long time ago ';Don't **** (defecate) where you eat';.





If you're talking about sex between Dr. and Patient is not advisable and unprofessional.
As long as it's professional it's a good thing.





If it's a personal relationship, it depends. If the patient is still under treatment, i'd say it's not good. When it's outside practice and won't interfere with treatment, i think it's okay.





I personally prefer not to get too personal with my patients.
