Does that rule only apply when they’re on the clock? Are doctors even allowed to treat their own family members? If a doctor got intimate with his wife after treating her, could she sue him?

    Where I live, doctors are discouraged (though not forbidden) to treat themselves and their family because of increased risk of misdiagnose. For example, when treating their own kids, some people tend to worry too much when their children get some fever, which lead to over medication. On the other hand, some people tend to not worry too much and not treating their kids until it’s too late.
