Is it permissible to date one's patient?

Question

why is it necessary to know this thing? especially when working?

Answer 1

The Hippocratic oath that forbids you to date patients; the code of conduct of the American Medical Association does, too, on the grounds that blurring the personal and the professional "may exploit the vulnerability of the patient" and "may obscure the physician's objective judgment concerning the patient's health care." This is eminently reasonable.

Possibly have whomever you are seeing start seeing a different doctor to stay within the guidelines..
