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?
I’m not saying this sarcastically: have you tried to apply some common sense to that scenario?

Where I live, it’s allowed. But doctors are supposed to take ethics seriously (in general). They can decide. And usually they’re intelligent people and able to do so.
Also, what do you do if you’re living in the countryside and the only doctor around?
