as much into the relationship as the doctor?
Answer:
I do not believe that her license would be taken, but she would probably end up with disciplinary action by the medical board that regulates her. Even if the patient agrees to the relationship.
Depending on what type of MD, a psychiatrist dating a patient may very well lose his/her license, but an general practitioner may not.
Should the doctor and patient mutually agree to a relationship then that doctor needs to relinquish care to another physician immediately, preferrably in a different office.
NO
no the doctor wont lose his licence but after a while he wont be able to see her as a patient.. she will have to see another doctor but they can continue their relationship with no problems/hassles
It's possible, especially since the people on licensing boards tend to be urbanites. Imagine the situation of a doctor who's the only physician for fifty miles in a rural area!
I agree with amilne2441
If you are a psychiatrist, you can lose license for dating patients. That is the one specialty that is not allowed.
For other field, it is a taboo that is frawned upon. There is no law, but it should be avoided. To date a patient, one must fire the patient for an extended period to make sure that there is no conflict of interest or cohersion.
