Although offering cold medical care inside the office is not recommended, it is also necessary to set limits.
A nurse lost her job for having sex with one of her patients inside a hospital parking lot.
The biggest drawback was that the man suffered a heart attack during intercourse and for not calling to request an ambulance the consequence was fatal.
A rather peculiar case of a A nurse who had sex with a patient inside a hospital has been around the world. Various opinions have been generated around the subject for everything that this situation implies. But what has caused the most outrage is that there was a fatality for everything that happened.
Relationship between health professionals and patients
First of all, it is convenient to talk about the contact between health professionals and patients. At all times emphasis is placed on avoiding offering a cold and indifferent service because it can cause discomfort. When a case of this type is generated, it is more difficult to form long-term relationships.
With this in mind, the basic principle is to remember that the doctor’s office is attended by people and not machines, so offering humane treatment is essential.
On the other hand, exceeding the limits of friendship can affect professionalism, especially in cases in which bad news or unfavorable results must be transmitted. If you have ever had to inform your patients about deadly diseases such as cancer, you know that it is too complicated to do so. If they are also friends or people with whom you have formed a strong friendship, it is even more difficult to do so.
For all of the above, the ideal is to find a middle ground in which you always treat your patients with respect. In turn, you must establish certain limits and make it clear that a professional relationship must prevail. If you don’t get it, you can become too attached to them and in the end that can be counterproductive for you.
