Why

@@Phoenix411th Because it interferes with the way you treat them and clouds your judgement and treatment plan. While you do know your family the best you don't think like a doctor and do what is best for them. I am not saying that the family member doesn't have the best in mind for the hurt person they just don't see them as patient but their family. Just like this. Dr. Blake could have killed her daughter without meaning to if Dr. Marcel hadn't stepped in. Again this didn't mean that Blake was a bad doctor but she was thinking as a mom not a doctor. Sure you can be keep in the loop of the medical treatment as a family member but not as a doctor, Now it does get a little tricky depending on the type of treatment and place, A good chuck of my cousins all went into the medical field in some way and they made sure that they did not treat anyone that was related by blood or marriage unless it was asked. My Grandfather had to go in for a minor surgery and when it was found out that one of the nurses that was gonna prep him was his niece he was asked if he would like another nurse, My grandfather said no as he knew that his niece would be professial. He said he felt more comfortable with her doing the prep as she had helped him at home a few times due to a older injury and she knew just how to do what needed to be be done and again make him feel comfortable in some of the more (exposing parts of the prep if you get what i mean) as she had help my grandmother help my grandfather with a bath more than a few times. so there is that part of having your family treat you. My cousin of course was not allowed to be his nurse after his surgery but he did request her quite a bit to explain some of the things that was going on. The nurse he had was great and everything but she didn't explain in a way my grandfather understood.

@@Phoenix411th Too much history of family treating family and hesitating/making risks or refusing to do what is needed out of fear of what could happen to them. Nowadays it depends on what's going on and all, I've heard in some cases doctors can perform on family, but its not at all recommended.

@sp1r1tsage oh that makes sense The reason I asked my sister is a nurse

@@Phoenix411th Don't worry. If you wind up in the hospital, you are protected from her trying to off you to get a bigger inheritance. 😉

Would it not? With the daughter out the mother is most likely the closest in line to make medical decisions. I don't recognize any authority by which she can be stayed. Other discussions say this is unwise, to which I agree.

No because you can’t treat your own family!

That’s why it happened on a tv show.

@@theresarasche3173 There's no such law. There's all this not recommended, against policy, etc. but no actual law.

Almost nothing about these shows would happen in real life

yes it is. good eye!

Is it a problem that I know her as Jenny Matrix?

or do you just like chicago med?

No, you are right.

yes it is. good eye!

Chicago Med didn’t fall off, it’s a tv show on NBC, MD TV just streams little parts of the tv show episodes

I think people prefer some of the other doctors
