should doctors be allowed to have family members as patients?

Summary: Should doctors be allowed to have family members as patients? According to this article, it's not the best idea. When family becomes involved, there is alot of emotions. Doctors may not think as straight when operating on a family member than on someone they didn't know. Sure, it can save a lot of money and they can be sure it will be the most excellent job, but Doctors really shouldn't practice on family because of the emotional problems it causes.

critique: Well, none of my family are doctors so I really don't know. I wouldn't want to operate on my sister, but then again it would be bad enough to operate on anyone.

Impact: Well these doctors are going to have to tell family to go somewhere else. They better hope they don't chicken out of it. Well would you tell your mother in law she has to go away?! haha
