Holding Doctors Accountable in Charlotte, NC

The physician-patient relationship must be focused on the care and healing of the patient. The doctor must concentrate on the health of the patient. The patient must have trust in the doctor, and this trust cannot be exploited.

Examples of overstepping appropriate boundaries include:

• Inappropriate examination of the patient
• Inappropriate touching
• Improper remarks about the patient’s body
• Seductive talk
• Flirting
• Requesting details of sexual history when inappropriate

Physicians should also refrain from unprofessional relationships with nurses, supervisors, drug vendors or any co-worker when good, unbiased professional judgment might be affected.
