SEX & RELIGION
(Posted 2010-06-15 09:02:44 by ArchPaladin)

The topic of my Patient-Provider Relationship class yesterday was on
breaches of ethics during interactions between both parties.  I found it
interested to see (a) what was considered an ethical breach, and (b) which
ones got the most class response.

Least/Almost no reaction: Patient brings up political views in an
unexpected manner when unprompted, and irrelevant to the discussion at
hand.

Some reaction: Patient and/or provider makes overtly sexual comments to the
other party.  The patient might make an advance toward the provider, or the
provider makes an advance before or during an acupuncture treatment.

Most reaction: During treatment, the provider quietly asks a terminally ill
patient, "Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior?"

Judging by the above, at this point religion is far more taboo than sex in
America.
