Study Overview
Brief Summary
General practitioners are very often confronted with requests for care from their relatives (family, friends, etc.). In the United States, the recommendations advise general practitioners against taking care of their loved ones on several grounds: lack of professional objectivity, lack of information due to modesty, risk of loss of patient autonomy. Some countries even prohibit general practitioners from prescribing to a loved one except in an emergency.
In France, there is no current recommendation on the care of relatives. Half of French general practitioners have a physical secretary and are therefore potentially confronted with requests for care from their medical secretary.
