I don’t regret going into aesthetics. I made my wife through aesthetics. She’s a former client of mine.
In other countries you can be struck off by dating and marrying your patient.

I feel sick just listening to him saying that his wife was his former patient. Desperation max

How is FM experience going to help you to market Botox and fillers? Are you for real?

Lawyer bro chirping in here. Professional Etiquette only applies if there’s an ongoing doctor-patient relationship. This will not be entirely applicable if a. The doctor leave the clinic of employment or b. The lady ceases to be a patient of that clinic.

Usually these cases arise when there is a complaint filed by the patient/partner/spouse after a divorce or break up.

It can be a grey area to prove when the line was drawn.

It can also be argued that as a former patient the doctor could have exploited the patient's vulnerability and trust.

The law is not as strong in Singapore for doctors who treat family members or even look at family member medical records or write prescriptions for them.

My guess is that most GPs would write prescriptions for their own family members when they are sick. How does that work then when you say that person is "no longer a patient of mine"?

The aesthetic doctor in question can be liable for a breach of duty if the clinic can establish with sufficient grounds, that he started the dating relationship with the patient whilst in employment. In this case, he is fully subject to the laws even if he has already resigned from the clinic. A good case in point will be Tan Chuan Jin..

The clinic can also sue the former aesthetic doctor for damages if it’s established that the patient decided to stop coming for treatments due to either forced coercion by the doctor (to cover up the relationship) and/or voluntary (aesthetic doctor boyfriend telling her that the clinic treatments are too expensive vis-a-vis other clinics).

Basically, it’s really unwise for that guy to divulge things like that because it opens up a whole can of worms. I hope he doesn’t do that in real life.

I am sure out there someone knows who this doctor is.

It is very uncommon for doctors to marry their patients. And aesthetic patient some more.

Gives a new dimension to the term "family doctor".

So he had to marry her
