I’ve known of several doctor/nurse pairings. I’ve also heard that their is a relatively high rate of hanky panky going on between and among medical practitioners. I’ve also heard of that with respect to pilots/stewardesses. It may be just a matter of proximity and opportunity.
I’ve also known of police officer/emergency nurse pairings. If I hadn’t been married during my career, I could have imagined dating a nurse or two. Oh, and I know for a fact that there is some significant hanky panky between cops and other cops, and between cops and nurses. A lot of it has been hearsay, and I have no idea if the incidence is any higher than among other professions.
And any apparent reduction in the number of doctors may be a result of the cost and rigors of medical school/internships and the cost of operating a practice, including the cost of malpractice insurance.
I have similar thoughts on the matter. My current doctor’s nurse at the VA is quite good looking and is a flirt. She’s fun to be around, but that’s it. There’s also a male nurse there, and I’ve seen them both out in public, and they are both married, but not to each other.
And I suspect hanky panky between a nurse practitioner and a doctor at the cardiology department.
It really does not matter what profession or job we are talking about, if two people of the opposite sex work together long enough there will be hanky panky.
At my last job before retirement I had a co-worker come right out and asked me to go make out. I refused and she was forever highly suggestive from then on.
The job before that a coworker told me she could be my “service station” at work. I refused. She found another guy, she got pregnant, told her husband, who told the other guys wife, and that other guy was divorced.
I can go on and on, but this happens all over the place.
“I’ve also heard that their is”

And I even proofread and missed it.
With the emergency services, there is a phenomenon called trauma bonding. It is shared experiences of everything that happens in emergencies and shared experiences, along with the physical attraction that occurs between personnel when they are all attractive and in shape.
I have known a lot of them. Some are legit, but there were a number that I knew of that weren't. We had one Cardiologist I had to work with who was married and professionally, was a royal a-hole. Really. He was seeing a woman on the side who was good friends with my wife (they worked together in the CCU). They had a thing going on for years. I heard all the stories. Bah. He was a jerk to work with, and cheated on his wife to boot. Pathetic. No respect professionally, no respect personally.
