This comment will probably make some eyes roll.
I have a theory on the friends facebook suggests.
If people do a search for your page, and inspect your page, facebook will then recommend those people to you as friends.
It fits with this story, it’s not unlikely that her patients did a search for her on facebook out of curiosity

I don’t know how they do it, but I have people who are clients on my recommended friends list. I have never contacted them via facebook. No reason for me to have them on my friend list. It is creepy at times.
Why would Zuckersperg’s team want to create potential conflicts of interest by recommending that a psychiatrist “friend” her own patients?
What’s the big deal? Two different people with Lisa in their address books (or phonebook) told FB to look through their book for friend suggestions, which spawned FB to suggest them to Lisa (since she’s in their book and all). Then FB figured since they both know Lisa they might both know each so it suggests them to each other. That’s been their basic algorithm since they first added to “scan my address book” feature, I get friends of friends suggested to me all the time. It’s not creepy, it’s data processing, and it didn’t just happen.
