    Well, they get into those stirrups voluntarily, so I’d say yes.

      Actually, this was a survey of cardiologists.

      I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere.

        Well then, they’re already heartbroken, so still a yes.

          6 months seems a little long…

          How long have they been dead?

            If it’s cardiologists, I think the likelihood of blossoming romance is pretty slim. Ever seen a cardio waiting room?

              What struck me is the rather arbitrary "It's OK" timeframe.

              What makes it not OK at less than 6 months? What's different in two years?

                  The comedy potential here is being wasted. Get busy.

                    How? It's not a funny situation at all. Emotional complications, ethical quandaries, basing an entire relationship on false pretenses... no good can come of it.

                    You date a patient, you're fucked.

                        Guy I went to medical school with not only dated a patient, he had a baby with her...while he was married to someone else.

                        He's an OB, by the way....
