Paul is a character in the short story “Paul’s Case,” which was written by Willa Cather, who was not living a life that he wanted to.

Throughout the story, Paul is someone who the readers need to take time to think about to fully understand him.

Similarly, the AAMFT Code of Ethics also requires that therapists “make every effort to avoid conditions and multiple relationships with clients that could impair professional judgment or increase the risk of exploitation.

Some of those love affairs include Dr. Meredith Grey and Dr. Derek Shepherd (A.K.A. McDreamy) and Dr Christina Yang and Dr Preston Burke. Too often it seems that the characters care more about their love interest than their own dying patients. ER also used romance to drive up viewership, but additionally they also tried to incorporate real life scenarios and real life diagnoses. In the episode “Tell Me No Secrets”, the medical staff at County General Hospital is struck with a rape case. A case like not only gives the audience a snap back to reality, but it also shows the real life scenarios from a doctor’s

In the case of Jason and Gabriela, Jason should maintain his professional boundaries with Gabriela; however, in the last night of her discharge He gave a hugs her and kisses her cheek and sharing personal information with Gabriela is unethical.
