Would this bother you?

No. I would let them do it and ask for discount.

It wouldn't bother me, as they are a professional. They would probably be more annoyed, because they would assume I will be asking them medical questions every time I see them.

My father-in-law was one of two ob-gyn docs in a town, so many of his patients knew him socially, from church or the country club, etc. I wondered how they felt being under his care. Fortunately, both docs refused to talk about their patients.

Wouldn’t you know their name and make a connection? If it’s years you most likely would have known but if you didn’t I would leave if it were me. A dentist is one thing, the cooch is another.

Wouldn't bother me because I know of common everyday jobs that know about my personal life already.

You think your garbage man doesn't know personal things about you? He does just by performing his own job without really caring.

I think why it would bother me so much is because I was beaten by an ex husband when I was young, and I was bleeding from my kidney and had to go to the ER and they gave me a catheter...and the nurse that put it in was a girl that I went to high school with and we didn't get along in school at all..and then another time I was going to a therapist for what I went through with my ex, and I referred my best friend to the therapist. She came to me a few weeks later and told me word for word what I had talked about to the therapist in our sessions! I lost a lot of trust in doctors after that, and I always figured that the doctors talked about their patients to their spouse or friends.

Depends on the capacity in which they were a customer, but I think that's alright as long as you're not too uncomfortable.

I have actually been on both sides of this situation.

Not at all. I`ve had a Cystoscopy done twice and my wifes cousin worked there.

Let them do it, and try not to think about it when I saw them
