I enjoyed this article about what a doctor thinks/does when he runs into a patient in public:

now I'm paranoid...I see my surgeon at the grocery store fairly regularly...My hubby ran into our doctor in line at a local fast food restaurant - he looked like a kid who was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. For our point of view, it was nice to see he was human!I noticed a photo on the bulletin board at our ped's office of the staff at a picnic. Then, in horror, recognized that it had been taken at our swim club. Please lord, I thought, I have been through enough emotional turmoil and bared enough of my soul with some of these guys without bringing swimwear into the picture.
When the pool reopened for the season, I went over the membership roster name by name. Thankfully, it was female ped who had joined and even though we had always liked her, I stopped making appts. with her so I could enjoy the pool!
