[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 864052, member: 1191"] Not sure what denominations do that. I can say that none of the protestant denominations do that I am aware of. I have maintained contact with many of my former pastors, and several check in on me routinely. My uncle works as an associational minister in south Georgia for the GBA and they have no such rules. Also, while a professional relationship might be over, that doesn't sever any personal ties. I am personal friends with my general physician. I dare say that if he moved on to another practice or area, he's still keep in contact with me and that wouldn't be either illegal or unethical. There's also the fact that doctors often encourage second opinions. They know other doctors may well be involved in your care. Former doctors of yours can contact you regardless of your current status as their patient. What they can't do is illegally share your records or data. It would be unethical of them to contact you with the [B][I]INTENT [/I][/B]to damage another Doctors professional reputation or business. The personal tie does not need to be preexisting to the DR/patient relationship for it to be valid. They are absolutely correct on the professional part. There are some professions where there are stricter guidelines, as I mentioned with lawyer/psychiatrist, but generally speaking, ministers and doctors aren't under the same stringent rules as others.
