Does that rule only apply when they’re on the clock? Are doctors even allowed to treat their own family members? If a doctor got intimate with his wife after treating her, could she sue him?

This is all about etics, and I’m pretty sure that no, they are not allowed to do so. It’s highly unethical to give drugs and treat a family member as you won’t be objective. The family member should seek help from another physician.
