(7,826 posts)Change that to 62 million have dated someone at work. Also we are not talking specifically about stats but about the general state of working relationships. I don't think there is anything at all wrong with speculating that the number of people that would date someone at work, is much higher than those that do. I could look for specific information, but I doubt it's available and I think it's self evident.
You're misreading the stats for those that marry. It is 31% of 40% not 18% which gives you about 12.5%.
Try telling your gay friends that who they're attracted to is modeled by their parents.

I don't think being attracted to someone and flirting are grounds for losing your license or should be. There is no suggestion that the doctor has this problem with other people. And I'm not defending his actions, or saying he acted ethically at any time.
In addition people have different levels of willpower in different areas. Some people can't say no to a drink. Some people eat too much. Some people are sexually provocative. It doesn't mean they are bad people.
To anyone reading my posts. I'm not suggesting that the doctor was ethical or that the woman wasn't discriminated against. At no time have I claimed either. I am just analyzing the circumstances and playing devils advocate. I find this to be a really interesting philosophical discussion.
