Question:

Is it appropriate for a doctor to call his patients, ??sweetie???


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This is one case where one has to be sensitive to the specific culture and practices of any given place, town, or setting. If the word is told without hint of any sexual overture, and is part of one's natural expression of personality, it may be fine but then again, it may not be well taken by the person it is told to. So in this one, one must be sensitive and must have common sense if one wants to stay out of trouble.
