WHY is it considered unethical to treat you own family members?

also if you have emotions you will not think properly and if something bad happens you dont want to be the one. Im not trying to say that you are not suppose to care for your patients

You cannot be objective since you are part of the family dynamic There may be a power relationship between dr and pt, e.g., big brother to little brother

Totally agree. Even you try hard to be professional with your relatives, they wouldn't accept you as a professional. I tried once to say my mom that other medicine will be better for her
