In fact No. 1 once told me she's not even allowed to give a client over the counter painkillers if she has a bottle of Tylenol around (I had a headache).
Smaug asked if I had cared for the wounds, but didn't actually check physically. I assumed that was because she was an MD.
I get the jealousy (although it seems to me you already have a pretty special relationship with Kashi). But isn't he worried about possible negative effects? Not just lawsuits, but he might be creating a dynamic where clients self-harm and don't take care of themselves because he will.

My former p-doc asked to see my wounds when I saw her shortly after SHing, but as you said, I think that's because she's an MD. I wanted to show T (just to make sure she'd still accept me), and she seemed reluctant at first, but then agreed. (Didn't show MC because I didn't see him till a week after and they were on my stomach, so felt a bit odd lifting my shirt for him.)
Pretty sure none of them would have tried to dress my wounds. I think p-doc just wanted to make sure they weren't too severe (they were relatively minor) and that I didn't need medical attention. I seriously doubt she'd have done anything herself, but would have told me to go the hospital that's a block away from their office.
