Male doctors not allowed to treat women?

Our doctor is male, he has been the doctor of my wife for almost 30 years, he has been my doctor for 22 years he has been our son's doctor all 21 years of his life. He is also the doctor of our baby girl.

So imagine my surprise when the wife goes off for her 6 week check up, after giving birth.
When she returns, she informs me that our doctor is "not allowed to do it!"
The reasoning for this, is that it has been stopped incase he "touches her in an inappropriate manner"
Exactly what else does a doctor do? Do they heal by the power of the mind?
Not only did this appointment waste the doctor's time, but it highlights just how stupid today's world really is.

If my wife has a heart attack and her doctor is on hand to administer emergency treatment, will he be prevented from doing so in case he touches her boob?
Those making the rules governing us, need to get a grip!
