It depends what you mean as suitable or not suitable... Doctor romancing a patient is unethical indeed, if you mean this kind of inadequacy - it makes me uneasy too.

Is she forced? Yeah, she's tacky as a bur to dog's tail. But she's cocquetting everyone (also Bryce and unnamed stranger). It's probably a defensive mechanism to her disease.

In the edge of XIX and XX centuries, before people got to know how to cure tuberculosis, it was known as incurable disease. People used to get to sanatorium in highlands (the bacteria didn't like this climate), and wait to recover. There were trials to surgical interventions, with weak response. Many people, aware of their mortality and fragility, become promiscuous (men and women made casual sexual intercourses with strangers), according to the principle "enjoy life while you can, because you will die soon".

By the way, tuberculosis was the reason why there was invented a thing called psychotherapy. There was a need to talk about the disease itself, patients' feelings and reflections, preparations for death, believings in afterlife etc. Now tuberculosis is curable, but psychotherapy is still needed in today known incurable diseases, such as neoplasmae.

That's why I won't romance Kyra. For the first, she's a patient. For the second, her shamelessness is just a mask she wears to hide how scared she actually is. Her provocative behaviour is caused by her illness, so romancing her would be as ethic as exploiting someone unaware of their deeds (drunken, drugged, dozing off, in the state of shock etc.), according to the principle of alleged discord (even if this person says "yes" or doesn't protest, we don't know if they would do it if they were fully conscious).
