A really simple riddle!!!!?

One day, a doctor and his son are driving in a car. Out of nowhere, a drunk driver crashes into them and the doctor and the drunk driver are killed immediately. The son is rushed to the emergency room in critical condition. The doctor comes into the room, takes one look at the son and says "I can't perform this surgery. He's my son."

How is this possible?

    The doctor in the car is his stepdad whom he lives with with his mom. The doctor that is to perform the surgery is his real dad (or paternal father).

    Maybe both doctors were gay and had adopted the son legally.
