Patient has romantic feelings for Doctor?

Question

Should the patient let the Doctor know? Maybe try running into the doctor outside of the office so they would feel more comfortable?

Answer 1

It happens all the time and the doctor knows it.  Either change doctors, or treat him like an old not-very-handsome doctor.

Answer 2

Any reputable doctor would not get involved with a patient he's currently treating.

Once you're not his patient, try bumping into him?

Answer 3

is he your gynocologist? schedule a pap smear and a breast exam every week, he'll get the picture

Answer 4

yes i would do it outside of surgery for definate

Answer 5

yeah, definitely. If hes single go for it. They put their pants on one leg at a time just like us. Plus they make a better income than most of us do. I'm actually being serious, but to be more realistic just be prepared for either answer, weigh the pros and cons, and do what you really want to. I would imagine ethically speaking they will say no but they may not. And, obviously that raises other issues. Like what their ethics may be.

Answer 6

the patient should get a new doctor.

Answer 7

It would be inappropriate and ethically wrong for the doctor to have a relationship with the patient. The patient would be putting the doctor in a bad position. The patient should find a new doctor and move on.

Answer 8

if the Doctor is single ask him out

if he is married ..leave him alone

ask the receptionist if the Doc is married !

Answer 9

Well, I would definitely make sure he (or she) isn't married yet. If all is clear, then sure, make your  move! Good luck!
