    Hi
    I have a really silly crush on a healthcare worker. I am in a relationship and otherwise very happy. I have been getting treatment for a sports injury and this involves up close and personal treatment. I had been going regularly and now he has said I don't need any more treatment. I started to feel like a teenage girl in his presence anyway getting nervous and giggly so maybe its for the best.Maybe he began to pick up on my nervousness. Is this common that people fancy people that are treating them? I know it will go away but I just cant get it out of my head at the moment. I am a grown woman in a relationship with a crush on someone I don't know outside of a hospital!. Any ideas on how to deal with this. I have been thinking a) forget about it and move on and see someone else as I don't think I am finished with treatment. b) if he felt the same he has all my details so would not find it hard to contact me and if he feel the same way surely he would do something . I don't even know if this man is married although he doesn't seem to wear a ring. I know it will pass I am just in a spin over this at the moment!

    Just because you are in a relationship doesn't mean you stop being attracted to other people - it's how you act on it that speaks towards your relationship. From the sounds of it this person has acted completely professionally with you from start to finish, and has done nothing to indicate that he wants to cross that line. If he is the professional that he comes across as in your post, I would take him at his word that you don't need any more treatment - if he felt that you did then surely he'd recommend that you see a colleague or other healthcare professional? It sounds more like wishful thinking on your part that the treatment not be over just yet.

    Best recommendation that I can give is to let the situation take care of itself - your treatment is over and you have no reason to see this person again - so don't try to find excuses. And look back on it for what it was - a fleeting crush, and nothing more.

    OP it might just be the extra attention you are getting in having the injury treated that is leading up to the crush rather than the doctor himself. I'd forget about it and move on.

    I would agree with Mike though on the if he was uncomfortable and you still needed treatment he surely would refer you to a colleague. He does sound professional and perhaps in his profession because of the nature of the work itself it does happen where patients might feel crushes but to him you're just a patient with a limb to be treated and nothing more.
