How I get him out of my mind

[TheThornBirds]

I have the classic situation. I am attracted to my gp. I am married with kids and he seems to be too (ring).
I am attracted to intelligence. My dh is university professor.

He is lovely and sexy but I know there is not going to be anything ever. He is a gp and I am "vulnerable" patient.

Should I change to another gp? I really would not like to.

I am surprised how hostile some posters are. Would I get same response if he was my personal trainer?

Ummm no
It’s just being a patient you are in a potentially vulnerable position if you have a crush on the doctor who is actively treating you though I know you have not actually made any attempt to do anything.

Yes, you probably would

I work in healthcare. I have never ever found a “connection” or attraction towards a patient. In fact thinking of it, it never even enters my mind where as if I’m out shopping and see somebody good looking I can appreciate the fact they’re attractive. But at work? Nope never. It never comes into it. I couldn’t think of anything worse.

And it’ll be the same for your gp

He will see you as part of his job. You’re just another patient to him. As soon as you leave the door and the next patient enters you’ll be forgotten about.

Move gp’s

Need to draw a line of reality here and stay the right side of it.
One of ths GPs at my practice is hot AF. I rarely go but when I do have to and I realize my appointment is with him, I do a little happy dance and feel slightly better before even seeing him. However, I know he is just a hot GP, there's not reciprocity. I don't want to run off into the sunset with him. I just appreciate he is mighty purdy and gives me fanny gallops.

It feels like you have over invested slightly in your crush. This often happens when real life is, for want of a better expression, a bit shit and we want to escape into a nice fantasy. Do you think your current health condition is making you crave a bit of this?
If so the answer really is to try and gain perspective, to ground yourself and recognise it for what it is. If this is the cause then once you feel a better and things are improving, normal service will resume.
