So what I’m wondering tonight is this: how many of you have ever fallen in love with your doctors?
The reason I’m wondering this is because it happened to me today, and I want to make sure that I’m not any more of a freak than I already thought I was. I mean, that’s what the internet was made for, right? To find others like you, so as to know you’re not as hopeless as you once thought you were. It’s reassuring and life-affirming. Also, for porn.
Today I went to the doctor because for the past two days I have woken up with the worst headache ever, and then every time I’ve sneezed or coughed (which is still a lot), my head has exploded. I’d found that by holding my head really hard and pushing when I felt a sneeze or cough coming on, some of the pain wasn’t as bad, but then my left eyeball fell out, so I went to the doctor. Turns out I have a sinus infection, but meanwhile they made me wear a mask and I had to wait for an hour and a half and fill out three forms. I hate filling out forms.
By the time I got in to see the doctor, and after a cranky nurse took my blood pressure with the scary blood pressure cuff, in comes Dr. Beautiful. He was pretty, right from the start. With his light red hair and his beautifully pale skin, but then he started touching me (lymph nodes, don’t get excited), and I didn’t want him to stop. He had soft hands, and I was in a vulnerable emotional state. In that moment I was thinking three things: 1) Sooofffttttt, 2) I need a fucking boyfriend, and 3) Maybe I should be seeing a therapist.
So tell me the truth: never happened to you? Am I alone in this? Am I one of those people who needs to schedule in human contact? I am probably am, aren’t I? Shit.
1. Um, I work at a hospital. This is a regular occurrence if the doc isn’t a dick.
2. Yay antibiotics!
3. Now do you understand my human contact predicament?
I think it might be different when you’re the patient.
i cry at drs while describing my symptoms
I do that too
Me, three!
I’ve heard it enough times to assume it isn’t all that uncommon. Therefore, you are no more freakier than usual. It’s never happened to me, though, since almost all of the doctors I’ve ever been to have been old men.
On a related topic: I should have gone to medical school.
To get girls?
Can you think of a better reason to go to medical school?
Never experienced it with doctors, but in general, if you aren’t randomly falling in love with doctors, baristas, waitresses, clerks, or any other people you interact with on a consume level, then you aren’t really living.
So nothing uncommon there.
Umm, not going to lie, since moving to Bethesda I find myself attracted to cute, hispanic waiters and bus boys.
That’s a very nice philosophy, and makes me feel slightly better.
Never been treated by a younger MD, much less a young, hot MD. I think it is completely natural
On a related note (copying from Dan), maybe patients will have a crush on me someday. :)
This is the second time it’s happened to me. The first is when I sliced my finger open and had to get stitches. (This doctor was cuter than that one, though.)
Oh, so he was a Weasley?
Ohhh, yeah probably. I’m gonna go with Bill, before the werewolf mauling, and without the British accent. Yeah. I fell in love with Dr. Bill Weasley.
