How can I tell what this Doctor is up to and want from me. I go to him twice a week for therapy and in the past lets say three month he always touches me like on my shoulder and keep his hand there for a while, he has his arms out three times when I got up off the table for a hug, and the hugs have been really tight. His arms was out for a hug when his Dad passed away in November and I expressed to him how I was sorry and brought him a card, his arms were out for a hug from me from Chrsitmas and New Years Eve. I have been going to him for almost a year and all of suuden he seems interested in me in about the last four or five months. He said if he treatment did not work he would buy me lunch.

This is unprofessional and unacceptable behaviour. Change your doctor. If you feel inclined, report him to the authorities. He may well be taking advantage of other, vulnerable patients.

dorfmeistersfan agony auntI am not with Medical Doctors, dentist, etc., buying patients lunch, unless they are hungry or in need of nutrition.

Not the arm actions, as I was reading, seemed acceptable until I read further he wanted to buy you lunch. Now the arm actions are reason to assume his professional behavior is entirely unacceptable as standard in the expectation of the medical profession.

Bad Doctor!

Elliekitten agony auntwell this is tough to answer as you didnt say if you liked him in any romantic fashion,or wanted to have some sort of relationship, or if you hated what was happening and wanted it to stop?

if you do like him you maybe giving off vibes telling him so, if not and his behaviour is making you feel uncomfortable then his behaviour is way off the mark, if you have enough courage tell him his behaviour is bothering you as he may not realise what he is doing if you cant bring yourself to do this i feel you need to end the treetment and get another doctor. doctors are not allowed to persue patients as his relationship with you should be completely docter patient and trusting, however if you genuinly think he likes you and you like him you need to talk to him and end the treetment when he isnt your doctor you are free to persue a relationship.

I'd be VERY wary of this guy. If you're picking up he's interested in you, there's probably something wrong. Doctor-patient relationships should be trusting, but not to the point of seeming strange. I'd even be leery of his treatment, especially if he offered to buy you lunch if it didn't work: he may actually flub the treatment so he can get you food!
