writes:I know they don't get emotionally involved with their patients.But in my experience there are a few who really are compassionate and loving and are very sincere with their patients and their familes. I though I had met one like that whom I emailed, texted and called for my relatives health issues and even other personal stuff. My relative had now to be changed to another doc for change of treatment method and this one stopped texting me back. Is it because he feels it is not his duty anymore or just that he feels unhappy that their method of treatment failed? i can't guess. He had been extremely friendly assuring us all help. Now, does he hint "its not my concern anymore." I'm hurt.

Ours wasn't entirely a formal relationship and we did not only discuss about my loved one's condition but also of many other stuff related to medicine and healthcare. It is mainly because I too belong to the healthcare department and he did read my citations etc.
So we are friends in some way. And that's why I was so bothered when there was no msg from him. He is a wonderful doc.
Oh, anyway he replied. He was out of station and he wil give me a ring when he is back.

 Excuse me, but you are texting and calling a physician or medical practitioner about someone ELSE'S condition, someone who is no longer under this person's care?
You have to respect that this individual is no longer taking care of you or your relative, so unless YOU are the patient now and paying his or her bill, then you should respect that the relationship has ended.
It is no longer his duty or concern if your relative is no longer seeing this person. So let it go, and for heaven's sake, don't take it personally. Maybe the mistake this person made was being too warm and supportive and making you think he or she would be with you forever, but that's just not realistic.
I think you may have unrealistic expectations about the extent and duration of involvement of a medical practitioner's services toward someone who is no longer a patient.
I hope your relative is doing well.

 He is a professional, do not expect him to be texting you on a personal level for any other reason than a medical importants.
Now that you are no longer his patient you shouldn't be taking things so personal that he has stopped texting you and understand that in his line of work many patients will feel close to him and therefore make a move possibly, so it would be in his best interest to cut all contact as it is no longer professional.
The fact that he is friendly means nothing, doctors and meant to be friendly and understanding, it's all apart of the job, some just do it better than others, don't be confused by that.
I'm sorry to be so harsh but it needs to be said and made clear. move on ;- )
