writes: Okay this is an odd thing that happened to me, I went to the doctors because I have been having some bad neck pains so I just randomly picked a doctor and when I finally meet the doctor I actually know him and have slept with him and his wife when I was a single woman I liked playing with this couple. We both had a moment of oh shit when we saw each other. My question is should I keep him as my doctor or should I change? He remained professional the whole time. Reply to this Question Share |

Lovemeright11 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionYeah I am not sure how he feels and I don't see how I could ever really ask him. He is one of the best in his field. I don't plan on trying anything cause I am at a different part in my life now and that sexual fun with him and his wife was 5 years ago. They are good people. I admit I felt awkward at the moment of seeing him, I feel okay now, but I was just not sure what the best choice was. Thanks all.

I would change doctors, it's that simple - unless he is the best in his field or something like that.

you were professional as was he.
did you pick him because of his qualifications?
if so, do you have a different doctor in mind that is as qualified?
are you bothered by it or are you more worried that he is?

I think changing doctors is the best thing you can do. It avoids any awkward situations.

I think you should change doctors.
It's not an automatic deal breaker, and it even sounds like he could continue with a proper, arm's-length, physician/patient relationship - but the fact that it bothers you indicates a different doctor would be in order. To maintain the continuity of your diagnosis and treatment you might ask for somebody else in the same practice group.
And when you switch, it would speak very highly of your integrity if you offered a brief, non-detailed explanation for your decision. Just a simple note such as, "Based on our prior friendship I'd feel more forthcoming with another physician.".

The fact is seeing him will bring that thought back,and with that, the closeness could be reignited, besides he's a married man and you know there are a whole lot of better doctors like him out there.
