writes:I've known a male doctor for 19 years. He used to treat one of my children and seemed to like my family-anyhow things changed suddenly. His behaviour changed, he seems to avoid talking to me-or any one on one interactions with me, I get the feeling that I make him nervous somewhat. He is unable to make eye contact and sweats profusely and uncontrollably. One minute he is friendly and really eager to see me and comments on how young I still look and literally the next minute he flees from my company a fumbling sweaty mess. Now he avoids greeting me altogether, he avoids me in stores and has stopped going to the same malls I go to(we live in a small town). what could be the problem? Please help as his behaviour is curious to me. Reply to this Question

Since you don't see how he reacts around his other patients, i'm not sure why you would think it has to do with you. Unless you have done something like flirted with him, then I could see why he was acting that way- that would make sense so he may be uncomfortable.
He is your doctor but you are not his therapist.
How do you know when he goes to the mall?

Maybe he knows something about your family ie your husband that you do not know about and it makes him uncomfortable to be around you due to this knowledge. Otherwhise someone may have told him gossip about you and he has taken this on board making him feel uncomfortable. The other possibility is that he has feelings for you and knows that he cannot pursue them due to doctor patient relationship. My gut is telling me though with him paying you compliments about you being young looking could be the first thing I thought of in that maybe he knows something about your husband that would really upset you.
