I can't help but be attracted to the doctor I'm shadowing lol. I don't think I've ever respected or admired someone so much. Just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation 🙂
 
I suspect that this will be a non-issue, and maybe even a good thing as long as it's NOT too obvious to bystanders. If, for example, you and the doctor (let's say s/he is attracted back), are blushing at each other with sparkling eyes and using flirtatious voices, it may seem unprofessional, esp. if the doctor writes an LoR.

Just be self aware!

Story of my life
 
Here's a twist: Did s/he use to be your doctor?
 
You're obviously idealizing them. This is a classic example of the power differential at play. Keep it in your pants.

Maybe, but truly there aren't many people I respect besides my parents. His dedication to his job is incredible and he's so caring about his patients even when they're not around to see it.
 
All the docs I've shadowed were old. One was semi-retired.
 
I shadowed a hot fellow once. It was great.
 
Hahahaha yes... well, it's usually the med student or resident working with the doctor I'm shadowing. It's completely innocent, and it does make me excited about medicine. :angelic:

😉😍 same
 
9/10 for this one. I definitely chuckled, if only because I have definitely met one or two physicians on Grindr. They were quite pleasant, if you must know.

Romance is divine, and I'm not one to knock it,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.
 
Has said doctor been attracted to yours truly? Yes. Have I been attracted to said doctor, meh.
