Not to mention the Jews and the blacks.
Next you’ll be saying they should have their own schools.

Best thing I can think of is to see a person frequently. If there’s chemistry it’ll come out sooner or later. I really had no interest in her, but then I worked a couple shifts with her, and aside from being an 8.5 (seriously; I’m amazed she even talks to me) she has an awesome personality. Hell, she HAS a boyfriend, and that doesn’t stop us from doing…stuff…together.
Life’s too short to worry about shit like this. As long as you’re not treating the lady for cancer or something, go for it.
You actually thought it was “unprofessional” that humans have feelings no matter where they are?
I get your post, but I do find it strange that people are so uptight that the concept of seeing someone you are attracted to at work is something they can’t see as being decent at all…until it happens to you.
Mind you, I didn’t write that I had acted on anything at all so I don’t understand what gave you that impression.[/quote]
It’s the nature of your profession that intensifies this problem, you understand.

I understand that…which is why I chose to do nothing at work but act like the world’s first big black bald angel.
I am wondering how even discussing it came across as “unprofessional”.
Because black bald angels are not supposed to notice wimmenz.
Now go strum your harp in the corner while those of us who work retail have wild sex orgies in the stockroom. Just make sure your boss doesn’t catch you snorting coke off that hot Thai intern’s ass. THAT is definitely unprofessional.
Seriously, I couldn’t say why. At least I realized it was a douche reaction. Hopefully people who give you crap about it have the same epiphany.

That is the most retarded statement ever. How is that even remotely unprofessional?

It’s only unprofessional if you’re on the clock. If you’re on your lunch break, then it’s totally cool. I’m reminded of that scene from Road House, “But I’m on my break!”

This seems to me to be the least easily misunderstood method.
This honestly sounds like a good idea.[/quote]
I will bet you any amount of money that this does not work. lol this is just terrible.
Prof X,
What ever happened with this situation ?

I personally left it alone. I am really not sure how to handle these situations because of the constant risk of “sexual harassment”…which in my opinion has gotten out of hand. That is why I just chose to avoid it.
Recently, I lost my best assistant (who was a doctor in another country) because someone in the clinic claimed he sexually harassed them.
I am not saying I don’t take any claims seriously…because I do…but apparently flirting is out in the work place on any level unless you have a psychic connection that allows you to know who really likes you and who doesn’t.
That sucks.
I just read a story on a doctor that was punished (by a medical board not criminally) for dating a patient. They said because he was her doctor that he had some mental authority over her where she couldn’t say no. I found that utterly ridiculous. I can see that applying to your boss, but your doctor?
I really don’t get it, I can understand why psychologists and psychiatrists and therapists should never ever date a patient, but I don’t see any reason why any other type of doctor couldn’t.
I can understand why a patient might be uncomfortable but not any more than if anyone else asks you out that you have dealings with. It’s a chance. At worst the patient can go to another doctor and you lose a patient and some income. But that’s nothing to do with professionalism, or ethics.
I can see people getting all angry and saying that is IS ethics, but it’s not. It’s expressing interest in another person that you have a business relationship with, that’s all.
I’ve even asked doctors out before but they all said no they are afraid to, that is ridiculous. How am I gonna get me a doctor wife if they keep it up? 
This is so out of hand nowadays. People are not robots, men are men not rapists, people have with emotions and desires and if everyone acted like an adult and was able to punish actual abusers without overreacting and punishing everyone else with them we’d all be a lot better off.
What a class act.
What I don’t understand is, at what point is someone no longer a patient of a physician? I mean, is there some time period that goes by before it is clearly defined? Beyond that, both people are consenting adults so I can’t imagine why it would be a problem.
Brotip: don’t treat your girlfriend like shit and she most likely won’t look to someone else for affection. She neglected to tell me so until we’d crossed a certain Rubicon, anyway. Fuck him.
If it makes you feel any better, it turned out to be a disaster for both of us and now she’s dating someone else.
We still hang out, she’s turned out to be a great friend and she’s taking me to Vegas with her for her 21st birthday. So, mixed bag.
Would I do it again? Ehhh…maybe not.
I’ll never be a doctor, but from my understanding doctors engage in some small talk with their patients. I would bring up something you do for fun, if you have a dog, say its nice out, think you’ll walk the dog today etc. ask her if she has a dog, then set up a ‘playdate’ for the dogs or something… I dont know, I suck at women. Don’t listen to me
