Have You Fallen in Love with a Patient?

[JaxSage]

Okay, just admit it. How many patients have you had a crush on...or have even fallen in love with? And...how many of those patients did you wish were your wife/husband??? I know it seems like a silly question...but...

I didn't really fall for this patient, but she was an incredibly frequent flier due to narcolepsy and cataplexy combined with being a stressed out 1st year university student. The condition was really screwing with her life, but she was incredibly well adjusted with it. Just a really pleasant person to be around and one the few times her condition had some severe complications I realized that I cared more than was entirely professional. Too many interactions had blurred that line but that was as far as it went.

Only in my mind!

Well first of all, I do not typically wish/fantasize/imagine them as my wife...that comes after many other wishes-- if at all.

Back in the days of telegrams (I'm told), a businessman attending a conference at a resort upset his wife by dictating a message that arrived: HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME. WISH YOU WERE HER.

when I workd in the ER my soon to be wife at the time came in with a migraine. I gave her 10 of nubain in her rear end and she ended up sleeping on my couch. We got married several months later.

we were engaged at the time of her shot.

Much better story without the clarification.

You can not fall in LOVE during a 20 minute encounter with a patient, only LUST.
