My flirty PT (23)
DazzleYou: Ok, yesterday was interesting. Since I have been working with this therapist, she has always been flirty.
I just kind of looked at it as her way of motivating a guy to strive and succeed in therapy. No biggy, and she is a cute girl, so it makes it kind of fun.
But now I am faced with what I would consider a breach of ethics with her - I will spare you the details.
Now I have to decide if I want to find another therapist.
I have to admit that she is doing a good job with the actual physical therapy with me, and I am definitely making progress. But as a doctor, I understand very well the ethical boundaries we have to have between doctor and patient.
The fact that she is married is also a concern for me having been cheated on myself.
I guess I am on a line between speaking up and saying that her advances - while flattering, takes our relationship somewhere where it just can't go, or just finding another therapist all together.

Honestly, Dazzle, if I was in your shoes, I'd find another therapist. There are many out there who can do just as good a job of the therapy, without making you uncomfortable by crossing those lines. And you have a long road ahead of you with this, so I'd say you're better off in the long run to switch therapists.
Keep up the good work with therapy, though...I'm still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Doc.

I have to admit that she is doing a good job with the actual physical therapy with me, WHOO....

Overall, I'm glad you seem to have the decency(miss-spelled) to understand that it would be wrong, to her husband
I don't really know what to give you as far as advice though... If you don't think it can remain a proffessional relationship, between the doc, and the patient. Then for you to avoid feeling guilty if something should happen between you two, then I would just find another doc.... Don't tell her anything... they could be consequences going down that road......------ This thread is Archived ------

Doc, if she's making you feel uncomfortable, then I think you already know the answer.

It doesn't seem as though medical ethics should be anything you need to be concerned about. That would be more her problem than anyone else's. You would be the victim rather than the person breaking any medical ethical code.
You do however need to decide whether or not you want to dip your pen into another mans ink well. That's both dangerous and depending on one's morals, the wrong thing to do.
If I were in need of some sort of professional therapy or ounseling I would want it done professionally. After all you're the one paying for it. Perhaps she has the profession she's being paid for confused with a much older and better paying profession.

That's the problem, I am not really uncomfortable.
I am uncomfortable ONLY because she is married. I am one sick puppy.

Tell her you're uncomfortable and why.
If you don't, she'll think you're okay with it.
If you do... who knows what will happen, but you were honest, and she probably needs a reality check of some sort!

She's married.
Has a husband.
Goes home to him at night, one would assume, as she should do.
When he asks how her day was, she likely says, "Oh, the usual... nothing new or different."
So, let's put the moral aspect aside for a minute (although, this would be the deal-breaker for me). Just ask yourself what you want to be to her. A secret fling? Is that ok with you? If so, for how long? How long will you be in therapy? Will you continue this fling or will it be a one-off...if so, then what? Awkward sessions or switching to a new therapist?
I see a change in your PT as the only viable option. Now or later, that's up to you, but unless you're ok with being her side dish until she either develops a conscience or is afraid of getting caught, I'd suggest moving on now.
