Erotic transference: "erotic transference" is when a patient falls in love with his/her doctor. In a psychotherapeutic relationship, it can be discussed and used (not acted on) for the patient's healing. "erotomania" is a delusional belief that another person -- usually a stranger, high-status or famous person -- is in love with him or her. Common in psychotic illness like schizophrenia, bipolar mania, etc.

I called to dispute but the nurse just said the doctor was following routine gynecological processes. How do I prove she is wrong, that's he did not do her diligence to tell me. I told her upfront I don't have health insurance and I was a new patient.
