Difficult Answer: Physicians must maintain a professional relationship while still showing compassion and concern. This can create feelings in patients that can progress to attraction and more. It is a major ethical (and in some cases, legal) problem for a doctor to return the feelings. An md must distance themselves, otherwise care will be compromised. Search for another md if you can't resolve your feelings.
