I can't believe this! This is crazy!

Published

My friend accompanied his wife to a doctor's appointment (his primary doc for a long time; his wife's first visit there). Several hours later he got a text message from one of the women that works there (he's not sure what her title is) saying, "I hope you don't mind, but I got your number from your chart..." She then went on to confess that she has always had a crush on him!!!!! He replied back that she was a nice girl and all, and he's flattered, but he's not available. So then she sent him 2 other messages basically hitting on him saying that she wants to be more than friends and she wished circumstances were different. He showed me the messages and asked what I think he should do. He doesn't want to get her in trouble but he feels like it's going to be awkward the next time he or his wife has an appointment (ya think?).

I'm floored. First of all she accessed his chart when he didn't even have an appointment that day! So she could make an advance toward him that is alllll kinds of INAPPROPRIATE given that he is a patient, and not only married, but married to another patient! I know some people have no boundaries and will throw themselves at attached people, but this takes the cake! And she does all of this via text messaging??? How dumb can you be????

Has he known her? I dont think this is a "love at first sight" deal...did they date previously?

I say to hell with not wanting to get her in trouble...

why is he so sympathetic to HER, if I was his wife and he didn't report her ASAP; we would have words

I agree and would also have a huge problem with how he responded to this woman. She's "a nice girl," and he's "flattered." Seriously?!?!?!?

"Nice girls" do not hit on men/women who are taken. There are choice words, which I won't use, for peeps like her. She's not so nice after all :smokin:

I would be concerned about the aspect of my medical privacy, labs, abuse of personal information. If she is comfortable pulling out numbers to proposition married men, I would think it wouldn't be beyond her capacity to swap an STD lab onto a chart to "stir up the pot"?

Creeps me out.

I question the husband's integrity in addition to the clinic nurse's sanity.

OP i believe you need to make the guy and his wife read this thread as people have stated the possible outcomes/harm that this lady could cause to not only him but his family as well.

One might not like getting someone in trouble but sometimes one has to use common sense so the situation does not blow up in the face

Two words come to mind.. creepy and stalker.

This is so inappropriate in so many ways. It sounds like she has some psychiatric issues big time.:eek:
