The Question:
I started seeing a specialist for migraine issues, the first time I saw him he was nervous he fixed his socks, wiggled around a little, and played with his wedding ring, a tad nervous. But after some phone calls about medication changes, I went to a follow up appointment. This time he made me feel uncomfortable. In the exam room I sat in a chair across from him he started placing his feet right in front of mine no matter where I moved them, when I moved them he re positioned him self and their they were again close like an inch or so. I felt like he wanted do something?
But I ignored it the entire time he talked to me he had this locked eye contact with me, this time he was taking his wedding ring off and putting it back on with this look on his face as he looked at me, the only time he broke eye contact was to look at my mouth a lot (I wasn’t talking). my roommate came with me both times to help explain how bad I was feeling. he looked at my roomie when he talked but quickly went back to the iron stare. He mimicked how I sat I rested my head in my arm on the chairs side, he did to on the exam bed next to his chair leaning in and rocking his legs on a foot stool. I however, think it is OCD or something hence the staring and foot thing.
I want to think its OCD he gets touchy when you go talk to him in his office, it is plain with no pictures of his wife which is odd but I guess he’s private. Would you think he has OCD, or is just nervous or would you think he liked you, answer honestly, please! He makes me uncomfortable as my next visits will be alone not with my roommate with me, or should I bring my roommate?
My Response:
Dear Migraines;
If you are feeling uncomfortable then I would just go to another doctor, there are plenty of other doctors that can help you. You can request your records from this doctor so that wherever you go, you don’t have to start over. It could be he just has a nervous twitch or something, but if he’s making you feel uncomfortable then why keep going? Find yourself another doctor and you won’t have to worry about this doctor anymore…
