Dear Abby
I
Thinks she’s in love
with her doctor
By Abigail Van Buren
c 1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N.Y News Synd. Inc.
DEAR ABBY: Do doctors ever fall in love with their
patients? I’ve been going to a certain doctor for some time
now, and from the first time I saw him something
happened inside me. Now the feeling is so strong I can’t
think of anything but him.
I can’t come right out and tell him how I feel about him,
but it must show when I look at him.
I hope he reads your column, then he might notice me.
Right now I'm just another patient. Please tell me what to
do.
IN LOVE
DEAR IN: Doctors have been known to fall in love with
their patients, but not nearly as often as patients fall in
love with their doctors. Your feelings are probably a
combination of admiration, respect, gratitude, hero
worship and fantasy—not love.
Don’t DO anything, except try to control the way you
look at him. Fantasies are fun and harmless—but you have
to live in the real world, so don’t get your hopes up, dear.
DEAR ABBY: I can’t get that letter signed PIECES out
of my mind. I’ve been there, so I know what it’s like to love
someone who has stopped loving you.
You said, “Don’t permit yourself to think of the lost
love.” On the face of it, that appears to be sound advice,
but suppressing such feelings will often make the grief
much worse later on, when the thoughts catch up and
overwhelm the conscious suppression.
The only way to adjust to such a loss is to finally accept
the lost relationship as a reality, and then move on to other
things that make life beautiful and worth living.
THREE YEARS LATER
DEAR THREE: I advise those whose love is not
returned to quit dwelling on the lost relationship, but it
goes without saying that first one must accept the fact
that it’s over.
DEAR ABBY: My employer is planning a dinner party
for the men in our company and wants to include their
wives. Two of the men are not married. One is a swinger
who dates several different women. The other is a young
man with a live-in girlfriend.
My employer feels that only legitimate wives should be
invited, thus excluding the swinger’s date and the live-in
girlfriend. Would that be proper?
INQUIRING
DEAR INQUIRING: No. If wives are to be included, the
single men should be invited to bring “a friend.”
DEAR ABBY: I am in my 60s and have worn dentures
for years. Recently I had a new set made, and the day I
was to pick them up, my dentist had some of his relatives
visiting in his office.
While I was in the chair, a boy who looked to be about 10
wandered in and stood right in front of me gawking while
the dentist asked me to take my old dentures out so he
could put the new ones in. I was mortified!
Abby, all these years none of my children or
grandchildren has ever seen me without my teeth.
A few days later, when my mortification subsided and
my sense of humor returned, I realized how lucky I was not
to have had this stupid dentist for my gynecologist.
MORTIFIED IN PHOENIX

GM spokesman said Wednes
day.
Others who once knew-how to
drive are out of practice, he
added.
So as part of a package deal to
move to Detroit, GM is paying
for lessons at “official driving
schools” for employees and
spouses who request them.
