Am I A Flirt or Just Friendly?

Well, I guess somebody thought I was a little flirty with Dr. Vanderbeek at the VA today.  I am a little embarrassed that the way I was talking to him was perceived as being flirty.  Sam tried to reassure me that I wasn't being flirty and I didn't think I was being flirty, but I will let you decided.  Dr. Vanderbeek came into do an exam on my AM patient.  He did a head and neck exam and tried to throw his gloves in the garbage can.  He missed.  I went around, picked them up, and put them in the trash.  The doctor told me I didn't need to get them and that he would have gotten them.  I said, "It's not like I'm doing any thing else."  Then I joked about him making my area messy.  I then made a comment about how I thought he would have been better at basketball given his height.  We joked back and forth for about 30 seconds and it was over.  I then proceeded to talk to my patient about his kids and where they go to school.  At the end of the day I find out my instructor asked Sam if I was married because I was being "flirty" with Dr. Vanderbeek.  Well, I guess if I get asked out by Dr. Vanderbeek next week at the VA we will know that I was being a little too friendly!  I will keep you posted if he does.

  2. I was talking to my patient about his kids not Dr. Vanderbeek. I had remembered that we were told not to talk over our patients, so I thought I had better start asking him some questions while Dr. Vanderbeek looked at his x-rays.
