I have real problems with this. When T talks about another patient I feel incredibly jealous, and its kind of like a realisation that out relationship is not special to him- I am just another patient and he's just doing his job. I hate that he speaks about other patients with the same care and compassion he shows me. I want to be Ts favourite patient, I want to be the one that he thinks about during the week, the one that he has more affection for than anyone else. I want to be the patient that makes a difference to Ts life and the one he wants to help more than anyone else.

I know it sounds selfish, but it's how I feel.

I'm wondering how others deal with it- or is it not an issue for you?
