New here. Accusing you of stalking him was so out of line in context that it suggests that his judgment was compromised... was he having a bad day? Does he have a mental or emotional disorder of his own? His remark hurt you so deeply and for so long; is it really possible that this effect was intentional? You owe it to yourself to clear the air over this if
; would it be possible to address the issue with him directly and express how much his remark hurt you? You might be surprised and relieved to find that he hadn't meant the accusation to be taken literally or seriously. I've said a thousand things that I wish I could later qualify or retract, and many things have been said to me that hurt deeply but that I haven't had the courage or opportunity to question or challenge. As both your physician and co-worker, this guy owes you an apology.
