Maybe he made a very poor joke
Maybe was was making a mediocre joke that would have been obvious if you could have seen his eyes.
Maybe he was upset with someone else at your facility and stupidly took it out on you.
Maybe you misheard him.
Maybe his stern face and tone were part of his intended, very poor joke.
Maybe he was speaking for the benefit of a nurse or other staff member who really was stalking him!
I do know what it's like to have that stomach-clench that lasts for years - I have one that goes back to 1987. But it can be really helpful to look again, and imagine a new interpretation. It is for me, anyway.

Junia, I'm so glad you're here. I really enjoyed your introduction post. You gave me a good laugh!!!
Yes, everything above is a possibility.
One day he was making rounds and came into the room of a patient while I was inserting a urinary catheter...he, the Dr. immediately turned around and exited the room, which was appropriate to give the patient privacy, and then I guess he reconsidered and he re entered the room. I then accused him of stalking me!!!! He barked out, "I am not." "I barked out, "It does seem so." I guess we have a hate, hate thing going on now, although I still have a great respect for him. He is a brilliant Dr. I think he may have been having a bad day and took it out on me.
Thank you for helping me arrive at this conclusion as well. It gives me a lot to think about. I think I need to just let it go. The next time I see him in his office, I should just go over to him and give him a full on the mouth kiss. If he's going to accuse me, I might as well get something out of it. He can't have me committed for that. Tee Hee.
