I remember this fondly because he seemed genuinely happy to see me out in public.
I imagine it must be really hard to see him in that setting though. I'd probably feel the same way.

I agree it's odd he wouldn't acknowledge a former client in the clinic setting. When I was seeing ex-T and ex-MC at the same office, they'd acknowledge me if they saw me in the waiting room while I was there to see the other (or the p-doc I saw there for a while). And ex-T said hi to me there once even after I stopped seeing her. Also, R has said hi to me in the waiting room when I've been there to see Dr. T.
Dr. T has said that he won't initiate contact with a client if he sees them in public, for privacy reasons, but if they say hi or wave to him, he'll say hi back.
That does sound nice, your experience with seeing P in public, NP.
