The patient, a man in his late 60s, persisted even after the therapist ended the session, stating he'd had a dream about her. "He goes, 'But can you stretch me? Like, you know it always feels good when you do that,'" the therapist recounted in a video that has since gone viral. The therapist expressed her frustration at having to maintain professionalism despite the uncomfortable situation. The incident highlights the challenges healthcare workers face in dealing with unprofessional and inappropriate behavior. Experts suggest that clear boundaries and reporting mechanisms are essential to address such issues and create a safer work environment for healthcare professionals.
