They met and he gave her the results of her blood test and a pair of earrings. The blood tests were entirely normal, the HDC report said.
Over a period of five to six weeks, Dr B sent Ms A about 50 texts, telling her she had "gotten under [his] skin" and that he was "overwhelmingly attracted" to her.
Ms A reminded him that he was her doctor and repeatedly indicated that his behaviour was unprofessional and difficult for her to deal with, the report said.
When she suggested she change doctors, he discouraged her. Soon after, she did change her doctor.
The HDC report said it was clinically inappropriate for Dr B to have given the patient his personal mobile number and he had failed to provide care with reasonable care and skill, a breach of the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers' Rights.
The HDC noted that Dr B had provided a written apology to be forwarded to Ms A and it recommended he remain in a mentoring relationship with two senior GPs.
He was also to be referred to the Director of Proceedings to determine whether any proceedings should be taken and the Medical Council would be asked to consider a review of his competence.
