I think it's called "transference".  Doctor can answer that.

It is not uncommon to have these kind of thoughts to someone who is truly helping you.  If this is a psychiatrist or psychologist, it will be important to reveal and discuss this with him.  If it is a general doctor, be careful, because they are not trained to understand these kind of feelings.
