Had a doctor approach me during my shift that caught me off guard…

So yesterday while I was at work I was just walking up the hall going back to the med room when a doctor basically came running after me. Tbh I didn’t notice at first because I was kind of in the zone/work flow state…iykyk. Anyway he kind of pulled me aside and got really in my personal space. Started to talk about a patient that wasent really mine and then quickly shifted the convo to his business. Basically a trial for a new weight loss drug and wants me to be a test subject??? I kinda was just beside myself. I told him thanks but no thanks and that I am currently on tirzepatide. I am not a huge girl but deff not a skinny one. I’m what they classify as “thic” but tbh I’ve always been curvy. Just my natural build. He asked again and he could “really help me” and at that point it made me uncomfortable and told him I’d let him know and then I proceeded to take off. I don’t know this doctor personally and don’t have any type of rapport with him. I don’t know whether I should be offended or what. But basically is he even allowed to do that? Approach me on the clock like that? Also I’ve been really trying to build my self confidence and have been feeling better in my skin. I know this sounds weak af but it kind of brought me down. Need some advice on this.
