Just wanted to second what Seldom said. I'd be mighty peeved, too. I would definitely wonder if this was a way to say goodbye. I would also wonder if it were a statement of helplessness on his part.
Either way, I think at that moment he was not in control of his countertransference. This is negligent. No wonder he managed to push it out of his mind -- it is shameful to fail to control one's responses to a client. Who, after all, is paying for a service that includes not giving up on them (which is a form of abandonment).
