John's Physical Exam
Chapter 2 - Exam
The doctor finally comes in wearing a lab coat and she has long blond hair. She warmly greats me introducing herself as Dr. Pond.
I shake her hand and tell her that I am John Ristar and this is my wife here with me Jena Ristar.
She has me go on the scale and she adjusts the weights to measure my weight. Then she has me stand on the scale facing the other direction up against the height measuring part to get my height. She records the numbers into the computer.
She tells me, “You have a very healthy BMI Patient John.”
Next she pulls up a list of questions on the computer and asks me lots of questions about my family medical history, medication, past injuries, past psychological trauma and many more physical and psychological questions. It includes questions about how well I eat, exercise and go to the bathroom. A few questions ask how often I masturbate, have sex and ability to orgasm. Those ones I find shocking but never the less I answer them as best as I can.
The questioner also asks me about hospitalizations so I have to bring up my recent hospitalization in there psychiatric facility.
She then does some eye tests so she has me stand on a line on the floor and read an eye chart in back of the door. She says I have perfect 20/20 vision.
She has me sit down and she takes out a pen telling me to focus on the tip so she can check my eye tracking.
“Good” she says indicating that I passed.
The next visual test is her taking her hands and putting them behind my field of view and bringing them forward asking me when I can see them. Again she indicates that I passed this test with flying colors.
The last eye test she looks into my eyes with a flashlight as she asks me to stare at her nose. She simply comments “good” to indicate it looks good.
The next part of the test she takes an instrument to look in my ears. She informs me that there isn’t too much wax build up so that is good. She uses it to look in my nostrils also having me temporarily hold my breath and comments, “Good.” Next she looks in my throat even pulling my lips down to examine my teeth then has me say “Aah!” as she checks my throat.
At this point she comments to me, “Everything looks good so far.”
She then explains, “Now I’m going to feel your sinuses. Let me know if you have any pain with this.” She palpitates my face and exclaims, “All good.”
She then tells me she is going to feel my lymph nodes and again asks me to let her know if there is any pain. She palpitates the sides of my head neck then my arm pits. But she then tells me that she has to check my groin.
“Why my groin?” I ask surprised
“It’s important that I properly examine your lymph node system.” She explains
“OK doctor” I respond.
So she puts her hand under the hospital gown and palpitates my groin area.
“No problems I can see with your Lymphatic system.”
“Oh good” Is all I can say.
Finally it’s time for the lung exam and she takes out her stethoscope.
She listens to all 4 of quadrants of my heart and tells me, “Sounds good”.
Next she asks me to lay down and she listens to my abdomen through the hospital gown moving her stethoscope onto all four quadrants. She tells me my digestive systems sounds healthy.
After this she palpitates all over my abdomen through the hospital gown. After which she feels my kidneys with her hands on the sides of my abdomen one on my abdomen and the other hand behind my back, pressing together.
Next she asks me to stand up and she tells me she has to check me for an inner groin hernia so she will have to feel my groin.
“OK” I respond.
She places her hand under the hospital gown pressing it against the inside of my legs joint. She then instructs me to turn my head and cough. She comments, “No sign of a hernia.”
She then asks me to lie down again so she can check my range of motion.
I lay down and she has me lift my knees to my chest and bring them back down. I feel a little funny because I’m wondering how exposed my butt is since I don’t have any underwear under the hospital gown. It’s a little embarrassing. She next has me spread my legs apart and cross them over each other. Then I have to do the whole thing over with her using her hands to resist my movements. I think to myself that I want my underwear but refrain from asking her. I don’t want to give her a hard time.
I then tell myself, “She’s a doctor. This shouldn’t be a big deal for me to be exposed in front of her.” But it still feels a little uncomfortable.
Just then my wife comments with a laugh, “I could see your butt.”
“Why do you have to make this worse? She’s a doctor. And how could you know what I was thinking.”
“I could see you blush. I just love teasing you.”
“Wait till it’s your turn.”
“You get so embarrassed. It’s funny.”
“You never get embarrassed.”
“That’s why I think it’s so funny.”
The doctor interjects, “Nothing I haven’t seen. I’ve seen so much of the human anatomy, and plenty of doctors have seen all there is to see of mine.”
I comment by saying, “Well there are actually some people who feel embarrassed from being exposed.”
I guess the doctor isn’t fazed by nudity either. I’m sure they would do just fine in a nudist colony.
The doctor then instructs me, “OK let’s sit up now. Now your butt won’t be exposed.”
Jena starts laughing.
I look at her and say, “You’re really finding this quite amusing aren’t you?”
“Yep”
The doctor instructs me to lift my arms to the sky then back down, then cross them in front, then bring them back. Then she has me cross them in front while she holds them and has me resist her pushing them.
She then checks my reflexes by taking my arm out tapping the elbow with a reflex hammer and then the opposite side of the joint. Both times I feel a small twitch of my arm. She repeats this with my other arm. Then she taps my knees and my legs jump out.
She then tells me, “Alright that is all the tests. You passed everything except for the lab work which we will have to wait on the results for. You are a very healthy patient. Do you have any other questions or concerns?”
“I think you covered everything.” I say.
Lastly I shake her hand and thank her.
