"Fanny please lower your gown and put your right arm above your head" he asked my mom while turning his attention to me. "You see Andy this is very easy. All I do is gently palpate the breasts"

I was looking at my mom. Trying to figure out how she felt judging her facial expressions. She wasn't saying much. Maybe she was withholding how she felt? The doctor started palpating her right armpit and then moving towards her breast. Massaging it very intensely. Was my mom enjoying this?

"Andy this is nothing to worry about. I'm not applying too much pressure. I'm very gentle with my patients. Your mom is not in pain. Right Fanny? Tell Andy what this feels like" Could he tell that I was worried?

"Hm yes it's just like a massage. No big deal" she said. But she was blushing. This was so awkward. How much longer was he going to massage her boobs? I guess she enjoyed it. Was this something she did to herself just like the doctor said? Did my dad know about this? I had so many thoughts.

He then squeezed her nipple and you could tell my mom was trying not to show much emotion but she still let out a small whimper. Finally it was time for her other breast. He proceeded to do the same thing. I tried to look away at one point but he noticed and brought my attention right back "Young lady this is very important I want you to watch and learn. Breast exams are a very important part of a woman's health and well-being. This is something you will be getting as well" I nodded and blushed. "Excellent everything looks good here. You're done Fanny you can put you gown back up and your feet in the stirrups"

"Now Andy do you have any questions for me or for your mom?"

I just shook my head

"I know this is shocking when you see it the first time but I promise you will be ok" he smiled. His green eyes were striking. He was so reassuring even when he was lecturing me. I could understand why my mom and my cousins liked him so much.

"Mommy did this feel awkward or painful?" I asked. The doctor was smiling

"Not at all sweetie. Dr K is very gentle. Even more so than every other doctor I had in the past"

"Andy now I'm going to move on to the next part which is a pelvic examination. This is very important and women need to get it every year"
