Once Tyler was ready, he re-entered the exam room to see Dr Shaw filling out his paperwork at her desk. Noah perched on the stool beside her, reading off some numbers. “Oh Tyler,” Dr Shaw said as she noticed him come back in. “Was that ok? No pain?” Tyler closed the bathroom door behind him, shaking his head. He couldn’t say it was ok, but in fact had not been painful. Noah helped him back to the exam table, carefully manoeuvring the tube coming from his penis. “Let’s have you up on your knees and down on your elbows, like last time.”

Tyler silently obeyed the doctor’s orders, having Noah further his humiliation by pushing his chest flat onto the table, making his back arch. The tube felt like it was tugging his penis downward, hanging between his legs. Noah placed a hand on Tylers shoulder. Tyler wasn’t sure if this was to comfort him, or to stop him from jumping up and running out of the room. In this position, he couldn’t see the doctor standing behind him, and jumped slightly when she placed a hand on his thigh.

“Ready Tyler?” He paused for a moment, wondering if ‘no’ was an option. Knowing it wasn’t, he resigned himself. “Yes Dr Shaw.” His voice cracked as spoke, it wasn’t enough for him to be in this position but he also needed to invite the finger inside him. He felt the familiar cold lubricant being spread around in small circles. The tip of the doctors finger paused directly on his tense anus.

“Bear down like you’re going to the bathroom now Tyler.” Feeling a slight push on her fingertip, Dr Shaw slowly advanced into Tyler’s rectum as deeply as possible. Her free hand held his hip. His sphincter tightened around her finger, but once inside she gently palpated the walls, turning systematically so that no corner was missed. “A quick prostate check now Tyler, try and relax your muscles if you can.” Once the gloved finger made contact with his gland Tyler jerked slightly, making the doctor pause. “Does that hurt Tyler?” Tyler curled his toes. “No… No doctor it’s not painful.” The hand on hip gave a slightly tighter grip as the internal finger rubbed across his prostate.

The doctor withdrew her finger, and Tyler tried to lift his chest from the table. Noah’s firm hand pushed his shoulder back down, assuring him “You’re nearly done Tyler. Just hang on another minute.” Tyler’s heart raced. What did he mean nearly? What was going to happen in another minute? “Tyler,” it was the doctor speaking this time, who he still couldn’t see. “I’m going to take a look inside using an anoscope, it will just take a moment.” Before Tyler could process what those words meant, the doctor firmly and slowly inserted something thick and plastic. It was much thicker than the doctors finger, and was continuously moved about to give the doctor a complete view. To Tyler, it felt like much longer than a minute before it was removed.

Tyler breathed a sigh of relief as Noah lay him on his back again. He had a moment to breathe as hands were washed and gloves were changed. “That is the examination finished Tyler.” The doctor confirmed. Tyler beamed. “We’ll just get you your vaccinations and remove the catheter.” Tyler’s smile disappeared. He had forgotten he couldn’t be finished, that would be too easy.

Working on his catheter first, the doctor drained the balloon holding it in as Noah labelled the urine sample for the lab. Tyler had almost gotten used to the pressure in his bladder, feeling it to down was strange. The tube burned as it was pulled out, making Tyler suck in a sharp breath, but it was over quickly. Dr Shaw gently rubbed the tip with a tissue before ordering Tyler onto his stomach again. Noah brought a tray with various syringes and needles, and started to prepare them as Dr Shaw spoke to Tyler.

“Flu and Tetanus today Tyler. We’ll start with flu.” The doctor wiped his left cheek with alcohol. She used two fingers to hold the muscles still before quickly jabbing the needle in. Tyler jumped, but it wasn’t too painful, just unexpected. It was over quickly too, actually easier than a rectal exam. Dr Shaw moved to the other side of the bed, sterilising Tyler’s other cheek. Tyler looked back and saw a much bigger needle approaching, and clenched his muscles just as the skin was pierced. The needle went in regardless, deeper and thicker than the previous, and the pain exacerbated by the tense muscle. He could feel the liquid being injected in this time, a burning sensation deep in his muscle.

The doctor pulled out the needle and applied pressure through a cotton ball, gently massaging. This made the burning sensation spread through his butt cheek. Bandaids were placed to cover each injection site. “Oh I nearly forgot!” Noah exclaimed. He parted Tyler’s cheeks and wiped the excess lubricant from his anus, making Tyler’s face burn with embarrassment. Noah patted his painful right cheek while saying “You can get on up and get dressed now.”

Tyler gratefully climbed down from the examination table, putting on his clothes as quickly as possible. Every part of him felt strange, his penis from the catheter, his rectum from the scope, his but cheeks from the injections, even his throat from being swabbed earlier. Noah left as he was getting dressed, leaving Dr Shaw filling out the paperwork behind her desk. “Come and have a seat Tyler.” He sat in front of her. “I just want to double check everything has been filled out properly before I give these back to you, we wouldn’t want to have to bring you back for another appointment!” Tyler certainly didn’t want that. He watched the doctor flip through the pages, before putting a single signature at the bottom of the last page. He thankfully hurried out, clutching the papers.

Once home, Tyler showered and changed his clothes, trying to feel like normal again. But even as he went to bed that night, he still squirmed, feeling like a finger was in his rectum all over again.
