A New Patient Exam

Part 3

The curtain swung open as Doctor Zimmerman Spoke; “So you’re the husband I hear all about!!”

Carl looked at this middle aged women, as he sat in his low rise Calvin Klein briefs. She was about 55 or so. She had curly red hair, that had slightly begun to grey in areas. She wore glasses on her attractive middle aged face, that had great bone structure. She was slim and about 5’ 9”. She was wearing a form fitting skirt that went down past her knees, and high healed, zip up, leather boots. On top she wore a furry mo-hair sweater, and to top it off was a long, white, lab coat, that had Dr. Zimmerman written in cursive on the breast area. Carl thought, she must have been pretty good long, back in her day.

“I’m Connie Zimmerman” said the dr. to carl, extending her hand.

“Carl Merrin” he replied, shaking her hand. He noticed he introduced himself in the same tone and way he would any colleague or acquaintance, except he was nearly naked, and she was fully clothed.

“Your wife has been telling me all about you since before you guys had kids.”

Carl nodded in response.

“So Congratulations, you made it to 40. And I’m glad you were finally convinced to come see me. I don’t bite. I promise”

The childish way that the women spoke to Carl, made him feel all the more anxious. Like he was a kid again and a teacher was scolding him for not doing his homework.

Dr. Zimmerman continued; “I saw your family history, and nothing looks too out of the ordinary”

“No cancer? Heart disease? High Blood pressure?”. Carl nodded no to all.

“Mom and dad still alive?”

“yes” Carl sheepishly replied

“Now for you… I know you haven’t been to a doctor in a long long time, so I know you don’t have much of a medical history, but let’s get some going today” said the doctor. “how’s your diet?”

“Not bad, I try to eat well, when I can”

“Exercise?”

“Yes usually a few times a week, when I’m not traveling for work”

“I’ve heard your very busy, which brings me to… Stress. How’s yours?”

Carl thought a minute about all the times he wanted to pull his hair out at work, and when the kids wouldn’t leave him alone while he was on a conference call. Then he responded “Not bad, but sometimes I get a little overwhelmed with things”.

“Who doesn’t” she replied “we are going to do an EKG today, and if it shows us anything wonky, we’ll schedule a stress test” she said

Carl nodded. He was sure what either of those things were.

“Any problem with your penis or testicles? Trouble urinating?” she asked

The question made Carl blush “N N N No” he stammered back.

“You wake up at night a lot to pee?” she continued

“Sometimes”

“hmmm” Dr Zimmerman nodded, and made a note.

“Bowel movements, all regular, no troubles”

“No”

He had never had anyone ask all these personal questions. Talking about going to the bathroom, being regular, penis, testicles. Carl was so embarrassed about the questions he almost forgot that he was sitting there in his underwear. Then he caught a glimpse of himself again in the mirror, and the full force of the exposure to this woman, he had met not 10 minutes ago, struck him like a wave.

The doctor then went on; ”Ok… So I know this is a lot for you, and really I am proud of you that you came in today. I promised your wife that I would do complete physical on you, head to toe”

As she spoke the door opened again. It was Nurse Meghan. She was pushing a cart, with a computer like thing on it. While the door was open, the entire nurse center station had a view of the Dr.’s back, and Carl sitting in his underwear being told he was about to be put under the microscope. The nurse shut the door, but the damage was done.

“Good, you’re here” Dr. Zimmerman said, turning to nurse Meghan. “I’ve gone over all of Carl’s history, you got urine already?”

“Yes, Nancy should have analyzed it by now.” Nurse Meghan replied.

Doctor Zimmerman then turned back towards her patient and spoke “Meghan is going to do your EKG, I will be back shortly and we can do your physical” the word physical rung in the air as the doctor left the room.

“Please lay back for me” the nurse said.
