Exam forms

I just came across my school's (HS) exam form from the mid 80s as I was cleaning some things out from my parents house.

There is an "Ano-Genital" section where the doctor needed to mark normal or abnormal:

Penis

L Testicle

R Testicle

Labia

Anus

Far cry from "Genitalia (males only)" or nothing at all about those parts

Personally I enjoy reading exam forms to try and get a feel for how extensive the actual exam will be. Can you scan it and post it here? That would be awesome.

My mom had a folder with all my health documents inside, including the letters from my yearly school exams (also in the 80s), in which my mom got all the diagnosis and the order to bring me to the paediatrician and other doctors for further and more intense exams

My first job was in a Life Insurance Company where I was training to become an actuary.

Many people had to undergo a medical before they were accepted for Insurance. For some the examining doctor would recommend that their premium be increased to cover a higher risk. These came to the department I worked in, where we recalculated the premium. The whole file was passed to us including the medical records which included a standard form which the examining doctor would fill in. I looked at these but never fully understood all the comments. But certainly for both males and females, a complete medical was carried out.

Often the examination was carried out by the doctor who examined me, full strip, when I joined the company.

That is awesome. I have some from around the same time period (late 70s thru 80s) that are similarly detailed (including tanner stage, etc. and, like yours, specific about each part of the genital/anal area).I still get get off looking at them all these years later.

Do you have a copy of the form?

Do you have memories of going through those exams?

Im sure that many of us do hav memories of exams like that. In fact they are probably the reason that many of us are here!

I played interscholastic sports from seventh through twelfth grades. There was a physical required either from your own doctor or you could go to the school board and see their doctor. I always went to the same pediatrician and took along the required form. It was the same exact form all six years and included medical history and immunization history along with the examination check list and a statement that the doctor had to check off and sign which said something like "this student is physically able to participate in physical activity including contact sports." The exam was a brief check list with "normal" and "abnormal" columns with a space for "description" next to the "abnormal." There was a line for "genitalia including hernia (males)" but nothing more specific than that. The fact that the form included a genital exam made me aware that I would be exposing my penis and scrotum and gave me anxiety for the days before the exam. After it was done, I would take the form home and look at it while masturbating. If I were crafting a form, I would have separate lines for "penis (include circumcision status," "testes," "Tanner stage," and "anus."

@exam_doc I never got to take home my forms but I did see that they included my Tanner Stage as well as other intimate details. Like you, it both embarrassed and aroused me that that information had been recorded and was available to view on my medical file. Particularly when shortly afterwards I was filling in college and employment applications where I had to give permission for them to access my records if they wanted to.

I never saw such forms at school, however, a questionnaire had to be completed before the medical examination. It was not my parents who did it, it was me, with a typewriter. I think my mother had to sign. There was a line for operations and I always mentioned circumcision on this line, it was the only one I had. She was important to me, although she was not significant for my health.

For military recruitment at age 19, we were given a form at the beginning of the medical visit, so we had to give it to the various physicians so that they could comment on it. There was a box with the title "genital organs", which was a confirmation that they would be examined. I knew that well before seeing this form.

Forms are great. I saw a number of mine and like everyone has said it's arousing to be reminded of what was done to me in the doctor's office. Medical records with narrative physical exam descriptions are even better.

I don't think we kept copies of any forms from my exams. I do remember a couple of letter summarizing exam findings and follow-ups, but it's probably not anything we kept.

I do remember being very fascinated by exam forms that would come home from school or which were mailed home from school.

I've found some good forms online to use in play exams, though ove generally "doctored" them a bit to make sure they include a couple of curveball medical history or lifestyle questions and procedures that might not be typical. The form definitely adds to the anticipation and realism of a play exam.

Me too! My parents saved all of that stuff in a big box with all our medical records and I used to sneak some of the forms and letters out of there just to enjoy reading over them again. The letters to parents prior to big group physicals that would mention clothing were usually my favorite ones.

The letters to parents prior to big group physicals that would mention clothing were usually my favorite ones.

That sounds just like the instruction letters that were sent home before my group sports physicals in H.S. Mine always said that we had to wear our P.E. or practice clothing and they were explicit about what that included, right down to the underwear that they wanted us to wear. As I've posted here before, prior to my first year getting one of those exams, I didn't realize that wearing the requested athletic supporter under my shorts was that important. But when I got to the physical I quickly found out that the boys were immediately stripped down to just our jockstraps and the exams conducted like that. It was a real shock that first year, but I was more prepared for that in subsequent years.

I wish I had a copy of those instructions now as it would be fantastic masturbation material! But the bottom of the instructions was also a permission form that was turned in so I don't.

What did your letters say about clothing?

My experience, probably starting by 7th grade to 12th, a letter and sports physical packet was sent home. The letter was to notify my parents to schedule an appointment with the family doc or giving permission for the school doctor to perform the physical. I remember it stated that “your son” would have to lower his pants for a genital and hernia portion of the exam. So, I knew before the exam one of the schools doctors was going to looking/feeling at my penis and balls. The dress requirement was where the exam would be performed. If in gym : P.E. Uniform or school clothes if you went to the nurses office.

It was the exact same forms every year : a questionnaire, medical and immunization history along with the examination form. The examination form the areas to be checked : with "normal", “abnormal" , comments columns with a space to describe the observation next to each item. Below the “abdomen” line was (Males Only): Genitourinary / Hernia.

My college entrance physical was very similar to the packets I received in H.S.. The only difference added to form: “abdomen “, “femoral pulse”, and then “Genitalia/ Hernia” - Males only. Plus, updating immunization and urine sample.

I don't remember getting to keep the exam forms from schools. Every summer beginning when my brothers and I reached junior high, my parents received a letter from the school that said that physical exams for boys playing sports during the next school year would be held in the school gym later in the summer. I remember the letter because it first came when our older brother went into junior high two years ahead of me. I remember him going off with our dad for one of the sports physicals before I reached junior high. Then when I was about to begin 7th grade, the letter applied to me too. These letters were addressed to parents and didn't mention us boys by name. They were more like a flyer than a letter that announced the requirement for all boys playing junior high sports to have a physical exam on a certain date in July or August before they could started playing sports that fall. They didn't include an exam form or any description of the exam. Really just an announcement of the physical exam requirement and the date and location. Unlike some of you who have commented, there was nothing about what we had to wear or anything like that.

I knew from our older brother that the exams would be in the gym and that I would have to undress to my underpants. I also knew from him that he had to drop his briefs and get checked for a hernia. So I was naturally nervous the first time I had to go with our dad. I had exams at the base clinic before that but not a group exam with other boys before, other than with my brothers. I'm sure that the other new 7th grade boys were nervous too as I remember that we were slower to get undressed in the gym and join a line. We were in the same lines with the 8th grade boys who looked much bigger than we were. The next year when I was an 8th grader, it was still new to us but at least we weren't little 7th grade boys anymore.

The next big change happened in 9th grade when we were about to start high school and now the exams were in the high school gym. We were little freshmen compared to the junior and senior boys. My brother was there as a junior by the time I was a freshman so he was in line with me but so were all of these much bigger boys who were ready to make fun of us little freshman boys. Anyway, as for the exam forms, I remember strips of paper with a checklist on them for each part of the exam that we carried to each exam station. The strip of paper had our name and grade at the top and then a list that each doctor or station checked off as ok. At the end of the exam, we gave that strip of paper to the check out person and then were allowed to get dressed and leave the gym. Today parents might get a copy of the paper but back then those strips of paper went to the coaches to check off our names as having met the physical exam requirement. I guess that if one of us had a problem found during the exam then that kid's parents would be told and the kid might not be able to play sports if the problem was serious enough. I knew one kid with a hernia that was found during one of those exams and he had to have hernia surgery first and sat out that season until it healed before he could play sports again.

I remember well that my parents received a letter from the school at home a few days after the beginning of the year school and a few days before the school examination which was mandatory and took place at school.

We could not go to see a family doctor to have a medical form for school, the authorities of the school did not consider it as valuable so the presence to the schoool examination was required each year.

If we were ill the day of the examination of our class, we were summoned an other day with an other class.

The letter from the school mentioned the day of the examination and the requirement for the student to be present, an agreement from the parents who might sign it and was send after to the school but in fact it was impossible for a parent to refuse that his son was examined by the school doctor because it meaned that he could not go to that school and might change of school.

Nothing was mentioned on the letter about the clothes but we were said by the Pe teacher at the first lesson ( generally the school physical examination took place during the time of a PE lesson and it was the PE teacher who supervised us at the locker room near the nurse office where the examination took place.) how it woould be perfomed, not with details about the examination itself, only about the clothes...

He explained us that half of the class would be examined by alphabetic order that day and the other half an other day and that we might wear a clean brief -(at that time all students were wearing white briefs and pretty all the same kind ) and clean socks ( which was in a certain way useless because we were instructed to remove them like all our clothes except our briefs as soon as we arrived at the locker room but may be it was to avoid bad smells or smells of swear in the room ) and that we might come after washing seriously all the parts of our bodies on the morning of that day ( at that time there was a bathing room in very few families, so for most of us it meaned that we might wash our body in the kitchen with a bin normally after 12 age, the mothers left their sons wash themselves without help but it could certainly be different in a few families where the mothers did not trust enough their sons to be clean if they were not supervised and subsequently still washed themselves their sons, at least until may be 14 age).

The day before the examination, a school supervisor came in the class during a lesson to recall us these instructions about clothes and cleanliness.

So the first time it was a little impressive and we were nervous on that day.

Our parents were not asked to fill a medical form before the examination and to ask to questions about our health or our way of life but we might come with our vaccination record.

Nothing was said about genitalia or hernia exams, we discovede how they were performed by the school doctor on the day of examination, nor how much we might be undressed ( which was depending on school doctors or even PE teachers since he was the first to instruct us to undress a the locker room but we guessed that like in primary school we had to undress at least in briefs)

It was pretty the same in high school than in grammar school but we knew more what to expect on the day of examination.

After the examination, normally the medical form was kept at school, it was only if the school doctor had found during the examination a serious issue ( like requirements to wear glasses, or to check the hearing or some heart issues or skin issues or spin curvatures which required remedial gymnastics outside of school) that a letter of the school was send at home to parents.

The letters were always send to parents never to boy's students.

In most of the families, only the mothers did care about all the procedure and read the first letter, the father seemed not to be concerned except I presume for the second leter if thre was a serious issue for the health of their son.

I have finally scanned the form,, how di I attach a pdf??

The most frightening part of the exam form for me was the section "vaccinations". I wasn't afraid of the shots so much as where I would get them.

Bignate, I believe you can upload it as a image file in the files/gallery section?

Can't add pdfs to the gallery....

Upload it to google drive or mega and post the link

What is it about the form that engenders curiosity and for me nervous anticipation of what is likely to come? It has made me feel overwhelmed, especially when seeing a new health provider, or something that I simply avoid looking at. I have also seen the form attached to my chart as I enter the room, which makes my heart race. I have had the experience of the doctor checking every item on a form or skipping other parts to my relief. The form seems to be so impersonal and standard for the doctor to reference. Yes the vaccination section remains troubling! I think that it just all adds to making me feel vulnerable and anticipating the procedures and process that will unfold as soon as I have undressed and await the doctor or nurse assistant. Either way, something is to happen and all of me is displayed.

I had to fill out a form with my parents and bring it to the exam.

Same as tigersinzoo.I have to bring one home.I don't even know what they ask from parents.

Interesting, how did the military exam go?

Also, if anyone has old forms, post them here😁 i have found exam forms of US colleges and they are really interesting. Sadly its not the same in my country...

Interesting, how did the military exam go?

@ekgbob20 Thanks for your interest. This is a description of the military exam (translated with Google):

It was in 1977 at the age of 19. I had already heard about this medical exam and I was not surprised. I was especially apprehensive about the examination of the genitals.

In the morning, the conscripts who had a medical certificate went straight to the doctor. The others did sports tests, followed by a collective shower.

After lunch in a nearby restaurant (spaghetti bolognese), we had the medical examination. We had to undress and keep only our underwear. I had the confirmation from the beginning that I would have to lower them because we had received a form where the doctor would note the results. There was a box titled "Genitals". A doctor first examined us in groups of four or five. He asked us to spread our legs, he also checked our backs. I had a slight scoliosis and he marked the deviation directly on my back with a felt-tip pen!

We then had to go alone to another room. There were two doctors sitting and the third standing. When we entered, we had to announce our name and profession. First remark, I had not spoken loud enough. One doctor was very aggressive, because I had had bad sports results that morning. I was weighed, measured and then had a visual acuity test by the standing doctor (and a compliment, because I had 100%). Maybe also a hearing test. I don't think I had any other tests, apart from the ritual inguinal check. The doctor put on gloves and asked me to lower my underwear, it was quite quick, no groping of the penis or testicles, nor anal examination. At the end, there was still a blood test to determine the blood group.

Then the doctors discussed my scoliosis and didn't find it very serious. So I was declared fit for service.

@Woyzeck Nice. I have read that singapore has a very extensive conscription checkup, including EKG, fat measurement, body and foot scans. Any singaporean here to confirm?
