Online Exam experience

Have you ever had an online exam before and what were they like. Who do you prefer/ get examined by male or female

Thanks for making this thread Bwil22. AS a MedFet Dr. I have done a few online exams and to me, they are not as exciting as real life (F2F) exams. I miss the expression, the nervous tension in the room, the surprised look of my patient when he is told to do something - and a thousand other things. If someone is having a more successful online experience, please share it here as I would love to learn how to overcome these basic triggers for me.

I'm limited to online exams only because I can't find anyone near me for a f2f

Face-to-face exams are much more satisfying for both patient and doctor. The resposes are immediate and procedures can be amended to give the most sensual pleasure , if that is the primary aim. Online can work very well but only if the doctor is knowlegeable and articulate and takes some effort to really understand what floats that individual's boat. I personally find text based exams tedious and avoid being involved with them.

During the hard lockdown we had a few on-line “consultations”. Doc asked if we had our current weight and BP, reviewed our meds, asked if we had any issues.changes we wanted to discuss. She wrote an order to have blood work done but said it wasn't critical if we didn't want to go in at this time. Not a whole lot different - or less - than the current in person Medicare “wellness checks” . I suspect if there were reason to be concerned she would have asked for us to schedule an in clinic appointment.

I prefer to be examined by a female. I like to have to start the exam in my underwear but have to remove them part way through and complete the rest of the exam completely naked.

I only do online exams and they can be really good! I prefer a male doctor who does thorough gyn and rectal exams.

Tried it. It was tedious and boring. I guess when you do live play exams nothing else measures up. Maybe, trying it with FaceTime might be okay.

Agree with @medfedcouple, tedious and boring.

We need to touch and to be touched.

@annecobain, exactly. We need to touched and be touched. Even in real trips to the doctor, they don’t even touch us anymore. It is all about lab and scans.

We need to feel the

Had several with cam, not as good as face to face but can be fun with the right person

I like online with cam, text exams are ok but face to face is better

I’ve been asked to do a couple. The only time I think it is useful is if it is a follow up after an in person exam.

I enjoy online exams. I have given and taken many on here at Zity.. Doors have opened because of it.

I can see how you can have on-line consultations with medics but on-line exams sounds a bit silly!!!

In person exams are the best. I can't imagine a realistic on line exam. I want a lovely lady doing my exam. I want to be nude for the entire exam. I want to feel her examine me, as others have said be touched. A complete exam will include a rectal temperature, hernia check, a prostate check, urine test, a couple of enemas and then a rectal exam. I also like to be catheterized during a complete exam. And the exam should conclude with at least two painful shots in the butt. Sometimes an exam will start with a couple of shots in the butt saying I am behind on my vaccinations and these are done first. None of this is possible during an on-line exam.

Never had an online exam although I don’t think I would or could do online exam. I wouldn’t be able to take it seriously. In person is much more satisfying

A agree.

Online is just plain boring.

In person is alot more fun.

Mostly.
