Doctors, patients, where did you play?

It is all about the mind set. We have a realistic exam room. When you play as much as we did in the past (I have rectal cancer now), you had to change the scenario. Sometimes we would re-arrange our exam room. Other times, we would change from heel stirrups to knee supports or to candy cane supports (photos in my album). When first started playing many years ago, we used our bedroom but it was hard to get into the scenario when you see your kids pictures on the wall. We would play the doctor making a house call it worked for a little bit. Yea, you have no stirrups so you did what they did long time ago, use knee to chest position for speculum exam. You never going to changed your bedroom into an exam room so you have change the scenario into doctor making house call. The hotel scenario is nice because as some said in previous posts that it gives excitement that it is strange location. But honestly, the hotel room is not going to look like an exam room without moving large amounts of equipment in. But, you can change the scenario that the hotel room is cabin on a cruise ship and you are getting a visit from the ship’s doctor. But him husband did feel awkward standing outside the hotel door with his black doctor’s bag and white coat so suite would be much nicer.

Now having said all of this for the people want to try to make the hotel room more “medical” first spray so alcohol in the air to give it that antiseptic smell. Bring white sheets to cover up some of the hotel furnishings. If you are high up that no one from the outside cannot see in the open the curtains on the windows to let all the light in and turn on all the lights on. Exam rooms have bright lights. Bring a portable massage table and make some stirrips that clamp to table legs. We made some that clamp to the table legs(I am not sure if the photo is in my album if not I will post it) Use white towels on the dresser to lay out all your equipment. Use stainless steel instruments because they shine in the light. Learn the proper medical jargon and proper medical procedures. Don’t say that I am going to looking into your ears with the ear thingy. Use the word otoscope. Have fun!

At home, love hotels or hotels rooms

Has anyone used an Airbnb ? How is it compared to hotels?

Hotels work for me, I don't have a home set-up. I just check that there's a desk and a sofa before I book anything.

I'm a patient and in my experiences I play in Doctors house in a room used as an exam room and in a hotel in a room with a table used like an exam table. I prefer the Doctors house because they usually recreate with several details an examination room and obviously the Doctor is comfortable in conducting the exam because he knows perfectly the ambient. Obviously you need to trust your Doctor otherwise it's better to play in hotel that is a public place.
