Portable set up

What do you guys like as a portable set up for exams? How about for play in hotel rooms ?

A few weeks ago I finally had a real play exam in a hotel. I felt out of place as I couldn't really arrange the room the way an exam room would feel and consequently, I was disappointed in myself. The patient was someone who deserved better.

Hotel rooms work ok if you get an extended stay with kit as it gives counter space to set up stuff. If you are lucky to have a massage table it's cool. But I have had exams as patient in a hotel and they use a desk to put out equipment.

I have massage table and some small equipment and ready as a patient

I use a massage table and 6 large bins that I move around for hotel play. I also have two arm/leg supports for tattooing that I use for leg holders. The table has movable armboards that come off.

It works for my needs and my patients don't seem to complain!

I have a portable massage table that I use for hotel play exams. I like how I can disinfect it and attach some exam table paper to it. I also like my female patients to have the option of choosing between a relaxing massage, medical exam, or both. I also like to make sure I bring along a backup stethoscope, disposable patient gowns, extra water bottles and snacks to share, and have access to a few clean towels.

I usually end up using the hotel bed. Putting down two hospital chucks along the foot of the bed (assuming its a King) and then a pillow at one side. Seems to work well - comfortable for the patient and I can get good access from the foot of the bed. Only challenge is getting good reflexes, because the bed is usually too short to have their legs handing correctly for reflexes.

In using a motel room i like to arrive around thirty minutes before the patient. This gives me time to assess the room and prepare accordingly. I used to own a massage bench (no more) but the bed can be used ok. I put a soft white towel on the bed to avoid any staining of the top sheet. Instruments are arranged on the dressing table and i find that two chairs work well if the patient scoops down to the edge of the bed and then places a flat foot on each chair which are placed at an appropiate distance apart. Its a good substitute for stirrups.
