Has anybody seen the Exam form after the doctor filled it out?

Anyone have experiences of looking at the exam form after the doctor filled it out? Nowadays it is on a computer so it is all electronic, but back in the 90's everything was hand written.

I've read couple of instances from others where the doctor made detailed comments on the genitalia section, such as whether erection happened or not. I have a hard time believing that part, but I did have a doctor note that I was uncircumcised on the genitalia section one time for the fall sports physical exam.

Since I had to turn it in to admin office, it was embarrassing as anyone could see it and see if i was circumcised or not.

I've read a few Zity people talk about an exam form. Honestly it's got me thinking that maybe there are exam forms at my pediatrician's office of my teen exams?... omg I would love to see those!

We were provided copies of everything related to annual employment physicals that was sent to our company medical review unit. They were generally very generic and free of graphic and embarrassing comments but always a source of worry since our livelihood was at stake on an annual basis.

I used to work where I’d occasionally have to review medical reports. Typically for GU portion if an under 18 would just say tanner stage but if male would occasionally mention circumcision status. If over 18 it didn’t say much for that part.

I've read the forms from per-participation physicals for employment and summer activity camps and most of the time it's pretty simple normal for GU, hernia.

The detailed notes for notes from later exams such as the urologist really were an eye opener. Description of the phallus circumcised or not, meatus with or without stenosis, or lesions on the scrotal skin. Description of the testicles, and size of the prostate and tone of the anal sphincter. Probably would have added whether or not erection was present if it was an area of concern I had brought up.

I usually looked at the one from my school sports physicals because we had to have parents sign it afterward.

I have seen a physical exam form because at one pediatrician they would hand me my file and then have me put it in the slot outside the door. One day I opened the file and my recent physical had a section on "genital examination". It stated my step mother was present along with the nurse and it said uncircumcised penis, no lesions, no signs of STDs, and etc and then at the bottom it stated "patient had rigid erection throughout genital exam" and then signed by the female pediatrician. It was totally embarrassing.

The form my pediatrician’s office used had boxes for circumcised/uncircumcised and tanner stage. I understand why those are noted from a medical perspective. But it intrigues me why that was indicated on the exam form that was sent out to the school.

I understand tanner stage to a certain extent, especially for sports. New York State at one time (and perhaps still) required the tanner stage assessment for any child, male or female, wanting to play at a higher level than their grade normally permitted. Such as an 8th grader on JV, or a freshman or sophomore on varsity. I think it was/is a safety concern, especially in contact sports.

I cannot think of a reason why circumcised or uncircumcised would need to be indicated on the form going to the school. If there’s an issue for a boy with a foreskin at school, it’s well above a school nurses pay grade to address.

The last time I was at the urologists, we had a disagreement on a procedure he wanted me to have. He was quite overbearing and told me that not having the procedure was my perogative, but if I didn't have it he wouldnt continue to be my urologist. So I got up and left, when I stopped at the desk the nurse started scedualing me for the procedure and I stopped her and explained what had transpired, then she asked me if I wanted a copy of my records, which I took with me. That doctor always spent more time typing on his laptop. Than examining me. Today it's all about the almighty dollar!

I saw a sports physical form once, but it was just check marks in boxes.

I played intrascholastic sports from 7th through 12th grades. Every year, participants were given physical exam forms to have our doctors complete. We would receive the forms from our doctors and return them to the school. The exam included health and immunization sections, which the students or parents would complete, and then the exam section for the doctors to complete. The exam section was a checklist of organs and body parts and columns for “normal,” “abnormal,” and “details” columns corresponding to each body part. It was always intimidating to see that the blank form included “genitalia/hernia (males only).” I always found it exciting to read the completed form, even though it was just a series of check marks and the doctor’s signature. I always wished, but it never happened, that my doctor would have written in “circumcised” on the “genital/hernia(males only” line. I would always masturbate after the exam while looking at the completed form.

@dahardy9 I completely agree with you that the student’s circumcision status is not only unnecessary but is inappropriate on this form. Circumcision is an aesthetic, social, cultural practice that has no connection to a student’s health status.

I get an after-visit summary, but it's usually sparse on information.

Can't remember getting or seeing any paper forms in the past
