Have a medical student examen you?

Is it anyone with a great memory of a medical student, or a nursing student examinated you?

Was it on a doctor office, or at your or at their home?

I want to hear it in detail, what happend, how did this make you feel?

I've allowed students to observe an exam twice. It was honestly a total non-event both times. I don't think either of them even "looked below", much less touched me in any way.

I think it was awkward for me because I was really expecting more from the experience. Like, detailed instructions or descriptions from the doctor. A chance (or offer) for the med student to practice some part of the exam. None of that occurred. In the one instance the student looked miserable and more uncomfortable than I did which is really saying a lot because it was a pretty uncomfortable exam from my end of things.

Yes, a female student doctor once examined me, head to toe. On another occasion a female student doctor performed a DRE on me. She was under the watchful eye of a urologist. And a third took my RT.

These were in medical settings. These examinations by these females caused me no angst.

I only wish the first one who did a head to toe physical exam had taken my rectal temperature but she didn’t.

Another event was when a young woman in the ER dept who was not a nurse, was allowed by the RN there to oblige my request to have my temperate taken rectally, and with the RN there, this young woman whose badge read “Trainee” was soon putting a glass mercury thermometer up my behind, taking my temperature. Never did find out her “TRAINEE” status. I’m guessing a medical technician of some kind. And whether her duties under the supervision of the RN there, was to take rectal temperatures I don’t know, but she certainly took mine.,

When I went to the urologist to be evaluated for penile cancer surgery, he had a female student with him, he asked if it were OK for her to take part in the exam, I replied, I have no problem with that. They both looked over the lesion, retracted my foreskin, which was a bit unpleasant for someone else to do, and then rendered his opinion.

It was a teaching hospital and my doctor was the head of the department and a professor. After surgery, I only saw Residents. The nurse on duty took care of all my needs and discharge instructions. I have to say the young nurses by far were the backbone of the hospital. They were outstanding!!
