Examination/Inspection by health carer other than a Doctor

Has anyone had an examination or inspection by a care provider other than a doctor, such as a social worker, nurse, health official who was not a doctor etc. for things like adoption/ foster care, school checks or general health checks? These would not have been formalised medicals, but checks or inspections by care providers?

I’ve had exams from NPs. They were usually for a specific problem though so nothing exciting.

Several exams/consults with PA’s. We have had home health care visits and exams by nurses following surgeries while recovering at home. Mainly wound care, medications etc In order to qualify you’re supposed to be house bound and unable or difficult to be seen in the office.

I have had both PA's and NP's see me in my PCP's office. I have also had an NP sent out by Medicare to my home to do an Annual Wellness visit. They have all been quite capable, although I have needed to direct them to do a Prostate/Rectal check when appropriate, as I don't believe the PSA is an appropriate screening test.

I had a few school check ups for scoliosis in high school done by the school nurse. The shirt was taken off and you stood in front of her, then turned around completely, and then bent forward as she checked the line of your spine (from the best of my memory).

I recall scoliosis screening in 6th or 7th grade in the early 1970's conducted by the school health instructor. I've posted about it before....

The whole body skin exam that I had at the dermatologist office a couple of weeks ago was done by the physician's assistant. She was reasonably thorough, examining everything except my genitals. She even spread my cheeks.

I’ve posted before of this experience.

In an ER setting I requested to have my temperature taken rectally. Nurse agreed, left the room briefly and returned with another female. She handed the task to a young woman who looked about 19 or 20. She wore a badge that said “TRAINEE”.

The nurse got my pants and briefs down and then the trainee took my rectal temperature.

I have had physical examinations conducted by NPs, PA's and interns. I am completely okay with it. It is all a matter of competency. My mom is also a RN. She has conducted cursory exams on me from time to time.
