Just a Drape?

Has anyone ever had a physical wearing nothing but a sheet draping your lap?

The only one I've had was by a middle age male doc many years ago

That's how I do my yearly dermatology full body exam. She moves the drape around when needed. I do stand up so she can look at my back side and I'll just hold the drape to the side.

Wearing just a drape makes so much sense for a dermatology exam. It is a full body skin check. My kudos to your dermatologist.

I had just a drape only once for an appointment with a rectal specialist. My dermatologist asks me to keep underwear on.

Yearly dermatology full body exam just a drape over the lap

The only time I can recall being nude with just a sheet was for STD testing many years ago when the doctor or nurse had to actually swab the urethra. It was after I graduated from college so it was probably a local clinic or outpatient office, and I remember the nurse telling me to take everything off and put the sheet over my lap. I would then have to stand up and the doctor or nurse practitioner would insert the swab which was very uncomfortable. Fortunately now they just need a urine sample.

I used to have a GP that always had just a drape, a few times I was like why bother he got to a certain point and just threw on floor. I have had to also for the urologist, strip from waist down before biopsy or ultrasound.

I had a previous doctor who examined me like this. They were always rather quick exams but always finished with the drape being pulled down my legs and my testicles being examined.

Every time I go to my urologist, I am completely naked, during the physical examination my intimate part, the genitals, are covered with a white cloth.

RN here. It seems a thin cloth gown, open in front or back, is pretty universal in Illinois.

I have had a few with the drape years ago. Now it is gown and underwear that get dropped at the end. Between leaving the Navy and starting my outside PCP a couple years ago, it could be drape, gown, or, usually, strip as you go. For the most part, I saw residents at the VA for many years, so the procedure was not consistent.

I went for my colonoscopy yesterday at 1:00 pm. After checking in was interviewed by an older woman, who said she was the intake nurse, and asked me a series of questions, largely about my response to the prep. The prep was fine and did it's job. She then passed me onto to Stephanie who was to be my nurse. She took me back to a large room with patients lying on beds either waiting for a procedure or recovering with drapes pulled for individual privacy. She took me to a bed and said, "Here's a bag for your belongings. You are to undress, leave on your socks, and put on the gown. It opens in the back and lay down but don't tie the gown. She left, pulled the drape securely and I got naked. I felt a bit anxious but was ready to go forward. She returned to take my vitals which was my bp and a scanned forehead for temp. Then inserted an IV in my right arm and wished me well.

Another nurse arrived, lisa, who said she was to be present in the procedure room as my nurse. She soon wheeled me into the room where upon me my doc, the anesthesiologist and another nurse. Some small talk followed before I was instructed to turn onto my side while still covered and put under. Some 20 minutes later I was back in the large room waking up. Yet another nurse greeted me, Mary, who asked how I was feeling and then told me to walk over to a chair across from the bed. I did so, my rear exposed, sat down and was given refreshments. She then left, allowed me to dress, and soon escorted me out.

I got home and well all I could think about was how multiple individuals saw my naked bottom. I don't think my sack was viewed given how I was instructed to position myself. Still, when undressing and dressing, the idea of being naked made me need to release.

The 1st employee physical i had with a nurse practitioner.

At my annual employee physicals, I started out in the late 80's in just my underwear. Somewhere in the mid 90's, they started leaving gowns out for males, but I never wore them because I was used to not wearing them, as they hadn't even been offered.

Then when a nurse practitioner resumed the role of conducting annual physicals, she brought me to the room and said something like, "Everything off except your shorts / underwear. If you want your genitals examined, then everything off.

With this new situation, I had been so used to waiving the gown that I just used it as a drape, with this being the 1st time I was removing my underwear for the start of the exam.

I have had several exams in just a drape. Mostly skin exams but some annual physicals many years ago.

It's been awhile, since these days I'm not even asked to remove any clothes and almost never touched or physically examined at the doctors office. It's more of a mental health like exam for my annual physicals. Why even go?

I had one memorable annual exam, many years ago, where the nurse looked at me, then the folded cloth gown. She instantly knew it wasn't going to fit me, and it was the only size they had in the office. She instructed me to use it as a drape instead of wearing it.

The doctor walks into the room and instantly says I should wear the gown, not drape it across my lap. She helps me maneuver the gown up to my shoulders. The fabric barely covers my hips, let alone my lap. But I hold it in place the best I can. She does her exam, them has me lay back. Yep, I was completely exposed and she didn't notice for another minute or two. She ended up taking the gown off my shoulders to pull it down, to cover my chest and waist. After she was done with me laying down she asked me to stand up in the center of the room. She moved the gown back up on my shoulders, and again I was exposed as the cloth barely went past my belly button while standing.

She said she would skip a few tests and get me back up on the exam table so I could cover up.

The nurse came back into the room. The DR had a quick chat about the cloth gown and the nurse was about to say he doesn't need a gown but the DR told her to give me final instructions, allow me to get dressed and check out at the front desk as she left the room.

When I was just starting to play with dildoes in my early twenties, I was overly ambitious on one occasion trying to take something too big too quickly. That made me bleed a bit which scared the hell out of me, so I went to the GP the next day. For the examination I was naked apart from a small plastic drape that just about covered my crotch. The doctor spent all his time poking and looking up my bottom. He advised patience and lots of lube from then on. On my insurance he claimed I had hemorrhoids and they paid for the office visit.

Most (but not all) of my HS physicals in the 1980s were done with us wearing only a towel for most of the process and in the various stations, it often ended up just draped over us while sitting or lying down, as needed.

No, never. Almost every single exam or doctor office visit was "strip to your underwear" and have a seat on the table. One nurse offered a gown which I just refused. Only at the dermatologist was I given a gown to wear, but I usually just keep my underwear on.

Yes, I’ve had a dermatology exam with just a paper drape for my lap.

At my annual physical my female PCP examined me in my underwear and a drape. After we got to know each other she was ok with me not using the drape, but there was never any intimate examinations.

This all changed when I went on Medicare... Now you don't take any clothes off!
