Cold ... to cold for a good exam?

On zity it is convincingly described that a good physical examination is as naked as possible. The doctor has to listen, look and feel carefully as in the old school. But then the treatment room must also be warm enough. I wonders how undressing is handled in extremely cold regions (arctic region, northern Norway, northern Canada, Inuit, etc.) where people also walk around indoors with warm clothes and the treatment room cannot be impoverished so well. Are there any zity members who can tell that?

I come from Scotland, where it's not quite down to the levels in some of the countries you mention, but it does get down to -10C in winter or below.

I can remember as a kid going to the doctor in winter and it being freezing outside and being asked to strip to my underpants. Sometimes I was allowed to keep my socks on, sometimes asked to remove them too. I can still feel the chill in the room on my bare skin and the coldness in my feet from the floor on my feet and especially the metal from the old style Detecto scales as I got weighed. No wonder the stethoscope was cold on my skin too.

In Maine, where it can be -20°, you wear layers, rather than a down coat over t-shirt. If the staff wear sweaters over scrubs, it's the temperature inside the facility. If the heating is forced air coming from the ceiling, hot air rises, and it can be cool in exam rooms.

I always make positives. If it's on the cold side, it will perk up the women's nipples during the breast exam

I’m surprised. Aren’t the exam rooms heated? even in countries where it’s very cold.

Again, hot air coming from the ceiling, while it allows for more equipment space on the floor- no baseboard radiators- rises, and cold air falls.
