Company physicals

London Matt needs me to watch and audit his yearly physical I think!!! mmmm how i'd love to watch him strip!!

I seem to be spotting the same noninvasive trend in occupational health which is present in general health. New doctors will try to work with a dressed patient and defer what is not 'needed,' in their opinion, unless absolutely pushed by form specifics.

I've never had a job that required me to have a physical exam.

Polly 3ox said:"a girl I grew up with had a far different experience when she applied for work at a defense contracting firm. Their requirement was a full physical exam and for security reasons finger printing and toe printing (something I had never heard of) Her hiring was on the condition she take a company paid physical exam every year so my expectation was they wanted to know something more than just a few facts about the employee's lives"I also worked for a company that did defense/national security work, starting in 1977. They required a physical for initial employment, but it was a pretty minimal one, no disrobing beyond shirt off and nothing invasive. Regular exams were not required. Many years later I was involved in a project that required first a Secret clearance, and later a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI). For the Secret they did require fingerprinting (no toes!), but no physical exam. The TS/SCI required a polygraph exam, but nothing else physical.I was also involved in some NASA work, no security clearance required, but random drug testing WAS required, and I did have to go through one of those. No biggie, and I was not at all surprised to pass it.

I've been through a few. Most were very superficial and included a urine sample for drugs.

The only one that was truly complete was when I was in my 20s, I got a job that involved entry into the state pension system. They had to be sure because if I got sick on the second day of work, I could receive lifetime benefits. That was an extensive exam at the hospital, including a complete physical, labs, EKG and my first DRE.

All of the ones that I received were pretty superficial.

The extensiveness of the new hire company physical examination depends on the type of company and the job title which an individual is applying for. I worked for three of the nations largest manufacturing high technology companies and each time the physical was a full strip done in the company medical department. The exam included blood draws, chest x-ray and head to toe examination with the doctor. Engineering graduates and technical job titles that were subject to working in the altitude chambers doing new product testing and prototype builds were examined every year after the initial new hire exam though not as extensive an examination. Other employers such as the largest package delivery companies do a full exam as do D O T and F A A job titles. Civil service such as firefighter and law enforcement also do full exams including agility testing.

The agility and endurance testing for firefighters and law enforcement officers is completely separate from the medical exam.

Yes it is a separate from the medical exam. It is time clock related in some instances and the applicant must meet the allowed time limitations for each test. Though not part of the physical exam it sure can be a teller of ones overall health and conditioning. WHEW!

I always looked at it as complimentary. I liked the convenience of having it right on site during work hours, not having to wait in a waiting room & having to take time off to make an appointment, have to travel to it, make arrangements, etc.

Plus I've been fortunate to have had great health all these years that I've never had to really have a primary care physician. i found my own GI to do colonoscopies, found my own dermatologist & orthopedic surgeon without having to use PCP referrals.

They would give you forms to fill out & gave ready ahead of time. In later years, as my eyesight started to go, I noticed the answers to that awful open circle test, where you pick the close circle from top, bottom, left, or right. I noticed the answer were on the form & I'd memorize them Ok the sequence for the right eye was T L TT BB L B, to make sure i had the sequence of at least the 1st eight. I'd perform the test as if I were actually trying.

So that was another good thing about having company exams 😉

I don't mind, you get a view of some nice asses and see who has a nice cock

I don't recall ever having a required work physical. If I had, I would have regarded it as a freebie check up.

WHen I have to go to a company physical I´m always very nervous, because I had some bad experiences earlier about them. At my first education for a bureau job (at a big german company) I was ordered by the firm to go again to the company doctor for a complete physical exam after one year, because I was too often ill. The doctor did such a thorough exam and looked for every little detail that would not be in order and sent me to a special other doctor too. After the visit by that doctor I had to stop this bureau education!

When I started my nursing education some years later, I felt really bad again during the company physical then, becaue that doctor was really uncontent with my physical and health condition, did a very long and thorough general exam, too, and sent me to some specialists in the clinic, too. Fortunately I could start the education nevertheless, but I was ordered to see the company doctor for a thorough general checkup every half a year, then. I felt everytime very bad...!

At this time of the year with spring break and Easter break some companies require the interns hired for a summer position to schedule their preemployment physicals with the occupational nurse. It does not matter if the position is a continuation from last summer or if the intern is new with the company, a physical examination must be scheduled by the employee with the occupational nurse.

I've got one coming up as a volunteer driver for seniors. I'll need a DOT physical. Anybody had one? What should I expect?

Post #139 from Sleepless79 was very similar to my last company physical. My doctor spent a lot of time examining my boobs. He had me sit, stand, lay back, and had me get on all fours so he could check them. Fortunately for me, his touch was very good. I think we both enjoyed the exam.

JDS, the last DOT physical I had: assistant did eye, hearing, vitals. Doctor did clothed 'exam,' because unless a condition is noted in the paperwork, missing limb? little is looked at.

Thank you, that's sort of what I expected. I'll post after mine.

DOT physicals may be performed by by certified nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Abuse has occurred in the past when store fronts have been set up that offered quick and cheap DOT physicals. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts come to mind as places where individuals catering to truckers performed unauthorized exams and were subsequent arrested.

One of my friends is a police officer and had to submit to a medical exam as part of the application process. He ended up applying for about 5 different departments, each with their own exam he underwent. We really only discussed his last exam, but I assume the others were also pretty thorough. He was 29, hispanic, short athletic/soccer build. He called me right afterwards and told me about it. Required extensive testing with EKG, spirometry, etc. He said this physical was a "lady doctor" and she was very nice. Talked him through the whole exam. He stood up and dropped his underwear for her to examine his genitals, and then he bent over the table for her to "put her finger up my ass and check my prostate." He said that it felt "weird" to him. He said he had one rectal exam prior to that one. It was for a different department with an older male doctor.

Hello,

I underwent a long and unpleasant exam while changing jobs several years ago.

The occupational doctor was very directive, he asked me a lot of questions about my health and my lifestyle.

I had to undress in the exam room, there was just a chair to put the clothes on.

An assistant entered the examination room to bring him documents, I did not find this very correct.

The most unpleasant moment of the examination was that he pressed my testicles strongly while making me cough, then pulled back my foreskin. Since I have a slightly tight foreskin, it hurt quite a bit.

I still have very bad memories of this hiring medical examination today.

Some professions such as fireman, police, people working in nuclear station and doing other dangerous jobs are subjected to full physical exam, and yes that includes invasive exam such as prostate exam for guys, gyno exam for girls and in some cases scope examination for both guy/girls!

By scope I mean rectal scope such as anoscope/rectoscope.

I applied for a job once. After the interview they sent me for a drug test and physical. For the physical I stripped down to my underwear and put on a down. The female doctor examined me, which included a hernia exam. At the end she told me to get dressed. As I took off my gown and stood in nothing but my underwear she opened the door and left. The older female nurse was right outside the door and she looked right at me while I stood there in just my short boxer-briefs. Funny thing is, I didn’t get the job.

The company exam I had a few years ago wasn't actually a requirement of my employer but their customer whose sites I would be spending a lot of time on so that's why I needed to do it.

I understand nobody ever failed the exam though so maybe it was just looking for pre existing conditions in case someone tried to later claim a condition or injury was brought on by working in their sites.

I've written about this before. I started work for a financial institution years ago that had its own medical department--I guess it was self-insuring. I don't remember, and I only had that job a couple of years. Anyway, passing a physical was necessary before they'd formally offer the job. I was 23 at the time.

I showed up at the appointed time. A nurse in a starched uniform took my blood pressure and temperature, then said "You pass! There's no one here today to give you a physical." So I left, thrilled to have avoided that.

About a year later, I took a friend out to lunch for her birthday, and we drank sake. I was in a great mood when I got back to the office. But there was a note: Call medical. So I called, and they said something about a well employee blood pressure check and that I should go right to them. I did, and a nurse greeted me, asked me to roll up my sleeve and she put on the cuff and took my blood pressure. She looked worried so I asked her what the problem was. "Your heartbeat's irregular." I told I knew about it, that it's been like that since I was a kid and cardiologists dismissed it and said I'd grow out of it. She wouldn't hear it, and gave me a slip to get my ECG taken. I couldn't believe they had a tech on the floor.

I went to the tech, took off my shirt, he put the electrodes, did the ECG. I put my shirt back on, thanked him and made to go back to work. "Not yet," he said. "Take this to the doctor in room XXX. " I begged off, he said they just have to make sure it's nothing.

I walk down the hall, knock an enter a doctor's panelled office. It's an older man, I'd say in his 60s. He motions to the neighboring exam room and tells me to take off my shirt. I'm sitting on the table shivering a little. He comes over looking at a chart. "We never did a physical on you. I'll do one now." I tried to beg off, and he said he already alerted my boss. "You'll have to get ready." I must have looked puzzled and he said, "I forgot that you've never had a physical here. Take the rest of your clothes off, young man, and get back on the table." Everything? I asked. Yes, he replied, he needed to examine me in my birthday suit.,

With him watching, I took my pants, shoes, socks and underwear off. He said I was in good shape. He went through all the usual stuff with the steth, etc. Felt around my abdomen. Then, of course, the cough test while I stood. Felt my balls, then slipped my foreskin back and forth a couple of times. I thought at that point was done and started to go over to get my clothes back on. "One more thing, we'll check your prostate. Leave your clothes and bend over the table." I tried to beg off again, but he insisted. Is this necessary and he assured me it was, especially if I was sexually active. So I bent over, he looked back there, make me arch my back more and then wham, he went in without warning. He felt around for awhile and I got an erection and I think dripped some. He pulled out, I got up, and he smiled. "All good, you can get dressed now."

Where I used to work, jobs were scarce. You did what you had to do to keep the job even if it felt very invasive.

I applied for a field guide job which would require me working in a different african country. The health care system in said country is very bad. So i turned up to the interview and was greated by the owner of the farm i would be working on. The said owner is also a qualified medical doctor. We had the usual question and answer session, once completed he said that he needs to do a physical exam as well. This being due to the other countries lack of medical facilities. Being only 22 i just said no problem. I was lead into an exam room he asked me to completely strip. I said ok i striped down and sat on the bed he then handed me a specimin cup and asked me to supply a urine sample which i did. He stood and watched as i provided the sample. He then proceeded to check my ears nose and throat. He then took my blood pressure and listened to my heart and lungs. He then asked me to lay down on the examination bed. I layed on the bed and he checked and felt both of my breasts including my nipples. He then felt my abdomin and listened to my bladder. He then moved on and examined my testicles and retracted my foreskin 3 or 4 times. He then asked me to turn over and stay on my knees and once again felt my testicles. He then said he wanted to check my prostrate he gloved up and lubed up my anus and inserted his finger and felt around. Once he removed his finger he handed me some paper towels and said i could wipe off. He then said the final part of the exam is now required and he wants me to provide a semen sample. He handed me another sample cup and said that i could get comfortable on the bed and do i need any stimuli to be able to provide the sample. I then said no i would be able to do it without. I then proceeded to masturbate all the while hebwas sitting next to the bed as i was busy he said i should tell him when i was ready to ejaculate as he wants to feel and make sure that my testicles retract. Once i was near i told him i was close he stood up and proceeded to feel my testicles. After a few seconds i ejeculated into the specimin cup. I then handed him the cup and he handed me some more paper towels to clean up. I cleaned up and he said thank you i could get dressed. I got dressed and we left the exam room he said that he would contact me once he had interviewed all the candidates. I know it is a long story to put in the disscussion hope it is acceptable and no i did not get the job.

It is part of my annual re-employment contract. Nothing I did not have as a kid except I have to give a urine sample with someone watching - a bit unnerving as it is normal my matron.

My current job requires a checkup every two years, but it is far from intrusive. Basically sight, hearing, blood pressure. No need to take a shirt off let alone anything else. The preemployment physical on the other hand ... different story, and a very different process depending on where they sent you to have it done. Urine sample for alcohol and drugs, go to the washroom, don't run the water or flush, there was a curtain where the door should be. About it. A colleague went to a different location and the administrator watched from the door. For the physical, it was a quick physical for myself with a check for a hernia by poking around the abdomen, sight, hearing, a check of the heart and such, no need to take my briefs off. Another coworker went elsewhere and it was a full blow physical short of checking their backside, but they were given a gown and included a testicle exam.
