In my fantasy heart-exam session with my dream doctor, as well as hours and hours of stething and palpation and pulse-checking and ecg-monitoring, I would also want my doctor to talk to me a fair bit. I don't mean give me a constant commentary on what he's doing - it would be so intimate and total silence at times would add to the specialness of it all.
But I would want him sometimes to explain what he's doing, talk to me about my heart, describe what he's feeling or hearing. Also lots of reassurance - "your heart sounds perfect", " you're going to be fine", "I'm going to take really good care of you". Hearing a man talk like that honestly turns me on as much as the actual physical examination.
Does anyone else feel the same? If so, what sorts of things would you like your doctor to talk about / say?
