Doc's little quirks

Has anyone noticed their examiner having any strange little quirks?

I noticed one of my primary care docs several years ago, as i was waiting for you to the conclusion of my exam, would squeeze a ribbon of lube on the paper and drag his finger through.

Never got any complaint from me, there was never any lack of lube.

Anyone else with a similar story?

That's an amazing little quirk you noticed. How do you feel when he did it? It feels pretty sensual to me!

I don't have anything so interesting— but I will share that my current doctor is a little effeminate and instead of OK he will say "o-tay!" It's kind of endearing.

My doctor normally has no personality but on occasion he can be quite funny. One exam, I was wearing boxers my wife got me for Valentine's Day that said "I love you" on them inside a big heart. And when my doctor saw this, he said "Aw, I love you too but I still have to charge you" and than slapped me on the ass like how athletes do sometimes. It was totally unexpected because, like I said, he normally has no personality.

DrJohn, that's really funny.

I had an older woman Dr whom was an intense mouth breather. She would scrunch her face up while typing and make all sorts of breathing noises the whole time. Drove me nuts.

My doctor does little things to make the exam a little more tolerable. He has me slip into the leg rests and he sends the nurse to get a heated sheet. It does help me relax a little better. He also warms the speculum before insertion which is also beneficial and also uses a numbing cream before the rectal which I sincerely appreciate.

@dakotasuz - I've never heard of a doctor using a numbing cream prior to giving a patient a DRE. Does your Doctor rub it on your anus and wait a few minutes for the numbing cream to take effect and then insert his finger?

Sounds like a really good doctor that cares about his patients wellbeing

I once had a doctor demonstrate how he wanted me positioned for my prostate exam. He leaned over the table and had me look down at his feet to notice how his toes were pointed inward. He then straightened up and had me do the same thing, the only difference being my pants and underwear were down around my ankles.

I never asked him why, but assumed it had something to do with opening up the hips and making it harder to clench the muscles in the butt.

He gave a very thorough physical. Sadly, I only saw him once before his practice stopped taking insurance and transitioned to concierge care.

Before he does my prostate exam he has me lie on my left side and bring my left leg up then spreads my cheeks and looks I get this part but then he starts to walk away maybe two steps comes back pulls my cheeks apart then with his thumbs spreads my asshole open then walks over lubes his finger and does the rectal exam I don't get not doing it all at once

Couple of ocassions I had him during my exam wait till I was redressed or during moment about to pull up my pants apologize that he had failed to do my prostate exam and for me to just drop my pants and underwear and lean over the exam tables end for my anal intrusion. Maybe he got excitement from this mannerism. The first time it brought a exciting jolt to me like this had become the highlight in the spotlight.
