Doctor stays in the exam room while you get dressed

Doctor has stayed after the exam while I dressed doing notes and chatting. He has also come in immediately after I have arrived and begun to undress saying if he stayed in his office or the hall someone would grab him and he would not be able to stay on time the entire day. He said he gets bothered less if he is an exam room. After every other exam he asks the office staff and nurses is they need anything. I really like his being on time. The most I've waited has been ten minutes.

Yes I have had in two separate occasions have the medical practitioner stay and look at me while I got dressed.

When my GP did a testicular and hernia exam on me I was told to go behind the curtain and lower my jeans and boxershorts to my knees, lay flat on the bed and call him when ready. I was very reluctant to expose myself so I covered my penis with my hands throughout the examination. However when he had finished he told me to pull my trousers up and was staring directly at me watching me until I did it, which meant I had to uncover my penis as my hands moved down to grab my jeans and boxers to pull them up. It left me very conscious of being exposed to him as he was staring directly at me.

When I then had to have a testicular ultrasound done again I had my penis covered by a paper towel and when the technician had finished said use the paper towel to wipe off the gel and pull your jeans up. I looked at him waiting for him to go and he just stared at me as said again use the paper towel to wipe to gel off and pull your jeans up. I thought I’m not fully exposing and cleaning myself why he sat there and watched so just sort of rubbed the towel over my groin and kept it there as I pulled my jeans and underwear up.

It seems strange that they go out of their way to ensure you undress in private but it then doesn’t matter when you are getting dressed. Whats the difference in undressing and dressing, as it is you changing your exposed state so if the can’t watch one they shouldn’t watch the other or should just watch both.

What surprised me was both my GP and the Technician were both looking directly at me watching me.

My doctor has always left the room at the end of the exam and I’m left to get dressed in private. There have been a few times when my doctor hs asked me to meet her at the nurses station after I’m dressed to discuss something. Always seems a little strange to be talking out there instead of back in an exam room but there’s not really anyone else around, maybe a nurse or two sitting there so I guess it’s not that big of an issue.

Never while getting dressed. But once in the ER I had to change into a gown and both a nurse and some other person who worked at the hospital stayed in the little curtained-off area with me as I changed. I said, “Can I get a little privacy?” And the other person (not the nurse) said, “This is your privacy.” It was embarrassing to me, although thankfully I was able to keep my underwear on.

I think during regular phyiscals, it seems the doctor just prefers to do all the business part of it while you're still in the gown / whatever. That way, if any concerns come up and the doc wants to have a look, your body is still accessible to be examined. Once it's concluded that the exam is concluded, the doc leaves you to get dressed, while retreating back to the office to write up notes, look into the next appointment, any messages, etc, to keep the day moving.

Then in times of something like a dermatology exam, once the exam is concluded & maybe notes are taken right their on the laptop on the counter, and perhaps a script is being prepared for skin treatment, and the derm doc knows you're as checked as you're going to be, they tell you you can start getting dressed. So that you don't need to be exposed any longer than you have to be. They seem to keep going about their business, paying no mind as you start dressing. I think dressing is nowhere near as personal as undressing. What's the big deal about putting clothes back on, unless you have sexy ways about going about putting on something like a jockstrap or a bra or something. You know like, putting your underwear on, and then reaching in to position your cock just right or something. or making sure your titties sit just right as you are getting your bra on.

Psych will do that . It's not usually a cavity search but they'll stay in the room and make sure. They collect everything from you and put it all in a bag and straw and yeah they stay and watch it.

Our internist stays in the room and we keep chatting while I'm getting dressed after an exam. But there's a ¾ wall heigh cubicle wall between us, so it's no big deal. It wouldn't matter to me even if there weren't a cubicle because she's just seen me in some state of undress.

Now, it would be different while I was undressing, I think, if she were there and there wasn't a cubicle. This is probably irrational on my part, but undressing in front of someone who is about to poke and prod you seems less comfortable than re-dressing in front of them after the fact.

Here in the UK, unless the dr/nurse has to leave the room to preform an errand, they always stay in the room when you undress and as I have never been given or even expected a gown it means if they are friendly you talk to them when you are topless or naked.

Always completely undressed before doctor entered room. think it would be more awkard getting undressed with doctor in the room.

The only time that a doctor has stayed in the exam room while I've gotten dressed was when he had only asked me to remove my shirt. I had removed my shirt so that he could listen to my heart and lungs better, he had originally thought he heard something strange with my heart. Once he was done he told me I could put my shirt back on. He just stayed in the room and was typing up notes in my chart.

When he finishes I step off the table and get my underwear and start putting them on and my pants or shorts and drop that gown and get my bra on and top! He’s usually at the computer and not paying any attention! It doesn't bother me I’ve used him a long time and he’s seen every part of me so no that doesn’t bother me a bit!

I had a physical a couple years ago where the exam was in the doctor's actual office. Her desk was on one side, and the table was on the other. She drew a curtain and I stripped fully under a gown.

No, he always is out the door before I get dressed. The only time this happened was when I was a kid and he'd be having the post-exam discussion with my parents as I got dressed.

Usually my doctor leaves the room when I get dressed. However, one time about 6 or 7 years ago, after my routine physical exam, the doctor had left the room but then re-entered less than a minute later to mention something else she had forgotten to tell me. She entered without knocking. I was off the table, standing in my underpants, having just put them on after wiping the lube from my anus.

My first wife and I used to see a country doctor whose exam room was just his den i think. So if he had to write a prescription or something after an exam he sat down at his desk to do it.

He usually left right after an exam so you could get dressed, but once when he had just examined her bare upper torso because she had a bad cough, he went to the desk to write and she just stood up and took the gown off and put her shirt on and buttoned it while chatting with him.

It was really hot. I think she must have figured he already saw her nude so what is there to hide.

I had a transvaginal ultrasound very recently and the tech was in the room and I just had to strip off bottom half.

It's been many years since I had to undress and be gowned for a physical. When I did undress, there was a curtain and changing area in the exam room. (haven't seen that in a number of years). I do recall my doctor on two different occasions reviewing my exam results and medications going forward while I was dressing behind the curtain. We sat face to face discussing various things as I tied my shoes.

Now, it's just disrobe as necessary, (i.e. open the shirt, drop trousers etc) during the exam. The only time I've been asked to disrobe is for the dermatology exam, and then I'm left alone to undress and start to dress after the exam as the doc and nurse/recorder leave the room.

For me the doctor tells me to strip to my underwear then he leaves the room for privacy. But I keep my shirt on cause after he leaves a nurse comes in and does my blood pressure. Then he’ll come back to my room he’ll take off my shirt to examine my abdomen then take off my underwear for the genital exam and he’ll ask me to do excercises while nude which leaves my genitals flying around. But then he’ll leave the room for me to get dressed as if he didnt just watch my cock fly around.

I find this kind of thing amusing and bizarre. I'm all for erring on the side of protecting modesty as standard, but if they're going to make you exercise naked in front of them I don't know why they bother whether they see you undress or not. I've said it on another post, but in other contexts professionals are careful to cover me up one minute, but the next minute they're staying and chatting while I stand up naked or in my underwear to get dressed. I don't mind - I just follow their lead whatever it is - but the inconsistency is puzzling. And all that said, I'd love to be made to exercise naked by a doctor, especially if it was a complete surprise 😉

It’s pretty much standard in the U.K. for the doctor to be in the room while to undress and redress. Very often their will a curtain or screen behind which you can get undressed/redressed but it’s not unusual for you to have to do within view of the doctor.

I have never had a situation where I stepped out of all clothing, closest was down to my boxers, but even if they got removed, the doc has seen it all by the time you need to dress, so I fail to see any additional embarrassment that is possible, unless you were not standing naked at all and got hard (for the guys), mind you know the doc would know you are sporting wood, but that is the only way I could see it being a little more embarrassing, but realistically they have seen it all over thousands and thousands of different patients and exams as well.

No, my doc's are not in the room with me when I get dressed or undressed. Not much room in most exam rooms, so it would be clumsy as well as awkward.

No, not usually. the tech is finished and will walk out and then get dressed.

In Frace, there is no “exam room”, you do every thing in the doctor's office. So you undress with him/her in the room, and same when you dress back.

Most of the doctors I've seen in my life are still on their computer writing things when I undress, not really noticing me. And same when I'm asked to dress back, he/she goes back to his/her desk to write some other things (about me and the exam I guess), not looking at me anymore.

Do they really have things to write ? Or do they pretend so I have some privacy from them being “busy” and not looking at me ? I don't know. Maybe a little bit of both.

No. As soon as he's done. He's off to next pt.

There's so much they have to write down to finish the exam up, I don't know about Europe but in the US we frequently get some followup paperwork with a summary of events, doctor and clinic info, list of new prescriptions or referrals, etc.. if not printed out, then added to your online chart. It's actually really impressive they're able to get it all done so accurately after the fact, maybe that's the real reason they hurry so much these days, so they can remember it all. I had one doctor who, instead, took all his notes down on a tape recorder to have an assistant type them up later.

My PCP is a female Naturopath. Her office which is very large and inviting includes an exam table. I only had one physical and she left the room for gloves and lubricant and reentered the room within a minute while I was still undressing i did not feel uncomfortable at all since I have had about 4 prior one hour appointments Before the day of my physical. Everything was done with my underwear on, no gown, except for the last part of my skin exam and the male genital stuff that’s done. At last was the prostate exam. when done, she went bak to her desk, sat down, typed away and said I can get dressed. She also added there is a rest room to the right of her office should I need to use. It.

When I have my yearly physical, I'm always expected to dress/undress in front of the doctor. They're going to examine me anyway, so it's no big thing for me

My old doctor used to greet me in the exam room with: “You know the routine, take ‘em all off and sit on the table”. At the end he’d say “OK you can get dressed now” then sometimes he kept writing in my records and sometimes he would leave.

With my new doc the nurse/assistant collects all the information for the computer then hands me a gown saying undress to your underpants and put this on. I did the first part but didn't put the gown on. My feeling was the doc will only have me take it off so why get it dirty for the laundry? The doc came in and said “Oh you didn't put this on” as she brought it over to where I was sitting and slid it over one arm then the other. Then she had me sit on the table where she removed it from my arms so it fell off me and onto the table anyway. When she was through she sat at the computer typing while I dressed.

Here in Argentina it's exactly the same, Drs never leave the office (either in a public Hospital, a private Clinic or his private practice) it's you entering in their office so you undress and get dressed with the Dr in there, sometimes watching you doing it (unless he is writing some Notes or stuff) Besides we use no Gowns (fortunately) for any Examination (only for certain Procedures or when having a surgery performed on you)
