Online Exam experience

Have you ever had an online exam before and what were they like. Who do you prefer/ get examined by male or female

Thanks for making this thread Bwil22. AS a MedFet Dr. I have done a few online exams and to me, they are not as exciting as real life (F2F) exams. I miss the expression, the nervous tension in the room, the surprised look of my patient when he is told to do something - and a thousand other things. If someone is having a more successful online experience, please share it here as I would love to learn how to overcome these basic triggers for me.

I'm limited to online exams only because I can't find anyone near me for a f2f

Face-to-face exams are much more satisfying for both patient and doctor. The resposes are immediate and procedures can be amended to give the most sensual pleasure , if that is the primary aim. Online can work very well but only if the doctor is knowlegeable and articulate and takes some effort to really understand what floats that individual's boat. I personally find text based exams tedious and avoid being involved with them.

During the hard lockdown we had a few on-line “consultations”. Doc asked if we had our current weight and BP, reviewed our meds, asked if we had any issues.changes we wanted to discuss. She wrote an order to have blood work done but said it wasn't critical if we didn't want to go in at this time. Not a whole lot different - or less - than the current in person Medicare “wellness checks” . I suspect if there were reason to be concerned she would have asked for us to schedule an in clinic appointment.

I prefer to be examined by a female. I like to have to start the exam in my underwear but have to remove them part way through and complete the rest of the exam completely naked.
