QUESTION: parent as your doctor?

There have been several posts here about having ones dad or mom present during a physical exam, but has anyone (or anyone they know) been in a situation where you mom or dad was your doctor? If so, what was it like when the more intimate parts of the physical exam had to take place?

Well that’s a good question but most medical professionals can’t treat family members unless it’s to save their life and only until someone else can take over their care

My mom was a nurse and she taked care of me when i got circumcision at 11 years old.

@Mikael22 why did you have a circumcision at age 11? That is usually done in infancy when it is relatively easy and quick to remove the foreskin.

I am the younger boy of 5 and all the sibling was circumcised between 9 and 12.

I dont know why. We got the hight and tight circumcision and my mother taked care of us all the time.

I think she did his job.

My mom is a RN and as such she conducted cursory exams when I had taken ill. Sometimes she would then set a course of treatment if possible or send me to my doctor.

No, a partner at my practice would handle routine appointments of my family and vice versa.

Anything remotely medical at home was nothing more than any non medical parent would do.

Unwise to practice medicine on immediate family
