The "new doctor" he/she turns out to be your new next door neighbour. Is that embarrassing?

You move to a different area..you go to the "new doctor" he/she turns out to be your new next door neighbour. Is that embarrassing being examined by him/ her?

Not if you use it to your advantage with free and easy consultations. Just walk over and ring the bell. 😎

I'd call it very convenient.

I heard of a movie called "About a young man" where a young man finds attractive a lady in his neighborhood and, when he has to do his military physical, realizes that she's the doctor who is going to examine him in the nude.

I think that it more than likely has a feel of being just too close and embarrassing. Sort of like running into your doc at the market or a restaurant after you received a full exam!

A bit different but related in feeling. When I was a kid, I endured a foreskin exam and a digital rectal exam from a female doctor who was newly installed. She was my physician until I left home at 19, and it was sort of embarrassing to think, as a young adult, of what had happened before.

For me, it would depend on what I last saw the doctor for.

If it was something straightforward, no problem.

If it was something embarrassing or something requiring an intimate exam, I'd be VERY embarrassed seeing them not in the surgery and knowing I'd be seeing them often.

When my mother was working as a nurse none of the GPs in the practice lived in the area they worked in, probably for this reason. We did, however, and it was impossible to go shopping as kids without her being stopped by at least one patient.

Last summer I had my first appointment with a dermatologist. About two weeks before the appointment the mailman left some mail addressed to her in my mailbox. She lived one house from me and we had seen each other when she walked her 2 young boys to school crossing the street where I'm the crossing guard.

When I was in the hospital recently my nurse knew me also and mentioned it when she came in to get a "sterile" urine sample where she did all the work and I wasn't allowed to touch anything.

My neighbor, 2 homes away is my PCP. No big deal. We have known each other for ages. I know his kiddos and siblings. We all grew up together.

I would find that to be hugely embarrassing, and yet hugely arousing at the same time. It would totally be a love/ hate emotion for me. Overall, I think I would love the embarassing and arousing feeling I would get everytime I saw my neighbor. A quick little flashback to when my genitals were in their hands or their finger up my butt.

Not to me. Our doctor just joined our Cowboy Shooting club so we see him socially now all the time.

The joys of living in the country are that you hardly ever see your neighbor. So there would be no problem for me, us.

My wife and I live in a small town we see our doctor at the grocery store or gas station on occasion.

I have never felt embarrassed when I have seen him in public we usually say hello and are sociable with each other.

While in college, I worked for the same company every summer break required an employment physical. The exams were fairly basic I never had the same doctor or nurse twice over the 4 years.

I was either 21 or 22, I ended up getting the very new female doctor for my physical. This doctor has a chaperone stay in the room for the whole exam. The awkwardness was the nurse/ chaperone was one of my best friend’s mother in school. The first semi awkward moment, was the drug test - being her asking to pee then handing back to her a cup of my pee. Second moment, after taking my vitals then being instructed to strip down to just my underwear. At the time I knew nothing about having a chaperone sitting in for the exam.

The new female doctor comes in the room following her was my friends mom the nurse/ chaperone. That was the moment I was hoping this doctor would forget about check my genitals and hernia portion, I was wrong. Then the time came, I was told to hop off the table and lower my underwear down. It was so embarrassing standing with my penis and testicles on full display and getting examined with my friends’ mom watching. Of course, to make thing’s worse I ended up getting an erection. When I told my buddy, he just laughed.

It happened to me to have a neighbor who I discovered to be the nurse assistant of my pediatrician. She did to me all shots on my butt since I was very young. When I encoutered her outside medical office I was dreaded for pain due to shots and extremely embarassed knowing she saw me completely naked during medical examinations and taking me RT.

Depends on the comfort with that doctor but I'd suffice it to say, the doctor next door would be a great option. Not to use them but simply as a friend, have someone to go to for advice, counsel, etc, as they are able, of course. I'd also make sure they were compensated as far as making sure they were fed, or if they had children, helping to babysit so they'd have time off with their spouse.

Hard to say. But I wouldn’t think so.

I've had many doctors over the years starting with my pediatrician through the different cities I've lived in. I've always had doctors that were either living in the same community or neighbors and I would see them outside of the medical practice in a variety of settings.

I'd be knocking on his door on Friday evening with a 6-pack and a box of latex gloves.....🤣

It wouldn't be a problem for me. From time to time over the years we would bump into one or both of our male GP's while shopping in the town on a Saturday morning. One of them was regularly in the market checking out the cheese stall. Both of these men had examined my wife internally, and one of them had examined my balls. But in this type of situation it is out of context, and in some respects you view them as different people to the one you see in the surgery and there is no embarrassment...

Looking at it from another angle I wonder how the doctor feels when he or she bumps into their patients while out shopping...

My doctor is actually a female coworker. Exams are very comprehensive every year and she basically checks everything very carefully. Never a problem for either of us

Being an art photographer, I do have some sexy neighbors who ask me to shoot nudes of their wives. It’s almost as good as being a play doctor.

I don’t get to touch very much but they say their husbands like very nasty poses so I do get to focus on their most private areas. Sometimes they will pose masturbating or they will use a vibe or butt plug.

While there is basically no touching, I do have an amazing photo archive.

Not a next door neighbor, but my freshman year in college, my roommate was pretty sick, and I caught it from him, just being in the dorm room together. He called his dad, who was a doctor, and he and his wife drove close to 2 hours and came up to our room. He had his doctor bag with him. He took out a thermometer, and my roommate, without any prompting, turned over on his bed, and got his temperature taken rectally. When the thermometer was taken out the doctor directed his wife to take my temperature. I was feeling pretty embarrassed, but I needed the medical attention. I also figured what would be the difference with my roomie’s mom taking my temperature and some strange nurse.

We were both fully examined. Eventually both of us were naked, and at the end, we both got penicillin shots in our backsides.

He went to the pharmacy for some awful medicine. He instructed both of us to take each other’s temperature at least 3 times a day for the next 2 days. We were to call if the fever didn’t go down.

Yes, it was kind of embarrassing, but I’m glad he came.

Not a neighbor, but in HS my doctor’s stepson and I played soccer together and I would see his Dad at games. What was a bit embarrassing for me was him knowing that his Dad had seen me naked.

I've written about this before here...

My first full body skin exam included an unfortunate erection and the shaving of some pubic hair and scraping of a suspect mole.

The CMA involved in the procedure?

I was introduced to her two days later at a friend's Super Bowl party - her neighbor! We've seen each other several times since in a non-clinical setting and at my friend's house. Even though I've seen her in passing at the dermatologist's office, she's never been part of my exam team again

It was ALWAYS a little awkward to meet her in a non-clinical setting

Re-post: As a teen I had a hernia. I was admitted night before (before outpatient surgery days) nurse on pediatrics who prepped me--bath and shaving bellybutton to mid thigh was my best friend's mother! I visited their house 2-3 times a week. After I recovered the first time I went to their house I blushed recalling her seeing me naked. It was a couple weeks before I recovered from the embarrassment of meeting her at the house.

I think I mentioned this in a similar thread years ago. A few years after graduating from college, my wife and I joined a wine tasting group. One of the members was the Gynecologist at the university health services.

My wife said it was pretty awkward drinking wine with a guy who had given her pap smears a few years ago.

He was a weird looking fellow. Reminded me of the doctor from Cannonball Run. 😆

His other job was adjusting the headlights at the auto assembly plant?

Not a neighbor but in high school it turned out that one of the guys that I became friendly with was the son of the pediatrician that I had been going to for several years already. I was shocked when I found out who his dad was and for a while felt weird that he knew that his father had me strip down for my physicals and had handled my penis and balls during physicals and even saw me with erections.

The weirdest thing was when I started hanging out over at his house and sitting down for dinner with his family, and of course his father who fondled my balls every year ! lol
