Anyone experience being in a doctor's office that has a mirror

If so, where was the mirror located / how was it situated, and what part of the exam were you able to see in it. Like if you were standing for a hernia exam, or sitting up for a breast exam, could you see the reflection ?

Interesting question.

I've never been in a Doctor's office where there has been a mirror, and often wondered how I would react.

Certainly when I'm standing and my testicles are being felt, it would be good to see that in a mirror.

I sometimes do look down when he examines me for a hernia.

When I examine as a play doctor I use my bedroom, which does have mirrors.

I do like to position the patient in front of a mirror.

My former doctor’s office had a mirrored wall. He did the hernia exam with my back to it, however I did get to watch myself get a rectal exam.

My doctor's office has a mirror on the wall pointing at the exam table. I'll sometimes look at myself sitting on the table facing the mirror as my doctor listens to my lungs, and then as I am laying down for that part of the physical.

Interesting question. I do know my current doctors exam room has a full-length mirror mounted to the back of the door. I assume it's to check grooming before stepping into the hall after an exam. Since it's not opposite the exam table I can't see my own reflection in it during an exam but I can see myself while I undress/dress.

I wish if I could remember which other exam rooms have had mirrors over the years.

Yes, on the back of the door there is a mirror. The exam table is in the opposite corner so can't watch any portion of the exam in the mirror.

When I was a teen most doctors had a full length though as exam rooms got smaller we see less in terms of full body mirrors. The first time I saw a full length mirror it was when I was getting my height I turned and faced the mirror in my underpants only. I noticed this because it reinforced how little I was wearing. Plus I came in with colorful clothing and now I was standing there in white briefs and white skin. I suddenly realized that undressing was not just submission but in taking away colorful clothing it stripped us of identity

I don't remember any real doctor offices with mirrors like that, but I've had a couple play exams where there was a mirror that I could watch my "turn your head and cough" and the concurrent penis and testicle exams. I really liked being able to watch.

Though I’ve never been offered one, I understand it’s common in some GYN practices for women to be offered a hand mirror to watch the speculum and pelvic exam.

Not a Dr's office but a coed changing room for an x ray. When I went back after the x ray there was a woman about 10 years younger than me in there. She wasn't bothered that I was there so we just went about changing. Later we were waiting to be released and she mentioned that they shouldn't have a full length mirror on the door for us old folks to see ourselves.

I have worked at 4 health systems. I have never seen a mirror in exam rooms.

Mirrors in changing rooms are very common. We have these especially around doors in changing rooms.

We have them even in scrub changing rooms or OR rooms.

The idea of watching my teen self be examined is exciting beyond belief. Never happened sadly. But my bathroom mirrors got a lot of attention during those years as I self examined and did just as the doctor did.

I recently went for pre op for a hernia with a doctor and nurse present.

When it came to examining my hernia both the doctor and nurse came over to where they told me to stand and undress, which happened to mlbe directly in front of a full length mirror.

Not only did they see a full frontal they could also see everything else in the mirror.

My first dermatologist had a full length mirror in the room. Felt weird looking at myself in just my underwear, with the entire rest of my body top to bottom visible otherwise. Wasn't used to that. Thought i looked gangly.

Only in the changing rooms at my doctor's.
