Medical Examination with someone else

Have any of you ever had a medical examination with someone else?

If so, did you have to do things like balance tests or coordination tests at the same time or together? (for example, tapping the tips of each other's noses...)

Used to have my annual exam with my former significant other. Had 3 years of watching the other be examined. We were both in the same room at the same time but doctor did each of our exams separately while the other one watched. No one was doing something at the same time. I think that would compare two physicals where your physical should be compared just to your last year exam.

I have always had someone in with me. Either my mother when my sister and I were young. Then my sister when I got older. I go in with my sister also.

My husband and I had our annual physicals together back in November! We’ve been seeing the same doctor for a few years but this was the first time we had an appointment together. It was very fun, haha! I went first, and then when the doctor was finished with my exam, I hopped off the exam table and just switched places with my husband. 😜 This is all made better by the fact that we and our PCP are on very good terms and can joke around with one another a bit too!

The closest I came to that were group physicals in high school where ten of us went into the outer nurses office and we had to strip to our underwear and the nurses took our height, weight, and blood pressure one by one then we stood in line alphabetically until called into the exam room with the doctor and his or her nurse.

From the time I was 13 until I was 17 my brother and I had our physical exams together in the same exam room. My mother scheduled them together as she wanted to see our physical progress and question the doctor,so as a result my brother and I had several exams together with both female and male pediatricians. We were usually examined in our underpants (Fruit Of The Loom white briefs) or on several occasions completely naked. First we would get into the exam room and the nurse would have us get undressed and then we would be weighed, height taken, BP done and vision test done . When we were in just our briefs we did not get a chance to check our each other however this changed when I was 15 and my brother 7 and we were completely disrobed when the doctor came in. During that exam I know my brother checked me out since he asked me the next day about why I had hair on my genitals and armpits. The closest thing to a together activity that we did was once when we had our exams side by side but that was not very long. Later my brother told me that he was happy that I was undressed at the same time he was, he felt more secure he told me knowing that his big brother was just as naked as he was. But after the exam he asked me a lot of questions about why my body was different from his.

Recently I had an emergency appendectomy. There were a few minor complications during the procedure but things turned out well. I was lying in the hospital bed, my torso fully exposed while my doctor was examining me.

My girlfriend walked in as my doctor had a stethoscope on my chest. My GF was about to excuse herself but I stated it was ok if she wished to stay. She sat in the chair near the bed watching intently and exchanging pleasantries with my doctor as she executed her craft on my abdomen. I was given the good news I would be going home the next day. My doctor smiled at me looked over at my GF and told her to take good care of me.

My thoughts. My GF and I just started being intimate so she had seen my naked a few times but I truly respect her understanding about my possible need for privacy while being examined.

I had one summer camp physical along with my best friend. His mom took us together since my mom worked. The only thing we did at the same time was gave our temperature taken and give a urine sample. The other tests were done on one of us then the other.

@bob1952 Oral temp, I suppose?

Jacana, no it was rectal. We both bent over the table with our shorts down.

With other boys at school for group sports physicals, and with my brothers at family doctor physicals. Yes, at both they had us do all the movement and coordination stuff, including walking back forth, bending, stretching, touch toes, touch nose, etc. The only time that kind of test involved doing it WITH someone else was with my brothers, and not every time. But I remember a doctor doing a kind of relay thing where we were told to pick up a pencil, walk over and hand it to the other, then vice versa, and then also both school sports physicals and a few family doctor visits included some light exercises, which we did together (run in place, jumping jacks, pull ups, sit ups).

If so, did you have to do things like balance tests or coordination tests at the same time or together? (for example, tapping the tips of each other's noses...)

Reminded me of oxygen deprivation training in the Navy. Lined up a bunch of guys seated facing each other, wearing oxygen masks. Had us play paddy-cake while they lowere the O2 level in the chamber. At some point they had us take off the masks. Very shortly. We were missing hands doing paddy cake, some got aggressive to the point of trying to hit each other. Toiled us to put the masks back on and some couldn’t. Then they restored the O2 in the chamber. Funny thing, outside of the coordination problems and fatigue you don’t realize you’re going downhill.
