Doctors acting strange during exam

Have you ever felt a doctor acted strange/inappropriate during an exam? A couple of years ago I had what felt like an urinary infection. I was out of town at that time so I had to go to a doctor I've never met before. He told me to lower my pants and lay down. He examined my genitals and abdomen and then did an ultrasound scan of my bladder, prostate and even testicles. I was sure that was it, but suddenly he says he needs to check my prostate the traditional way. That caught me off guard, because I knew he already checked my prostate with ultrasound. He asked me to stand up and bend over the exam table. I've had one prostate exam before this although not in this position, I was on my side back then. I expected it to be over in seconds like my last exam, but boy, was I wrong. I swear, he was poking my prostate for a good minute if not longer like he was waiting for any kind of reaction. He didn't say anything during all this. My bladder was full and the longer it went on, the harder it was to hold it until eventually I peed a little on my pants and underwear. I guess he noticed, because he removed his finger when that happened. He told me to pull my pants up and that was it.

I hadn't thought of this in years, although it stayed with me for a while.

There was a small, general hospital near our home in Memohis, and I made an appt to see a f doc there, when I was in my late 30s, early 40s.

By that time, I had had the full male exam several tines, so I wasn't surprised when I was instructed to get into position, hearing the familiar snaps.

What I didn't expect, though, was to feel her reaching around,. Not sure what that was about, but I never went back!

I once had a doctor acting strange. But not in any way sexually inappropriate or anything like that.

It was when I was in college, long hair and all that jazz and i was sent to a pneumologist who diagnosed me with TBC. He was very old-school and didn't seem to like me much. The feeling was mutual.

He ordered a bronchoscopy after he began to surmise I didn't have TBC after all (I didn't) and it did not go well. First I was half sedated, then given an atropine based drug to redeuce saliva production but made me anxious as hell, the sigmoidoscopy was (semi?) rigid and I totally freaked out, it just didn't work out.

Then the old guy got very mad, screaming I was a drug taking hippy and what not and just left, storming out of the room. The nurse stayed behind and was shocked and calmed me down. I didn't even smoke or drink back then and she believed me (I did have long hair though ...ha ha).

Anyway, I never ever went back again to that old prick. Another doctor came and he diagnosed me with a cyst and I left lickety-split.

10 years later I woke up coughing blood with a lung tumor ( a teramoma - fetal cell tissue) but still coughing up blood like in a war movie (well, OK, a little less dramatic, but it scared my wife, son and nurses in the hospital).

Got that fixed up.

But since we are talking about inappropriate behavior, I will never forget that old pneumologist who accused me of being a drug-addicted hippy to my face while almost blowing a gasket himself.

That is also a kind of inappropriateness.

Yes. I went for a physical exam and the female doctor did a very thorough genital exam stating she thought she felt a lump and it seemed extensive.

I would not call that strange behavior, but thorough and professional. If she felt a lump, who knows what it might have been?

I once felt a small lump on a testicle and of course, when at the doctor's office, she had a really difficult time finding it. It really took some time, feeling all over the place, but she finally located it. I would think it strange (or rather disappointing) if she had dismissed my reason for coming when she couldn't find it quickly.

I remember some occasions. Starting from one of my pediatrician who examinated me at home for bronchitis and finished the exam lowering my pants and doing a very accurate penis and testicles examination, unespected as apparently unnecessary. During some painful procedures I remember hands of nurses or doctor petting on my face or arm, it was not unpleasurable but unexpected and weird. In a few occasions during urology procedures I felt to being touched beyond what it is effectively needed by the procedure. I remember an old nurse keeping her hand on my belly during a catheterization, one cleaning for minutes my glans, one touching my thighs while in a lithotomy position, one keeping her hands on my feet while her collegue was doing a genital procedure on me. Touching apparently unnecessary and unexpected adding a lot to the embarassement of those moments.

Prior to adopting my kids, I had to have a very thorough medical that was requested by the adoption panel. I requested a female doctor but could only get a male one due to having to pay privately and only the male docs took on the extra work. The medical felt unnecessarily invasive and I felt very nervous. I especially hated that my private medical details were recorded on a form and shared with a team of social workers and other professionals who got to decide whether or not I could adopt. The doctor seemed flustered and agitated and I remember he kept loosing his pen.
