Discussing your exam with others

Do you share details and experiences about your medical exams and procedures with others like friends, co workers, family?

Do you enjoy hearing about other peoples medical experiences?

@shymedic Seldom.

I enjoy sharing exam stories and experiences on this site. but rarely with friends or family.

Just in Zity...(chuckle)

Guys don't seem to do that very much, but I have one friend and former co-worker (before I retired) with whom I did share medical information. We were both approaching retirement and sorting through the maze of insurance, pension/annuity and Social Security issues. We would each research information and compare notes to be sure we understood and had correct information. He also was dealing with urological issues similar to mine. We had good reason to share as we were both sorting through various treatment options. I didn't give him any direction or recommendation (other than the name of a urologist I like) but I DID give him some questions to explore with his medical provider(s). We both had frequent bouts of "Dammit, I didn't think to ask about that" during medical appointments.

The only person I discuss my medical with primarily is my wife. She is also ways there for my appointments as I am with Her's.

I very rarely talk about my doctor visits and medical tests with family and friends. I only share these things on HBP or ZITY and in chats with some heart-loving friends. I do enjoy hearing about other peoples medical experiences though.

I had a work physical once when younger with a batch of six other co-workers. We talked about getting the finger up our ass for a week or two after. And the two who luckily avoided it were even happier to let everyone know they got away without it!

My wife is the only person I discuss my exams with.

Do you share details and experiences about your medical exams and procedures with others like friends, co workers, family?

No, not details with most family. Because most don't really give a shit about us and our health issues. They seem to have worse issues than we do. They tend to "one up us".

I do keep a younger brother in the loop enough so if I need help or a driver he knows what is what.

Never with family. There were one or 2 at school I could sometimes talk to about the medicals we had. It’s always interesting hear what had happened to someone else and telling them about what happened to me.

Most of my family and extended family members are in the medical field. We freely share our medical information and conditions with each other. The one unspoken rule we have is don’t ask for diagnosis or treatment advice. Basically, the only advice given out is to go see a doctor or specialist who has access to diagnostic tests etc. My brother in law recommended an orthopedic surgeon he knew who pioneered ankle replacements, who in turn recommended a doctor in my area who he trained. Excellent outcome.

At a sleepover i talked with three other boys about our exams. It was exciting to hear what happend to the others, like get rectal temperature and suppositories by a nurse.

I wish my girlfriend would tell me about her exams. every time I ask about her gyro appointments she calls me a perv.

My wife is basically a prude and does not discuss what happens behind closed doors. I would tell her everything if she cared to hear it!

I’ve had or have overheard female coworkers talk about exams or getting IUD’s inserted, which very much piqued my attention!

I do remember quite a few times growing up hearing other boys, and sometimes girls, casually bringing up having to get a checkup and they would mostly talk how much it sucked.

The only person I share anything about my exams with is my ex gf. She was a nurse and she enjoys hearing about them. They are not very interesting I think

But she gets a bit excited to hear about them, she really enjoys telling me about her exams. she knew they would excite me very much and she would give me some good detail. Recently she has gone more in depth and and I've given her some exams based on what she's told me as she has done on me over the years. I'm not a medical professional in any way so I'm not sure how good a job I can do on that, so we've discussed finding a play Dr to give her a realistic exam and I can join in to learn how to do it better. She thinks I would really enjoy seeing that and I think she would get off on it. For this, she just had her annual exam a couple months ago and she gave me the very detailed description of what went on down to minute details to try to find a play Dr to recreate the experience as closely as possible. I loved her very detailed story and she really got off on telling me

At school I remember two of my friends discussing their exams with me and some others.

The first we were about 14 and during break one day a friend said he was having a medical that evening and we were talking about what might be done . For some reason the exam was being carried out off site at a medical centre rather than at the school. The next day we were quizzing him what had happened and it had been a very embarrassing experience. He said at one point while totally naked, he had to sit on the edge of a chair in the exam room and spread his legs wide open while the doctor examined his genitals. Several years later another friend has started doing some volunteering at the weekends at a local army base. To continue he had to pass a fitness check. He explained to us the next day that the check involved him going into a room to see a doctor where he had to strip totally naked for body checks. What made this embarrassing for him is that while the doctor did the checks, a nurse was present in the room observing everything and taking notes.

I talk about my exams with my partner as well as other people on here. I do like to hear about others exams to see how they are similar or different from my own. Its always fascinated me as far back as middle school.

Just other cardiophiles/steth-buddies.

In school we discussed our exams and the different steps of an exam. The 'cool boys' tell everyone strip down is no problem for them because it isn't embarrassing for them

I never discussed my exams with others until I started chatting here. However, I was very curious and wondered if my friends growing up had the same type of exams I had or if they felt the same way I did. I would listen closely and be all ears if one of my friends mentioned she had a gyno exam and want details but I was always too scared to ask. I didn't want them to think I was weird.

When I was you ger, I were quite shy. But with my friends (girls) I could talk about medical exams, or enema procedure, also to give vento to my stress/fear

I always have a hard time talking about my medical visits with people I know..... It's easier for me to comment on these things in chat with people I don't know in person.

I only share and discuss my role play medicals and experiences not my real life ones. Why would anyone else want to know?

Sometimes talking about your medical tests can help exorcise fear and ease tension.

At my time in the middle of the 60's, when I was a teenager of 18 age submitted to the mandatory physical examination for draft to check the fitness to military service, it was admitted that families who knew that you had the exam as all draftees wanted to have a relation of the exam, how it was conducted, if we were naked, how long and so on, it was true of course with parents especially my father because my mother did not want to embarrass me but other members of families were not like her; I had an aunt who was very eager to have all details, she said when she knew that we were lined up naked that she would have liked to be a fly in the same room and watch all of us in our birth day suits, so at the following family meet, she asked at me questions and wanted detailed answers... and laughed of course..

My grand parents wanted also to have a detailed relation;

They all knew already that draftees were submitted to a degrading exam stark naked, everybody knew that, it was not taboo at that time but they wanted more details about the set up : how much draftees were naked together ?, how long it lasted ? , who could see us naked ? , how thorough was the exam? what did the doctor and what he said and so on

Very little outside of my friends

@Ck6242 And with friends only with close ones and not in a way that would display a prurient interest.

Other than on here, no, not since I was a teenager. Back then I had some people to share it with, and they shared with me, but no one like that now. And even on here, I only really share about a few particularly cool ones from when I was young. The medical visits I have now are not at all a turn-on in any way - more of a stressful aggravation.

@esaterman

On the contrary to your explanation, there are only a few and select number of people who know what exactly happened during my exams I did have for military selection exams. Most of people know what could happen and mostly also did happen, but no one I really know has told us what exactly happened. At least not in detail. So, those exams were not really talked about with relatives.

And to conclude, in answer to the last question whether or not I do like to hear details from other's exams, sure I do and I think most of us would be quite interested ...
