Have you had a doctor enter the exam room with someone to observe or examine you themselves?

Happened to me twice that I can recall. Once was when my female NP brought another woman in. It was just a minor issue, though. More recently, a male came in at my physical alone before my doctor at my wellness check. He asked a lot of health questions. She came in later without him.

Yes I’ve had this happen a few times. The first few instances weren’t especially memorable, just my GP bringing in someone they were teaching to observe and take notes. Since those visits were mostly wellness exams they were over fairly quickly.

The most notable time this happened was when I was 19 and had to go see a urologist for an issue I was having at the time. Initially I was meant to see an entirely different doctor, but I was informed at the last minute (I was already sitting in the exam room by that point) that she was unavailable and that another urologist would take over my visit. When he arrived he had a med student in tow close behind him. She was nice enough, luckily, and didn’t actually have to do any of the physical portions of the exam. She simply stood close by and observed while he did the physical exam and explained his findings (more to her than to me).

I had this happen to me one time. I had a blood vessel break in my bladder and the male urologist called his female colleague in to consult. She looked at the monitor from the cystoscope and decided she could electro-cauterize it, which she did, fortunately. Definately not an erotic experience.

I’ve had several procedures where one or more nurses or med-techs were there to assist the doctor. I’ve also had surgeries where a surgical resident was present to assist in the surgery. But I’ve never had just an “observer “ walk in unannounced. On the other hand I’ve been asked a few times if an observer could be present and I’ve never refused.

My new employer had me undertake a background check, fingerprinting, a polygraph, skills assessments, four employment interviews, a psychiatric evaluation and a complete physical examination.

During my physical exam a student was present. He was there to observe, however the attending doctor asked if the student could conduct the exam on me. The student was a male a few years younger than me. The attending physician (older female early 50's I would say) had to coach him a little but I guess he did a good enough job. It didn't bother me in the least. I provided the guy a learning opportunity.

I see one of my specialists every quarter. Usually, during one visit per year, he has a student doctor with him. They enter the exam room together and my doctor asks my permission to have the student doctor start the exam and I always say yes. Then my doctor leaves and the student doctor asks all the routine questions, asks what concerns I have for the visit, checks my heart and lungs with the stethoscope, and then leaves the room.

Out in the hallway or in another room I assume that the student doctor shares his or her finds with my doctor, they discuss things, and then they both come back into the exam room to discuss everything with me.

My primary care physician seems to have a student doctor with him about every fourth visit, but I only see my PCP about twice per year.

I had two ultrasounds on a testicle where this happened: a trainee was observing the technician do her work. In both cases, both of the examiners and trainees were female. It did not bother me, because unlike a physical exam, the only part exposed was my scrotum. Both times the female tech told me what to do (take off pants and underwear, sit on the table, hold my penis 'up' and cover it with a towel, and drape a sheet over the lower part of my body.) She left the room and gave me 5 or so minutes to get myself in position. So when they were actually doing the exam, only my scrotum was exposed. It was not an erotic experience to say the least. When finished, she left to allow to wipe the jelly from my scrotum with the towel and get dressed in private.

I had two ultrasounds on a testicle where this happened:

The same thing happened to me many years ago. I had an ultrasound to determine why I had a swollen testicle. The tech was a young female, and she was very professional. Confused by the swelling and what she was finding, she left for a few minutes and came back with a much older female. She never really explained if it was a senior technician or a doctor or what, but they both looked at the screen and moved the wand around to different places. In retrospect, it was hot. But in the moment, I was in too much pain to care.

After the swelling/infection passed. I was sent for a followup ultrasound. I was in much better spirits. I commented to the tech that she probably doesn't do a lot of these, and she proceed to tell me about the patient she had a few weeks ago with a severely swollen testicle. I didn't tell her it was me.

This happened to me only today. I have recurring uvitis which flared up overnight. I went to the eye casualty, got an examination and a scan on my eyes. The doctor asked if another doctor could look as she was training. It's all good news, means I get two opinions instead of one. I got three lots of drops and my eye is already feeling so much better.

Yes, it happened to me. After I was diagnosed with penile cancer in 2023, I had to go to a specialty urological surgeon. He walked in with a young Asian woman, introduced himself and the youn lady. Then explained that she was thinking of urology as her specialty, then asked if I would mind her being in the room and possibly participating in the exam being that this type of cancer is so rare in the US. I agreed to allow her to stay. Every one needs to learn. At this point my PCP looked at it the local urologist looked at it he biopsied did a cystiscope exam on the little guy. His nurse removed the catheter, so what's a couple more people checking it out. The little guy is gone now, so no big deal! I guess she got the last look, so to speak.

As part of a play examination that would be super, particularly if one as the patient was in a suitable exposed position or restrained, sadly I have not experienced another medic observing in the few play exams I have had, in real situation situations I have twice had students observe with the doctor, but no examination was done, and once at the authodontist he called in his colleague to see my "unique problem" of overcrowding

In the Navy and with the VA, it is a fairly common occurrence.

Yes, I have had several doctors, nurse practitioners, ultrasound techs, and others come in with another person to assist or chaperone usually a female. I also when living in a large city had my outpatient care at a clinic run by a teaching hospital so I frequently saw a medical intern first sometimes with the supervising doctor present other times by the intern first then the supervising doctor would come in later or the supervising doctor would do the exam or procedure while the intern looked on.

Most of the providers at my large state university were female nurse practitioners as well and they frequently brought in a chaperone which back then you really didn't have a choice and they would pull almost anyone available in to watch.

A couple of times I’ve had that happen but I was always asked if it was alright.

I was having an ECG a couple of weeks ago and the nurse doing it couldn’t get a clear reading. While I was lying there topless she went to get another nurse to help. They couldn’t sort it so then they phoned a doctor to come and have a look too.

I’m trans masculine and haven’t had surgery yet, so my large chest was fully exposed. She asked if I was ok with it each time though, and did offer to cover me up before they arrived each time.

I had a visit a little over a year ago where I had a student brought in. The exam wasn’t very thorough and she sat silently during the majority of the visit. As a kid I had a more thorough exam with a student there the entire time and the doctor made comments to them while i was examined.

Yes, pretty much standard practice at a teaching medical center/hospital. Doctor brings along a student or two, usually interns as asks them to do quick one-over on my body and then they watch the doctor do the required examination. I am male and my derm doctor is an attractive female about twenty years younger than I am; she had three students accompany during my exam. One was a scribe, another a careful observer, and the third a hands-on actually touched me, the patient. Full body skin exam, from top of head to bottom of feet.. including a careful examination at my man-parts! Interesting experience to say the least, especially when the third young lady asked the doctor questions relative to the "red spots" on my testicles. Four younger ladies and my physical response was observable and immediate. Later when the session was over and the three students had left the room, my only comment to the doctor was to quote an old saying "water, water, everywhere but not a drip to drink!!!

I had very similar exams a couple of times growing up as a young teen and remember thinking it was extra embarrassing and I had no choice in the matter.

I’ve had a student observe a rash and and another rime a urology exam including a DRE. Just a few months ago I saw a dermatologist PA who diagnosed Chilblains on my fingers. She asked the scribe nurse to go get another PA or nurse (not sure which) so she could show her what Chilblains looks like. She did and the PA described both the condition, what causes it, symptons, and visual indicators. Mentioned it’s more common on the toes vs fingers.

During a follow up exam following a muscle flap surgery my wife had, the surgeon brought in a colleague. I think primarilly to show off the incredibly delicate job he did!

I had a female medical student observe a consultation and biopsy some years ago. I had balanitis which wasn’t responding well to treatment, so the (also female) doctor asked whether her student could observe the biopsy from my foreskin.

I agreed, of course. But it was not pleasant and it was not remotely arousing.

I have. It is not uncommon to have Doctors come in with students to observe in a Hospital or to have a student do an interview or exam and have it followed up by a Doctor. Not too crazy about the practice.

I have had it happen at a dermatology appointment where I had a skin issue. The Dr who was male had a girl in a business suit accompany him into the exam room, he said, “ You don’t mind if this lady sits in on this consultation do you”? I said “Yes I do” no more than she’d allow me in one of her consultation's of one of her exams.

I only had once at urologist. He brought a young male intern in as he is a teaching doctor. I was very attracted to him and I wished the doctor would have let him examine me too.

Some years back, I went to see ‘Serena,’ my regular massage therapist at the time (who was also in business selling skin care products), for advice on dry skin to either side of my scrotum. Serena listened carefully to my description of the symptoms, then asked me to strip from the waist down. As soon as I was wearing only my shirt, she had me lie down on her exam table belly up, with my knees up. She moved her overhead lamps into position, then spread my thighs and leaned in so she could examine the whole area.

Serena was the LMT I've written about who discreetly provided me with prostate massage and happy endings (sometimes nude, herself, while she did so.) So I'd been naked with her many times... It was always exciting (and the fact that she was *examining* me this time made it even more so), but by this point, her seeing my body was hardly embarrassing.

What made this experience especially exciting happened a few minutes later.

Serena moved her lamps to shine into all the crevices in that area of my body, and cupped my nutsack, moving it from side to side to check out the dry skin. She looked thoughtful and said (with her hands still on my crotch), “This is really interesting. Would you mind if I brought in my assistant, to show her, too?”

Ever since my teen years, I've enjoyed being seen naked in clinics... so another pair of eyes was just fine with me.

Her assistant was a lovely young lady in her mid-twenties, with curly black hair, a pert nose, and a slightly embarrassed smile. I don't think I'd ever before shaken hands with someone, and exchanged, "Nice to meet yous," with my pants off.

The young lady leaned in and watched as Serena smoothed my nutsack out of the way on one side, pointing out the dry skin, then palmed my genitals entirely, my penis as well as my scrotum, to move everything out of the way and show her assistant the other side.

My cock was definitely swelling by this point (which, given this young stranger's presence, was a little embarrassing), but I didn't have a complete erection.

Serena followed up by using the fingers of one hand to smooth moisturizing cream into each crease, with her other hand holding my cock and balls out of the way as she did so. Her assistant continued to watch closely. (Though Serena manipulated my genitals to expose the areas in question, she made no effort to conceal them. The young lady could see everything.)

I had to wonder whether Serena was mixing a little bit of fun with business.

The cream worked as advertised, much to my disappointment. I was hoping for a follow up exam, with the assistant taking the lead.
