This is actually a pretty great story. It is one of those that you can't tell anyone you know but you want to tell someone. It's completely true. It's too strange not to be.
I am a physician (33 y/o). Specialty is FP. For my exams, I see someone I did residency with who works very close by (Dr P) and she sees me for hers. It is very comfortable and we are good friends. We always complain that we sometimes think that too much draping is a pain because it gets in the way and you are there to be seen and examined anyway, so just relax and be examined. It is so completely non-sexual. Regardless of what people think.
Anyway, on my last physical I went in and she brought a new MA in with her that was being trained. I, per my routine, am nude except for a paper drape across my lap. The funny part is that the MA is one of my patients, and she clearly was not expecting to see me there. Dr P didn't know, and I didn't say anything, so we just moved forward. She had the MA take my BP again, listen to heart and lungs, etc, and press on my abdomen. Her hands were ice cold so I knew she must be nervous. For the male portion of the exam, Dr P did her part and then asked if it was OK if the MA could too. So she did, and did the rectal with the occult blood test. After the rectal I am standing here, totally naked, talking with Dr P while the MA is waiting for the stool test to finish, but it didn't work, so she had to go to another room and get another card. I'm still nude, talking to Dr P. When she comes back, she did another exam and we waited a while again while it came back. Now I'm sitting on the exam table. Nude. And no one seems to think this is abnormal at all. Almost made me laugh.
But it kept getting funnier. After the exam Dr P said goodbye, gave me a hug (I'm still naked), and said she was going to find the phlebotomist to draw blood. The MA is just STANDING THERE looking at me, so I asked her if she learned anything if she had any questions. She said she had never examined anyone she knew personally and asked if she did OK. I reassured her she did, but that I could really use some Kleenex because my back side was covered with lube. She is obviously still very flustered and nervous, because instead of just handing me a box and leaving while I got dressed, she goes around behind me and starts pulling out Kleenex and wiping KY off me. And it was everywhere, so she is wiping my scrot++ down from behind as well as everywhere else. Then she moves back to the front and cleans up some from thigh creases. All the time I am just standing there naked. After she was done I told her I probably could have done that, which I don't think she even realized, since she has a 4 and a 2 year old at home and I'm sure cleaned them up in the same way.
But that's not all. In comes the phlebotomist. I don't know her. But since I was standing there naked I figured she would have me get dressed first, but it didn't seem to phase her either. I got back on the exam table and the MA got a 12" plastic drape out and covered my p+++s with it, but it fell off after about 30 seconds, and I just told them not to worry about it. The phlebotomist drew my blood and the MA stood at the foot of the table. I just closed my eyes, but when I opened them just enough to see, I could see that she was just staring at my body the entire time. She probably should have pretended to be busy with other stuff.
But if I was a lay person and could sit and stare at my female physician naked in front of me, why not? When they were don't the MA mentioned to stop at the desk, apologized for something that I couldn't hear, and left.
I wonder if she will ever come back as a patient. I'm betting not.
