Male observer for your exam?

Has anyone ever had a male observer present for your exam if you didn't specify you wanted a female??

On exam i had a male nurse in the room...it was really embaressing. But it was his job so it s ok

I have gone with my wife to almost every exam she has ever gone to. I have become great friends with our OB/GYN and have even gone golfing with him on occasion. I have also gone to the GYN with some of her girl friends. (we have that kind of relationship We swing) If you can go I highly recommend it. It really does help with your bed side manner

I have had the med students take a turn.... I said I was cool with it..

Dream on boys!

That will not be happening to me.

I have had my husband in with me

I want my bf to come with me..

And for those of you who go with your girl to the gyno, do they let you in without problem or they try to keep you in the waiting room? Did you ever have any difficulties to be present at the exam?

Twenty years ago when i was having my son my gynocologist wanted to examen me but he had 10 students with him, i agreed, nightie up over a nine month bump legs spred and the doc did a internal, looking at the faces of the group of traineees i nearly died as one young man was the son of my dads best friend and many a time we had been at my dads clubb chatting and there he was seeing me in a position of total embarrasment.

M4m-

I think my daughter could empathize with your feelings. Three years ago, when she went into labor, she realized she had waited too long, and had her husband call 911. An ambulance with two EMT's arrived in due course and the baby entered the world in the back of the ambulance on the side of the road at about 0200.

The next morning, I called my closest friend to tell her that I was a grandmother. She told me that her son had been called out on his first maternity call the night before. You guessed it, her son was the EMT that delivered my grandson! The most ironic bit is that the deliverer and the deliveree had gone through middle school and high school together, and had hung out at dog shows with their moms all through their teens, and when it came right down to it, they didn't recognize each other! They do now!

Ladydoc's post confirms what many medical professionals have written on this board. When working on a patient presenting with an acute issue (and a baby being born certainly qualifies as an acute issue), a professional's attention is entirely on the task at hand. Thus, the EMT did not recognize that his middle school and high school classmate was the one giving birth.

I have had a male observer a couple times. My doc is a male and the office I go to is part of a university so they have med students that observe exams. Always before the exam they ask me if it's okay that I have a male med student observe my exam. I'm always fine with it! They're young and always have been attractive guys, I just wish they could examine me!

Some time ago My wife went for a post natal Gyno exam and was asked by our village (male) GP if a male medical student could be present. She reluctantly agreed and also reluctantly agreed for the young guy to perform an internal exam on her, which included a DRE to check the vaginal wall for fissures. There were no paper gowns then so she was asked to remove her dress and panties. She had the gyno exam dressed in her Bra and half slip, there were no stirrups, she was asked to adopt the 'knees apart heels together' position with her slip pulled up around her waist. The exam also included a breast check to see if her nipples were healthy for breastfeeding. For that she had to remove her Bra and stood in her half slip while the GP and the student gently palpitated and rolled her nipples checking for lactation and soreness.

The experience was very embarrassing both for my wife and for the young student who apparently blushed his way through the whole procedure.

I like this account Johnzzzz. Could you say a bit more? I had a related experience when my wife had a pre natal exam with a young trainee watching and joining in.

Have had male observers and students participate in my exams. Enjoyable is all I can say,

I have been to a doctor who had a male in the room with us. I went to this ob/gyn doctor about ten times. There must have been at least five diferent male observers. One was a med student but I think he was way to young; he looked no more than 19 years old.

On my wifes last visit her female doctor brought in a male student. My wife was very uncomfortable and voiced her displeasure. Her doctor was actually offended that she refused his participation. She said that it amounted to discrimination. I was okay with it but my wife has not reached a stage were she is willing to have a man do that work. I am trying to convince her that it would fufill a big fantasy of mine and I would reward her for helping me realize it.
