Dare to snoop

Speaking as a doctor, I don't think there is any harm in snooping. Keep in mind there is a difference between snooping and theft or vandalism.

Medical equipment is very expensive and if mishandled, very easily damaged. If you have a plumber or mechanic you likely wouldn't snoop through their tool box, play with their tools, or help yourself to their supplies. A doctor is no different. Supplies are also expensive and business costs are factored with the expectation of a single use per patient, not a handful of souvenirs for each visitor.

So feel free to look, as a Play Doctor I encourage my patients to do so while they wait, but please don't feel free to help yourself. If you would like a speculum or a pair of gloves just ask, most will likely give you an odd look but chances are they will happily do so rather than having you steal them.

I like to peek while I am waiting. Even at the GP they keep the speculums in the top drawer at the end of the table. The metals ones are heavy. I also like to pull the stirrup out and see what type of cover is on it. One office used to keep a tray with gloves, ky, speculum, etc out covered with a towel. I wonder how often they did pelvic exams in that room. That room also had something hanging over the exam table.

I do peek for curiosity, but never pinched anything.

once I got caught by my doc and she just smiled making a funny face and asked if am ready. lol

I always get a buzz being in the doctor's room and while they are distracted I always have a look around to see what I can see.

I remember once having a 'well man' exam at the Marie Stopes clinic in London, and there was a big pile of metal speculums by the bed...wow wished I'd been a fly on the wall!

A quick peek yes, of course. However, after reading one of the posts here, I'm going to take a longer look next time....AFTER I dress..cause as stated in the post, no one is going to walk in you then! Brilliant!

Oh my god, like I can ever not look.

I think at one point or another I've been through every drawer of any Dr I've visited for any length of time.

I've even go so far as to pull out the stirrups and put my feet up just for fun. A few years back my family dr got a new office and I was there about the second week it was open. I found out the stirrups were brand new and still had the plastic covers on them. I just had to see how comfortable they were.

I never snooped. I was always worried about getting caught. This website has made me a little more daring.

When would be the best time to snoop? I never know how fast the doctor is going to come in after I've finished undressing. Maybe I'll try to snoop right after the doctor leaves and before I put my clothes back on

I almost always snoop! And like others, I usually do it after the exam is over, when they tell you, you can get dressed. I usually pull open the drawers of the exam table to see what's inside. I'm generally curious to see what type of set up they have for performing pelvic exams. Some doctors have an array of variously sized stainless steel speculums. Others just have one or two. I check out the various swabs and lube and the small plastic bottles used to store the samples. Some use the plastic speculums encased in the plastic packaging. Some have paper gowns in the side drawer and some have cotton gowns. Once, when I went with my wife to the gynecologist, after he told her to undress and was preparing to leave the room, she suddenly said she needed to use the bathroom. He told her to use the restroom down the hall and when they both left the room I had a “quick” run of the place. In the top drawer at the foot of the table I discovered a vast array of stainless steel speculums in about three or four different sizes. He even had a few that open to the sides. I was short of time so I didn't have a chance to handle any of them.

Oddly in the hundreds of doctor appointments i have had i never once snooped around mostly because i know what to expect and even knowing i rather not spoil any of the fun like last week i had to see my ENT doctor and i knew she was going to nasolaryngoscopy and those are fun

This is another topic for LADIES and we have got MEN posting on it about stuff that is not about gynecology again! Men just post somewhere else about that stuff please.

Thank you

When I was young after my first full pelvic I thought about it. I would even dare my sister to snoop then she would dare me when she was waiting on the doctor but we were both chickens. Then eventually I became a nurse and did a rotation on L&D which took all the fun out of wanting to snoop. Then I went to work at an OB/GYN clinic.

Does it count if it was sanctioned? As in “Can you go through this pile of stuff and make sure they're not expired?" Or “Can you please inventory/unpack/restock this that or the other?”

I have to admit I would not dare to peek around. And I wonder what I should find? There wouldn’t be a hidden vib I think. Which would be pretty amazing, but unfortunately unreal.

I would be lying if I said I hadn't looked around or snooped, opening drawers to take a look. I've done it while waiting for the doctor to come in, after the exam is over while getting dressed and while sitting on the end of the table waiting, checking out the drawers in the end of the table under me. It's definitely been quick if it was before the exam while waiting for the doctor to enter, as my fear of getting caught made me not linger.
