Getting trained so exams are a breeze for the patient

I feel that we need to go to a class to watch an exam done before getting one done on ourselves. It would be much better to prepare if we were able to watch another and have a q and a session afterwords so we would not be so scared about going to our first physical exam or other exams that would put us with ill ease . I would be a test person and let others learn from me how it is done. well that would be my best way of helping the timid and scared people and get them to feel it is not a bad experience to have exams . a pre exam class so to speak .

I'm definitely attending. And taking notes. 😃

Perhaps we need to find ourselves a virtual version of an old-fashioned operating theater. Maybe a private chat room with specified attendees at a given time?

Will you consent to being the patient, cowboy?

Count me in! We can issue continuing medical (fetish) education credits. All docs need them to stay current. Perhaps we need a fellowship training program.

THen we could all get certified. But, certified as what????

Hey i will do it for a small fee and keep my face covered for privacy measure. So it will be a good thing . Just tell me were to be and what you want me to prepare for and i will be the patient.

Love your idea of a fellowship training program Gilinva. As for getting certified, why, it would be as medical fetish specialists, of course. 😃

It seems like since we're all so separated that videoconferencing might be a great idea.

All we need is one practitioner, one patient, and a live feed.

I would be happy to teach the abdominal exam! This is a great idea, just how we make it happen is the key! I'm in.

When do we start and where - this is the best idea since sliced bread.

I have nothing to teach and a lot to learn, so if any such sessions were held within reach of my home I'd be happy to take part, either as an observer (student) or as a model patient.

Have recently passed my membership for Royal College of Physicians in UK so pretty up-to-date on examinations. Happy to offer help if needed.

Alternatively, if anyone has any specific questions then just message me. New to this so still finding my feet but happy to help...

Some of us had a discussion on the chat board about this idea. It seems Cowboy won't be able to participate because of the logistics involved.

So right now, it looks like we still need a Play-Doc and a patient.

Though it might be a bit difficult (I work weekends),I wouldn't mind being a model patient, especially if the examiner is male. It would need to be in Arizona, or perhaps southern California.

Would that be a class of up to 50 in it to talk through ??

just girls i mean age 15 to 25 just so they know the in's and outs ?

In my opinion, it is the unknown that enhances the embarrassment/excitement of the exam experience.

I'm a nursing student preparing for my first real clinical exam. The videos are interesting and highly educational.
