Waiting in the stirrups

Poor you!

Out this way in at least two different DR's offices and the local clinic, they have a curtain they pull that is a few feet into the room when the doctor comes into the room to prevent just that kind of thing. I suspect this lets modest people relax more when they hear people moving about in the hallway. If the door were to open, there is still the screen and if the doctor needs to duck out for something they make sure the screen is closed again before they go out the door.

I feel for you BOOKSMJM1 i understand how that must have felt .

this is exactly the situation i would love to be caught in . although im not an exhibitionist the thought of this happening to me really turns me on to know and wonder what other people who can see what they are thinking .

im quite jealous in fact

but i doubt anything like this would ever happen to me . .

In almost 40 years and 3 kids my gyn exams, I've only been left on the table still in stirrups once, and for maybe 3 or 4 minutes each time at the most. Both times, my doctor had to step out for just a moment to attend to something. She said that she would be right back, and I could sit up if I was uncomfortable, but I chose just to stay there like that, rather than have to readjust again. And since I'm certainly a freak, it's definitely a bit of a rush to have the door swing open while lying there like that only for a moment though, I don't want to be on display for the entire office

No, I've never been left waiting. It would hurt to be left for anything longer than 20 minutes I would think.

I had a friend that told me her doctor left her for to attend to something else. After about 10 minutes she screamed until someone came in. Apparently they were very apologetic.

I'm sure most doctors go out of their way to avoid having to leave a patient mid-exam. KB

About two years ago, I had an IUD inserted. I was already in the stirrups and had the speculum inserted, when the doctor realized she had no Betadine (I think thats what was missing) She told me she would be right back and closed a curtain around the exam table. She left the room and came back a minute or two later. I was a little miffed and felt really awkward why she was gone. I was praying nobody would come in the room and see this piece of metal hanging out of my vagina.

Forced to wait on the chair can be really exciting. If tied is ultra exciting.

I've never been left in the stirrups for more than just a few.minutes before the exam. Usually it is if theyforgot something or need the assistant to grab something quickly. I can't imagine anything long term in the stirrups unless it was a major procedure etc. Not the most comfy thing in the world and who wants your hooha exposed for that long!

Unfortunately I have had an experience of being left in the stirrups with the speculum in and opened for a long period of time. It was extremely embarrassing. After that exam, and the aftermath, it took me many years to return to a gynecologist.

I have never had to wait in the stirrups. My GP does my full physical also along with the pelvic. It's like an assembly line. But she does take her time with each patient. There is even a sign in the waiting room that reads if you have waited longer than ten minutes please see the receptionist.

I did had experience as i was laying the knee holders, here stirrups rare, the doctor was called to a emergency situation. He left as, let me laying spread on the gyn chair with the speculum still in open in my vagina. He told me as he left to come back soon to go on with my exam. I was alone as feeling fo a endless time of waiting. The speculum felt very uncomfortalbe as longer as it was in me. As he come back, he apologized.

I have had two experiences of laying in the stirrups waiting for the doc. For one, he had decided to do an additional procedure as part of the overall pap/pelvic exam, but discovered just as he got sat down on the stool that he did not have a couple of the instruments he would need for that. So, apologizing over and over as he peeled off his gloves and left the room, he went to get what he needed and returned. I laid there for only about an extra 3-4 minutes since he had to wash his hands and reglove again. I felt kind of aroused but got a way bigger kick out of how guilty the doc acted. The second time, the doc, a different one but at the same clinic, had begun a procedure on me with a speculum and beta dine, etc., but then decided to do a bimanual exam first. So, after removing the spec, he dropped it in the sink and peeled off his gloves, washed his hands and got some replacement items, all which probably took just a few minutes, but he talked to me about other things making frequent eye contact the entire time as I maintained the position! Can't remember what I was thinking then, but now it is one of the favorite fantasies! Also, I have never been in a gyn office where the exam tables face the door. Your head is usually on the door end, stirrups on the far end.
