Physical exams with a family member present

Hi my names Allie and for as long as I can remember my dad takes me and my sister to the Drs for all visits and I am wondering if there are any other girls who's dads do this too.

The last time I had my temp taken rectally, I was at the ER and my mom was there for the whole thing. I was 17. The nurse sounded apologetic when she told me she'd have to take it rectally and then she had me roll onto my side

Allie, there are a number of important items you have not explained. You say that your dad takes you and your sister to the doctor but was he actually in the exam room with you. If he was simply your transportation and waited for you in another room there is certainly nothing wrong with that. It also makes a difference how old you are or were at the time.

My brother and I were always examined together until I was 17 and he was 15. The doctor would examine my brother first and I would watch. Then he'd get dressed and leave and the doctor would examine me. Usually mine was more invasive as I was older.

I would always have exams with my sister as a kid (against my will) until I was about 16 and I refused to have her present. And whenever my sister was there, so was my mom. It was really annoying because the doctor always compared us and used me to show my sister what she was doing and stuff. Hated it.

My mom would take me up util 14.

My brother, sister, and I were going to the exam up until about 14. I wasn't bothered by this. There was one time when my cousins came along, because they had the same doctor.

That was kinda weird. We would take baths with our cousins when we were young, but I was already 10 or 11 when we all had the exams together.

My mum went with me until the 16. My dad has also given me a lift every once in a while. Actual examinations, however, always happened behind a curtain, though some did take place with my mother still present and fully aware of what was going on.

An Asian female friend of mine in Paris told me that she had to take her younger brother to the doctor for an exam due to a hernia he had. The boy was about 17 but did not speak French as he was a refugee and had only recently arrived in France. My friend was in her 20s and had lived in Paris for years.

She accompanied her brother into the examination room where a female doctor greeted them. My friend explained the situation and the doctor asked the boy to undress completely in front of his sister who translated throughout. He was quite embarrassed as he had never taken off his clothes in front of any female. When naked the doctor did all the normal things like checking lungs, heart, and blood pressure. With the boy standing in front of her the doctor checked for a hernia which was clearly visible and she pointed this out to the boy and his sister.

At that point he developed an erection which pointed straight out in front of him. The doctor made no comment while she examined his testicles and said that the boy needed an operation for her hernia. At that point she took his penis in her hand and retracted the foreskin of the erect penis. This was not easy as the skin was very tight. She asked is he had any difficulty masturbating and the boy denied he ever did. He was very embarrassed to have his sister translating for him. The doctor said that when he came in for his hernia operation he should probably have a circumcision at the same time. That is another story.

My mom used to be in the room when I was little.

My mother took me when i was younger but now i just drag my husband along.

My mom was present for exams up until I was 10 or 11 I suppose.

When I was a kid my mother always was in the exam room when I was sick. The nurse always took my temp up my butt

My mom took me til I was 16 and old enough to drive myself. Since I was 19 I've had my boyfriend take me. He's the one that got me in to med fet and it really turns him on to see me spread open like that. I actually hate real exams, so it's always nice to have him hold me hand!

No way would I have ever let my Dad be there, and my Mom always left for that part to give me my privacy. The exception was when I was 13 and had appendicitis. The surgeon performed a pelvic and rectal exam on me while my Mother was in the room. She probably would have left except for one she was pretty worried about me because i admit I carried on like I was dying, and two he just did it so fast that there wasn't really an opportunity for her to go without making an issue of it.

IT stopped after I was 12.

I had a pain in my side when I was about 12 and my mother took me to the doctor. I was on the table in my underwear and the doctor was feeling around on my stomach. he told me to roll on my side and them he just pulled my shorts down to my knees. I wasn't sure what to expect but so found a greased finger sliding up my butt. Felt kind of good if i remember.

I have kind of run out of things to say on the forum, so I have been asking my family for more of their experiences and I got this great one from my sister-in-law. The story involves her husband (my brother)and their nieces.

My sister-in-law (who is, by the way, an incredibly straight, church-going Lutheran woman) went with her own sister to the doctor with five of their kids—all girls. Mostly these were yearly soccer and dance class physicals although one of my sister-in-law's nieces is diabetic and needed regular check-ups to monitor her insulin treatment. The whole visit was kind of a hassle because my sister-in-law had to deal with scheduling for her own 2 girls and 2 of her nieces while her sister was going with the oldest niece to the more critical diabetic checkup.

The medical practice was full and the girls were seeing different doctors in different rooms (actually in different wings) of the practice. She couldn’t even manage to keep the times and rooms straight. The appointments secretary was keeping a separate scheduling board in an effort to help my her. My sister-in-law called my brother to come in and give some support. He’s a lawyer, but he dropped everything and drove over to the doctors’ office (in a small town that was only a 3 minute drive or so).

He runs in, asks where his wife and the girls are and gets sent back to the exam rooms where his wife, his daughter and his nieces are getting their exams. He is shown into the room with his nieces, but nobody seems real sure where my sister-in-law and their own daughters are.

He waits, talking with the nieces, with no real possibility of wandering around finding his own family. He figures that everybody will get together shortly.

While he is there a female doctor walks in, asks my brother if he is with the two girls, and then instructs them to undress. My brother, who had answered that he is with the girls, doesn’t know quite what to do and tells the doctor that he is the girls’ uncle. The doctor makes no response other than starting to ask the girls routine health questions and telling them to take off their pants and tops. The doctor’s authoritative manner and her stream of questions keep the girls from doing anything other than proceeding with the exam.

My brother won't talk, but my sister-in-law tells me she arrived somewhat later to find her husband looking on with interest as a female doctor is giving one stark naked niece a spinal check and the other one is sitting in her underpants chatting away about a recovered ankle sprain.

My sister-in-law says no one seemed embarrassed except her, and she was too surprised to ask any questions at the time. The story has become a family standard for holidays and such, but, as I say, my brother and his nieces have never given anybody any of the details beyond what I have told you.

If in laws count, i had a very exciting experience once. I happened to take my sis-in law to a clinic ,once, to have her breast exam. It was very late and the nurse has gone home already and the doc was male in his 40's.Thinking i am her husband , doc asked me to come into the clinic room as there is no nurse and he does not want to do the exam alone.My sis -in-law was in very embarassing position but she did not tell him i am not her husband. So it hapened. Shen was undressed from the waist up and he did the exam. She is very beautiful and has a nice pair of breasts. To this day neither my wife nor sis-in-law's husband know that i have been in the room with her while the exam going on

My mom was there and my sister was also in the exam room one time back in the day when I was 11.

I had the exam first, so my sister got to watch. When I was done, the pediatrician told me to leave the room and wait outside in the waiting area.

Brome, did the young man have the hernia operation and did he end up being circumcised?

My Mom would be in the exam room until I reached 18. Mom was always there.

Which is worse having you mom there or someone Else's? On a school exchange visit to France a school friend got bitten on the hand by the host family's pet dog, the mother phoned the teacher that was accompanying us in that town to say what had happened and to let her know that she was taking Tim (my friend) to their doctor. The teacher said as Tim's french was not that good she would come as well to translate for him. At the doctors they were all shown in to an examination room where a female doctor was waiting, they explained what had happened and the doctor examined Tim's hand then said something Tim didn't understand seeing the blank look on his face the teacher said "the doctor would like you to undress so she can do a proper examination" Tim ask how far he had to undress to which she said he could leave his underpants on if he was shy. Having stripped off, the doctor performed a head to toe exam, before telling them to keep the wound clean and to come back if it got infected. Going home the teacher told Tim that it could have been much more embarrassing on a previous trip one of the pupils had had to undress completely and had their temperature taken rectally.

My mom took me until I was 15. Since then I have always gone in the exam room alone.

Mom or dad till 16

My mom took me until i went to college and a few times after that and always came into the exam room, looked and ask questions. occasionally, my sisters were also present.

Treehawk.

The boy had his hernia operation and at the same time he was circumcised. His mother was very happy that he needed to be cut because they were Muslim and because of the war in his native country he never was circumcised. In France's socialized medicine this procedure can only be done for medical reasons and not religious.

My friend accompanied her brother to the hospital for the operation and checked into a room. A nurse arrived along with a young Asian girl who would interpret for the boy while he was in the hospital when his sister wasn't there. With is sister and the interpreter watching, the nurse proceeded to shave the boys pubic hair. He was very embarrassed and immediately erected. The French nurse only commented that this might make his catheterization more uncomfortable as the tube would have to travel longer up the urethra. In fact it was very painful for the boy but he quickly lost his erection.

My mother always took me to the doctor...she hasnt come into the room since I was young but she was in the room once when i got a shot in the butt about about 18 or 19 years old...shes seen me naked once or twice since about that age

The last exam I had with my mother present was when I was about 12.

I have had both my parents come till I was 15
