Socks off for a physical?

Lol my socks are always keep on though I wouldn't mind trying a physical sockless and fully nude ?

Socks off for a checkup at the GP; generally socks on at the GYN

I pretty much always remove my socks unless exam wasn't related to any of my underbelt part of the body.

At my High-School Examination I had to take off only shoes and socks

At my sports physical all clothes except for undershirt and boxer shorts

Always socks off and they always tickle my feet

Bare foot always.

Yes, ever since I was 16, my socks came off for every exam that I was asked to undress for, and my feet were always examined.

I like keeping them on so I don't feel totally naked! Also, it's cold in that office!

My doctor allows me to keep my socks on until they examine my feet. They even let me put my socks back on, or will do it for me, once they’re done with the exam.

I think it's been a long time since I had to take my socks off for a physical. At least I can't really remember. During my last physical I didn't have to take my socks off - even not for an EKG/ECG anymore. It seems to me that the anamnesis are now becoming more and more important than the physicals themselves. That used to be different. Or maybe it just seems that way to me.

I prefer to keep them on, if possible. Thinking about the germs that might be on the floor of exam rooms makes me cringe. And plus, they keep my feet warm.

Our internist's MA specifies that I remove them when I'm disrobing for a physical. My GYN doesn't care if I keep them on, nor do most of my other providers except my endocrinologist, who like our internist, does a foot exam.

For my skin exam, my female Dr. wants everything off..

Always completely naked

When I disrobe for the doctor I usually take off my shoes and socks first. I remove them to remind myself that in a few seconds I will either be completely naked with a gown and a drape covering me or in my underpants only. Removing my socks first makes me anticipate the submissiveness that comes from disrobing. During my teen exams this feeling of submissiveness was reinforced by the fact that my mother and the nurse were watching me undress,now I undress in private but after I put my gown and drape on I take a picture of my clothes to remind myself how naked I was.

I've always had to be barefoot from the very start of the exam. When I was young (7--14), I had to be barefoot while the nurse weighed and measured me. Then she left the room and I stripped to my briefs. Now I take them off after being weighed, as the scale is in a hallway.

I’ve always tried keeping my socks on during exams but the doctors always take them off.

Yes. Even when I leave them on, the doctor will remove them to examine my feet and then I remain barefoot for the rest of the exam. And I am always instructed to take my shoes off to be weighed and measured.

I’ve only been to one physical as a kid and had to take them off. When I went to my moms gyno exam she had to take them off same at my sisters. I say take them off since I like feet anyway lol.

During a school medical examination at the age of 18, the nurse had said that the doctor wanted us to take off our socks, we could keep our underwear. We had to undress in the hallway before entering the examination room.

Another time, a check-up at the age of 56. The doctor said to take my clothes off except for my underwear. I had taken off my socks, but I didn't know if that would have been necessary.

When I was younger I had to take them off for physicals. Two things I distinctly remember about this-

I was paranoid that my feet would smell.

I also remember the gritty feeling of the step at the end of the exam table on my feet.

Now? I have not been asked to take off my socks since I turned 20. I usually wear socks. Purely because 90% of my footwear requires them And I have no reason to take them off.

I once went with my wife to a doctors appointment. She forgot to bring socks and wore her shoes with the gown because “she had not had a pedicure in quite some time”.

I saw my doc about some numbness in my toes - had to take my shoes and socks off. I told her that I made sure I had clean feet and clean socks for the visit - she thanked me and said you wouldn't believe how many people don't, and how gross some are!

I have never been made to keep my socks on for physical exam. There have been many times when the nurse or doctor was very clear that I was to take everything off and included underwear and socks in that instruction. Most doctors that I have had check my feet so wearing socks would not help with that part. I have been told by one doctor that swollen feet can be a sign of a serious condition elsewhere

My sub tends to not wear socks except for during the really cold portions of the winter. So he then doesn't have to take his socks off for a physical or any doctor visit.

I have to take them off always.

I only had one doctors office specify that they wanted socks off and that was for a pre employment physical and she did look at my feet

During every physical exam … and the age of 62 … I have had many … my socks have always been removed!
