Socks off for a physical?

I'm diabetic, so I expect my feet to be examined. I wear my socks to walk around the exam room, but they come off for that part of the exam.

In play, I expect to get 100% naked.

I have had exams where I am totally naked except socks.

Yes, socks always off.

I always have to take my socks off at the doctor.

I took em off but once I left them on and the doctor took them off to feel my feet for pules and my toes.

Me too

Outstanding. It seems that females are more willing to take off their socks for a physical than males.

Only when I have foot problems, otherwise I always keep my socks on.

I guess it varies a lot if a doctor wants you take off your socks for a physical. Some doctors insist to do so and the others don't. I would say as a younger age you must remove your socks more often than when you get older. Normally pediatricians want you to be barefeet. Are you agree with me?

I have always been asked to take everything off, so I always figured it meant my socks too. Never really questions the nurse about keeping them on.

Always bare foot

Quite always barefoot

My socks are always off too...barefoot here

Also me quite often barefoot

I don't think I've ever had to be barefoot, but I do prefer it, so I usually just take my socks off when I'm undressing

I always keep my socks on for a physical. Hope I don't have any feet problems!

I usually keep my socks on at the doctors because I'm always freezing in the exam room. There was one time at my primary care that the doctor asked me to remove my shoes & socks, then checked out my ankles & feet. I'm assuming checking for signs of diabetes...??? He was not my usual doctor so don't know if that's normal for him to ask or not. At the dermatologists I always take them off because they specify at the beginning to remove all clothing.

I had to take off my socks for the first time at my physical this year with my new doctor. It was my first physical with an internist vs. a family doctor. He checked them when I was lying down, so I'm not sure what he was doing, but he checked a reflex (Babinski?) by stroking my soles with a dull blade and he poked various parts of my feet with a toothpick to see if I felt pain.

@Shellbelle: Yes its called the Babinski maneuver. Its a reflex test. We sometimes do it in EMS if we suspect a c-spine or neurogenic issue.

I always take my socks off. One time I left them on, but looked so silly. I went for a physical after work, so they were dress socks. Nurse came in before I took them off, so I just left then on and felt silly the whole exam.

I don't trust the floor in most medical facilities to be clean. Also, as I posted before, being diabetic, I need my feet checked but also want to protect them.

My Dr. always checks my feet and ankles for water retention due to a bad heart and the resulting medication so the socks come off.

"Feeling silly" adds to the embarrassment of having a physical. Personally, I think having no socks feels more awkward than having them on, although I can imagine the look of having on just underwear and dress socks. Try this one out-- tighty whities, say Jockey, Hanes, or Fruit of the Loom, with dress shoes and socks. Now that would look silly, especially when the briefs are slipped down and the penis and scrotum exposed!

For me, fashion in the exam room is meaningless. In RL, I just want the best exam I can get for my money.

In play, I expect to get completely nude. Normally, I don't wear underwear, but I own various types for play purposes. I'm happy to help my examiner's thrill by wearing underwear that (s)he enjoys seeing.

I always have to take my socks off at the doctor when I have a complete physical exam from head to toe.

In real physicals I have usually found myself sockless.

In play exams and in my fantasies the barefootedness of the female patients is pretty important, as I have quite a foot fetish.

Being a reborn hippy I am in sandals/flip flops all the time, so always barefoot

In real life I've only worn socks once that I can recall and they stayed on the whole time.

In play, I wore them but the doc removed them. I actually really enjoyed that!

Definitely socks always off during a physical or gyn exam.

I usually take my socks off. It seems weird to wear them with the drape and excuse for a top. However, when I went for my yearly in December, the day was actually cold and the room colder than usual (probably connected), so I kept my socks on. It did seem weird to wear them, but at least my feet were warm even if nothing else, including the speculum, was.

My doctor said that she always keeps her socks on at a physical.
