Ever have a doctor become embarrassed to do a genitalia check?

I have gone to the same practice for many years. They have multiple doctors and also nurse practicioners. I have tried different ones for physicals to see who is most thourough. Afterall, if a problem is starting I would like to know.

I decided to have the new NP give me an annual physical. She had been very good on the regular cold, sinus whatever visits. So I make an appointment.

I arrive the morning of, her nurse calls me into the room. She takes my vitals, weight and tells me to undress completely and to tie the gown in the front. This was a first for me. So I comply and sit in the chair wanting for the NP to come in.

She comes in and in a very pleasant voice carries on a friendly conversation. She tells me, lets get this over with and asks me to get on the table. She instructs me to lie on my left side. She then calls the nurse in to observe. Up goes the gown and in goes the finger. She then has me lie on my back while she continues the rest of the exam. She places a towel across my genitals. There really was no need for the gown.

She then asks me to stand, "and how are we going to do this?" She instructs me to face the exam table, she is on my side reaching under the gown as if she was afraid to seee it. I had never experienced anything like this before. I was told to get dressed and went for blood work.

I would call it proud, not embarrassed, a male doctor at Workplace Health checked me for a hernia while I lay on my back in briefs
