Barefoot during exam

Does your doctor make you take your socks off during the exam? During my exam, my doctor had me remove them at the beginning of the exam and I had to stand/walk around barefoot during most of it. I'm kind of a germophobe and it was a very cold floor, so it was an interesting experience...

Usually remove the socks before exam.

When I do my physical the doctor takes my shirt off but shoes and pants stay on. Pants just go down for testicular exam and prostate check. I think if they asked me to undress and just wear the gown, there would be a lot of precum. LOL

Nope, socks on all the time. Very rarely am asked to remove them

Yes, my socks come off as does everything except my boxers.

Barefoot too, I only keep my underpants.

Barefoot here. If I'm watching male physical exams, I'll jokingly say to the patient, "No fair leaving the socks on" if he's wearing socks and shorts or naked except for socks.

Socks on at all times. Never had to remove them.

It was never specified so I left them on.

I am usually required to remove them. I think my doctor judges circulation based on the warmth or coldness of my feet. Unfortunately, I am required to get my physicals in the winter months so my feet are cold to begin with from walking around outside to get there, and the tile floor is cold to make things worse. Not sure if that is a valid test or not but I can tell there is usually some concern when they are found to be cold. The docs always feel and listen to the pulse in my ankles while my socks are off as well.

I usually wear flip flops so it is bare feet

Flip flops but never was asked to take then off.

I undress at the beginning of my exams down to my boxer and have a gown so i'm barefoot for my exams.

I usually take them off before my exam.

I do not believe that I have specifically been instructed to remove my socks to prepare for a physical. Since I like the humiliation of being exposed, I generally go to an exam without any socks. I prefer the experience of being naked except for white briefs for the exam. And I enjoy the feel of a cold vinyl floor under my feet when I have to stand and face the doctor for the genital exam.

I have always been barefooted for physical exams that involved undressing at all. Certainly barefooted if I am told to undress to underpants or to put on a gown.

Yep, barefoot as well here, and I agree it feels kinda creepy on the cold tile floor!

I'm a Diabetic and always told to remove socks whether I am undressing for Doctor or the Nurse.

I love having my feet examined and find the ultrasound device to check bloodflow extremely arousing.

I don't think I've ever been told to remove my socks.

I had to remove my socks, but it wasn't a big deal for me. He took his time examining my feet, which I think is good and thorough.

Yes I remove socks for exam

I don't think I've ever been specifically asked to remove socks or stockings for an exam. I just do it by habit when I undress. I have been asked to remove pantyhose even when the nurse wasn't sure if I was wearing any, which of course does make sense.

I always remove my socks. The doctor should check pulse on posterior tibial and dorsal pedis arteries. Additionally must pay attention if the ankles are swollen or there are signs of onychomycois. Exception is urologcal visit - I leave my socks on. Iknow that most of women prefer to wear socks at gyno.

I always have socks on

Whether I am told to or not I always take them off. I would feel rather stupid being nude apart from my socks.

Socks on.

I've always taken, "Undress to your shorts," to mean everything but the shorts. So, socks are always off.

Examination of the feet is crucial in prevention of limb loss in diabetics. Peripheral neuropathy deprives these individuals of the ability to know when they are experiencing tissue breakdown or lesions of the foot.

As a kid always socks off but at a recent physical I was asked to get undressed to my underwear and i left my socks on. when the Doctor had me lay down on the table he removed my socks and threw them on the chair.

While a regular check up, I always take off my socks at the beginning of the exam.
