Barefoot during exam

When I go for a physical, my doctor doesn't have me remove any clothing, including socks or shoes. He lifts my shirt up during the abdominal exam. Then I stand and lower my pants and underwear for the genital and rectal exam. Those are the only areas and times I'm exposed at all.

I’ve never worn socks during a physical, I can’t imagine it would be very helpful to the doctor who has to examine your feet and toes. I also find that along with the cold floors and exam table, in addition to nervousness that usually occurs before and during the exam, my feet and hands can sometimes get slightly sweaty and stick a little to the floor and especially the exam table.

@Djj good patient

Ah yes, another good part of the exam where they use a tool to scrape the sole of your foot for a neurological test where you're lying there, you can't see what they're doing and can just feel it rubbing against your foot, and similarly when they scrape it against your belly.

Can I find your doctor? Ive never been subjected to such scraping instruments.

I cannot recall if my doctor specifically asks me to remove my socks or not. However if I am wearing socks, I take them off anyway. Sometimes I go into the exam I am wearing flip-flops -- I generally were comfortable clothes that are easy to remove and make things go faster.

I don't recall ever taking my socks off.

Not for minor exams, but for complete exams I am always barefoot. The soles of my feet on the lino floor adds to the intense fear and pleasure.

Only time i have my socks of,is when i having a diabetic check up,and he is checking the sensitivity of my toes.

I do distinctly remember having to take my socks off during my teen exams and a few as an adult. Literally everything off except my briefs as a teen for the majority of the exam. I never gave being barefoot too much consideration but it definitely enhanced my feelings of exposure.

I posted earlier that i typically wear sandals to the doctors for a physical. At they gyms I go to I wear flip flops / shower sandals in the locker room and showers. I do not want to be barefoot in those areas. I feel the same about being barefoot in the doctors office. I am comfortable that most surfaces you come in contact with at the doctors office have been wiped off or have paper covering them. I have never seen them spray disinfectant on a floor or wipe it down. Once I am seated on the exam table I will slide my sandals off. I am not germophopic, but I consider myself cautious in this regards. Besides, the floors are cold.

For my annual physical (although I missed this year's thanks to Covid-19) my current Doc says "Everything off gown on open in the back", so I take everything off including socks.

Even if not specifically instructed, if I strip, socks are off to. The reason being that in a proper exam, there should be a check for swelling, and if the socks are on, it can't be done, at least properly. -

I have cold feet so I always ask to keep my socks on. For my colonoscopy they said ok but put hospital socks over mine. I saw my doc today about numbness in my toes. Took my shoes and socks off and she put a strip of paper on the floor. I thought that was smart.

When my podiatrist sees me and I get my toenails trimmed and the whole bit

I think I've always just kept my socks on.

I can only remember one time that I could keep my socks on during the start of an exam. It was the first time that I went for a school physical all by myself. On that occassion I first had to go to a nurse and at the end of the questionaire she specifically instructed me to completely undress BUT to keep my undies AND socks on. Then she took my weight and height and filled in some remaining forms. After she was done with the forms, she told me that the doctor would perform a head to toe exam on me next. She directed me out of her room to some chairs in the hallway where I had to wait for the doctor to call me. Sitting there in the (public) hallway with just my briefs and socks on was quite thrilling as I remember. To my relief at that time there was nobody there....but still. After about 10 minutes the doctor called me in from a different room along the hallway. When I entered the exam room, one of the first things he said was that I had to remove my socks as well. The feeling of the cold vinyl floor on my bare feet is something I can remember very well from all my exams and for me it does add an extra dimemsion to the whole experience.

In real life I usually tend to keep my socks on. I tend to have my annuals in January (just sorta how it worked out), so naturally I'd wear socks to the gyn and leave them on alongside my gown. Surprisingly it's very comfy, I definitely get the appeal!

In my roleplay exams, however, socks are usually banned. I don't think that I have a particular foot fetish or anything (even if foot exams can be quite lovely), but I like the idea of keeping my patients completely naked safe for clothes I've provided them, and sometimes not that. Also, bare feet in foot stirrups (as opposed to knee rests) are adorable. Actually scratch that, bare feet in knee rests are also adorable. Goes double for pediatric exams, where the patient being barefoot is actually important in both roleplaying and real life.

In fetish scenarios where you are naked in the exam room, having socks on kind of adds to the experience, like you aren't completely naked but of course what you are wearing doesn't do much for you. In real life I probably wouldn't like taking them off if the floor is cold or hard. Very rarely do they come off

For me, the cold, hard floor is part of the experience. I typically do not wear socks to the appointment when I am having a physical because I want to feel that cold vinyl floor when I stand to drop my briefs for the most embarrassing parts of the exam.

@exam_doc

Actually that's a great way to think about it. For the part of me that enjoys realism in medfet, it reminds me how cold and sterile the enviroment is before getting enjoyment from parts of the exam and that being a slap in the face to me.

Socks on until foot exam.

@exam_doc what sort of footwear do you wear?

I can only recall two occasions when I had to take my socks off.

Firstly for a coach driving medical exam with my GP, his instructions were 'take everything off except your pants' (underpants), socks too. A really thorough exam, probably about 35 years ago, never had an exam like it since.

Secondly at a Chiropractor, stripped to underpants only, who examined my feet for various reflexes.

You are not going to get the brief answer you probably expected. My strategy behind dressing for a physical is designed to maximize the awkwardness of the entire experience. My favorite way to be stripped down for a physical is to be in only my white briefs. I do not wear socks so if being stripped to my undershorts and socks can be left on is the instruction I receive, there will no socks to be in consideration. You might logically think I would dress in clothing and shoes that were easy to shed quickly. This is not what I do since my second preference of degree of disrobing to prepare for the exam in to be instructed to take off my shirt or to remain completely dressed. I like the awkwardness of having dress trousers with a belt in case the doctor wants me to expose my genitals. It improves the experience to have to deal with a belt and dress trousers in order to get the genitals out for inspection. The answer is that I wear dressy loafers for a business casual look.

As a kid my exams would usually start with the nurse coming in and having me take my shoes off for the height and weight check. Then I'd sit back on the exam table and she would say, "Ok this is a complete physical not just a quick check up. So take off your shirt and pants." Since she never said to take off my socks I'd leave them on and go through the exam in briefs and socks. I always thought this was kind of hot so when I go to my play doctor I always leave my socks on even when he has me take my briefs off.

DrAmandaStone surely the truth is that any kind of stirrups or knee rests and with or without socks, all have an appeal ? Maybe even leaving your tights on whilst in your examination gown?

I was always barefoot for my exams. I even remember once I left my socks on by accident and my doctor came over, grabbed my ankles and lifted both my feet in the air and took my off socks throwing them over with the rest of my clothes. And said he was gonna start the exam here and he started examining and tickling my feet slightly. I am very ticklish so even when the doctor would grab hold on the bottom of my feet, I was squirm a little. My doctor was always so thorough, even examining between my toes and massaging various parts of the soul of my feet and looking at them.

During check up pediatric assistant remove my socks everytime

The only time I can remember removing my socks was when I went for a complete skin exam with a Dermatologist. I was asked to remove everything including my socks and given a gown to put on. Never had to for any other doctors visit.

It's really depending on the exam and the doctor(s mood). Depending what he would like to examine, I had to undo my socks as well. But I wouldn't say that there was a pattern in it, sometimes the same doctor asked me to take of my socks, and for example the next examination he wouldn't.

To be honest, I don't like to be bare footed, especially when I need to walk for the exam itself. Most of the time the floor is cold and dirty.
