Photographed

I had the chest surgery consultation that I mentioned below a couple of days ago. After meeting with the consultant, and her examining me, I was then asked to get dressed again and go to the "medical illistration" area at the other end of the hospital to have photographs taken.

Before I left the outpatient area I was handed a form to take with me that had instructions for the photographer. There were some details of my consultant and my surgery as well as the chest area highlighed in an outline facing all four ways. there were also details of the consent I'd given for the photos "medical records", "educational use for medical staff", "education of patients who may have similar conditions" and "publication in a journal, textbook, website or other access medium".

When I arrive in the right department, which was basically a hut, there was only one photographer there that I could see. She greeted me at the door and I sat for a few seconds in a small waiting room and then she asked me to come in. She asked me to strip to the waist and stayed in the room while I did this. I thought this was a bit unusual but I'm not sure that there was really anywhere else for her to go. I put my clothes on a chair and then she told me to stand in the middle of all the lights and against a dark blackdrop.

It didn't take long, but there were lots of photos taken with me standing back to the camera, side on and front on with my arms in various different positions. i was then allowed to dress again, with the photographer staying in the room.

Thankfully it never happened to me. Or if it did, i was not aware of it.

I have been photographed at the dermatologist

Like bob1952 I have also been photographed by my dermatologist. It was a photo of my back. It was at the end of the examination so I was sitting on the exam table completely nude because I lowered my gown when she was examining my legs and feet.

I got skin burn on my upper left leg near my ass, so I was nude when he took a picture to send to the hospital for inspection. You didn't see anything though 😜

What about photos of you or parts of your body for cosmetic surgery. If you have breast implants, do the doctor always take before and after photos? You see a lot of before and after photos on the internet, I was just wondering if the do that for every patient. I know a couple of people that have had cosmetic surgery, I just don't want to ask them about before and after photos.

During my last dermatologist visit the doctor told me that he was going to take a picture of an area of concern and put it in my chart for comparison on future visits so they can see if there are any changes.

As I described in my post a few days ago, the dermatologist had a assistant taking pictures of areas of concern during the exam....It was so subtle I don't know which areas had pictures taken.

Yes. My wife requested the Dr. allow her to photograph me to document my physical problems.

I was photographed (in underwear) as a child by neurologist while I walked and performed actions as told by him. This was done to monitor my growth and devlopment. The photographs were clicked in an informed consent and in the presense of my parents.

This was done as I had some neuro issues in childhood. Now I have fully recovered from the same.

Though now I have stomach issues 😄

I don't know if i was photographed at school examination, but i heard it could happen.

You would know it, there'd be people with camera(s).

I was photographed a couple of times as part of the monitoring of my early development. The photos consisted of front and side views of my mid-rift and genital areas.

Also, not a true "photo", but following being knocked off my bike, and having severe pain in my pelvis I had x-rays and full body scan to assess the injuries. I think these were particularly embarrassing for me as I had developed an erection (a worrying sign for the medics of a potential spine injury) and the thin sheet did nothing to hide it while I was wheeled to the scan room.

I once signed a consent form allowing a GP in training to make a video of the consultation, I think it was something about her submitting them as evidence to become fully qualified or something. Sadly this isn't a great story, because all I needed was a form signed for an employer who wasn't trusting about people declaring their own medical history, so all the video would have showed was the two of us talking. Why couldn't they have sent me for a medical?? I would have requested a copy of the tape then!

I've never photographed a patient nor been photographed during a real examination but have certainly taken multiple pics of my sub, Curious, during play exams. It seemed important to my future enjoyment to be able to recollect EXACTLY how that rectal thermometer looked protruding between her cheeks. Especially after a recent spanking!

Last month at the dermatologist, a few spots on my chest were photographed. All i was wearing was a jockstrap.

One study I was in, they asked to take a photo of me from the neck down, front and back. They used a Polaroid instant camera, and showed me the photos right after. I couldn't likely be identified by these.

I was also photographed from behind, like others here, for some moles in my back.

Another time I was asked to be a model for high school students who needed to draw someone with moles or other interesting spots on their back. I asked a teacher, with a sculpture class where I modeled, to take a couple photos of me from behind with a digital camera. Then, I could see I didn't really have much on my back anymore which they could draw, so I declined the job.

The only time I am aware that I have been photographed in a medical setting was at the Physiotherapist while receiving treatment for shoulder and neck pain. I was undressed to my waist and photographed from behind on the physiotherapist's mobile phone with my permission. It was used to demonstrate to me my poor posture and deleted directly after showing it to me.

During a real exam, I was naked, though I had a gown on.

He photographed my big toe, don't recall which one.

In fact, he took two pics of it; one for him, one for me. I still have it. I love showing it to people and watch the look on their face.

I was photographed without my gums on when my periodontist was performing a sub-epithelial connective tissue graft on my lower left premolar. He does occasional lecturing and used my surgery in a lecture. Should I ask him for royalties???

@Switchablesusie Should I ask him for royalties???

Absolutely! I mean - no gums! How kinky is that?

My friend was possibly photographed during a surgery she has. It was at a teaching hospital. She agreed to it and signed a release. We don't know if they took any or not. I doubt that she cares, since the doctor promised her face would not show.

Absolutely! I mean - no gums! How kinky is that?

No gums? Kinky? Good grief, sounds like an extra for 'World War Z' ... (shiver shiver) ...

The only time I was ever photographed by a Dr. was the before and after pics of my boob job. The after pic was taken 24 hours after, and the girls were swollen and covered with sharpie marks. Not flattering.

I was photographed from head to toe by my last dermatologist. I was only wearing white briefs. There were two females in the room, the doctor and the nurse who was taking pictures of everything the doctor was pointing out. Mostly the constellation of moles on my back so she could compare the photographs to what I looked like during future visits.

I made sure to point out the mole about 2 inches above my public hair line and held the waistband of my briefs down very low (some public hair exposed) while the nurse photographed me there.

Yes he did but i asked him to.

Yup. Once. I was about 7 or 8 years old. Every six weeks I had to go to my Pediatric Endocrinologist to have full exams. This went on from ages 4 to 10. It wasn't until years after that I realized that he was getting a kick out of the exams and that they weren't actually medically necessary. My Mom always took me to these appointments. On one appointment he said that he'd like to have a medical photographer take pictures of me so they could chart my development. Um. Okay. My Mom wasn't happy but she did agree. I was very young and didn't really understand what was going on but I could sense the underlying tension. My Mom was escorted out of the examining room and a nurse was there along with a guy that was brought in, claiming to be a medical photographer. I was completely naked which felt weird. I usually had my underwear on that the Dr would slip off when necessary. So I was standing there totally naked and the nurse would hold up a towel to cover various parts of my body. I'm not sure how many pictures were taken but I'd guess at least a dozen. Afterwards I could tell that my Mom was uncomfortable with the whole thing. At my next appointment there was a manila envelope in my chart with the photos. The nurse left the chart in the exam room, which never happened, and my Mom slipped the manila envelope into her purse. I can remember my Mom commenting at some point that she thought the nurse had done that on purpose. I don't know what happened to the pictures but I do remember finding the envelope in the back of my Mom's van. This could have been the next day. I'm not sure. I just remember the shock of seeing myself in the pictures. I love med fet but I'd never allow pictures to be taken again. Years ago I did some Googling to see if I could find myself. I couldn't. I don't have any idea why the pictures were taken or if they were for a legitimate reason. I doubt it though. I think that the "medical photographer" was simply a friend of the Dr.

I have never been photographed [much less photographed naked] for a physical, but I do remember after my second visit with a pediatric gastroenterologist when I was 11, he asked me to smile for a picture to put on a wall collage with photos of other kids he saw as patients. I mean, it was a totally innocent thing he was doing there, but in retrospect I now think it was kind of strange...especially because the last time I had seen him he spread my buttcheeks wide open. I could only imagine the same thing happened with all the other kids in that collage.

No big deal people, medical photography was my job. These type of photographs were taken for teaching purposes and medical records. Sorry Susie, no royalties. I photographed everything that came in the front gate from a cut finger to the autopsy room. Always very professional. Was slightly embarrissing if photographing someone that you knew.

I have been photographed during play exams on a few occasions

One particular one there was 2 Dr's and a 3rd photographer there to observe

Certainly increased the embarrassment factor
