Unexpected Interesting Exam Today

I recently got home from a doctor's appointment that I thought was going to be uneventful...not really the case. I had an appointment with a hematologist due to some issues with anemia. I expected to get a blood test and a "see you in a couple weeks" but this doc had another plan. I was in his office talking at first and he said "Let's go over to the exam room so I can take a look at you". We walked into the exam room and as he was closing the door said "Take off your shirt;" I did so and sat up on the table in my dress slacks. He looked in my mouth and shined a light in my eyes. He felt around my neck and shoulders. He was not very gentle, which is fine by me...he has a job to do and I kinda like it a little bit rough. He listened to my heart and lungs and then I felt a bare hand on my shoulder pulling me back into a reclined position. Without a word, he lifted each arm and pressed firmly into my underarms. Next he started to thoroughly knead around my chest. "Since there is a history of breast cancer in your family, you should be asking your family doctor for breast exams. Men can get breast cancer as well as women." He spent a good deal of time kneading and feel around my chest and then tapped and pressed on my tummy. I figured he was done. But he just pointed at the front of my pants and said "I need to take a look at your testicles." That was all, so I unbuckled my belt and black pants and slid them down a bit, followed by my black CK briefs. He said "That's fine" and reached down and started to examine my testicles as I realized that he never put on a glove. He then turned to make some notes, leaving me laying there with pants and undies at mid-thigh. So I asked "Can I pull up?" He turned and looked and said "Go ahead. We're done."

He wasn't mean but he was all business and much more thorough than I'd thought he'd be. Now I want to find a play doc who will examine me in a similar way. 😃

Thanks for sharing! Really enjoyed reading your experience. Very hot to me that he didn't wear a glove. I appreciate your taking the time to write it up.

Nice post! Interesting to figure out what it means. A hematologist doing a physical exam even though he wants you examined by your primary care doctor. But then willing to take a look himself rather than relying on someone else. He knows what he wants and goes for it... and of course others might post concerns which explain why other doctors are so careful and non-thorough or referral obsessed.

Great story love thoses doctors

Great story

Thanks guys. It was definitely more than I expected to experience and was refreshing to encounter a doctor who spent some time actually doing an exam. I've had some bad experiences lately. For the money we spend on health care, some docs just don't seem to care at all about their jobs. I have, on three different occasions in the past year, told my primary care doctor (who is fantastic!) that I would not go back to a specialist he's sent me to...for a variety of terrible service issues. Seeing three people at an opthamologist's office with no one introducing themselves (including the doc, who I was seeing for the first time), a urologist who kept me in the waiting room for over an hour while he met with drug company reps and then didn't even examine me, and another specialist who made an appointment with me but instead had a PA see me and that PA pretty much told me that he couldn't answer my questions because he had to talk to the doc, who wasn't even in the office. Remember that we are customers and deserve the best attention and service ALWAYS! It is OUR health, after all!

I like the way this doctor took control and gave you abrupt and strict instructions for taking off your shirt and then for taking down your pants and briefs. I have had a couple of experiences where my genitals were examined with my pants and underwear pulled down and I thought it was exciting because the clothes frame out the genitals and emphasize that they are the parts being inspected. It would have been great if he had picked up your penis and examined it and spread open the urethra.

When I applied for life insurance years ago, the insurance company sent me to one of its local doctors for a check-up first. Since I was still in my 20s, I wasn't expecting much more of an exam. My roommate told me that he had been to one of these insurance exams before and that the doctor listened to his chest, checked his blood pressure, took some blood and sent him on his way. Like you, the doctor invited me into his office where he sat behind his desk and looked over the form that the insurance company had sent to him. He asked me a few questions about my health and since I was healthy I thought that I was done. Suddenly, he got up from his chair and said, "Let's take a look at you" and opened another door into an exam room. I still didn't think that much was going to happen until he said, "strip to your shorts and have a seat." I hesitated but undress to my briefs and sat on the exam table. The doc then gave me a very thorough physical exam which ended with my shorts on the floor and my balls and rectum getting examined. I stumbled out of his office 30 minutes later completely surprised to have gotten the full deal. My roommate thought that I was joking when I told him afterward that alot more had gotten checked than he had.

Some great stories here!

Oh yes i went in for a headache before and ended up the dr telling me to lay down on the exam table lets spread examing my pelvic region now that was a suprise

My urologist dosen't use gloves except for the rectal exam. He washes his hand and then proceed to examine me. I appreciate the trust that brings.

Great account! -, too, enjoyed how he took charge. I wish my rl docs were like that!

These are some great stories.

A few years ago, I went to a new dermatologist for a small mole on my face. I was put into a small exam room. The doctor came in chatted with me for a bit, and looked at the mole.

When he was done, he said "Lets have you step across the hall, i want to do a skin exam". I had no idea what that meant, but as soon as I step across the hall into the other larger exam room the doctor said, "ok if you could get undressed, I just want to do a complete skin exam".

i got the full deal rather unexpected.

Very nice. Id do the same!
