Made to walk in hallway

We had a physical at elementary school. Nothing too invasion, just height, weight and heart. But we had to strip to just our knickers and after wrapping what should have been a bath towel around us we had to go to a vacant classroom. Not knowing why we had to bring a towel to school, most of us bought one way to small, and as we padded barefoot to the room, the boys kept trying to pull the towels away.

On my physical for my first job, i was told to go from the room, where i was weighted and measured, to the EKG room, located across the hallway. I was wearing gown and boxers at the time.

That was a bit embarrassing experience 😄

A question to "Pammy 32"

I understand that it was a bit embarrassing even if it was only in elementary school but you do not say if the boys had also a physical and the same kind of examination in the same way, stripping in their underwears and then going to a vacant room with just a towel in front of girls who could tease them as well as did the boys and try to remove the towel or pull it away and with towels which could be too small as were most of that of girls.

As an adult this has happened a few times. At the orthopaedists office I had to walk from the exam room to the x-Ray room wearing only gown. It was paper with no ties so the nurse and tech got a show.

One time I was at my PCP for a physical but the exam table didn't work so they asked me to move to the next room. The nurse checked the short hallway and I held the drape across my front and went to the next room.

At the urologist I had a cystoscopy in one room and they filled my bladder full of water. Then I had to walk to the adjective room to urinate into a measuring device. I made that walk naked below the waist.

Oh, and when I was a kid in the hospital, I had to walk down the hallway wearing only my gown to take a bath.

We did try and get our revenge by pulling away the towels, but to the boys as they were wearing their briefs, it was no worse than being at the beach or pool. For the girls, some were beginning to "bud" so they were really self concision.

But we had to strip to just our knickers and after wrapping what should have been a bath towel around us we had to go to a vacant classroom.

I don't doubt that this happened at all. But I do wonder what goes through the heads of the people in charge that setup exams like this in the first place. Why would they bother to have young students strip down in one room and then move to another just to receive their exams. It just seems that the people in charge didn't really think this through, or else didn't really care if it might be embarrassing for the students.

Whilst we were more kids than students, In my opinion, adults seem to take away all the rights a child has when it comes to nudity and assume that because someone is young they will not feel shy or embarrassed and then bundle a ton of guilt when they reach puberty

Well said Pammy.

Thanks jimmy

Although I come from a very, very textile family, when I was a teen I was lucky enough to go to some of the saunas in Germany. The ones we went to were mixed, so both sexes and all ages together and if you had a swimsuit, it stayed in your bag. In the sauna everyone was naked, the only rule was you had to have towel to sit on, but not wear.

I've never had to do anything in the hallway, but one time i was asked to run in place in the exam room. I was in a gown with underwear on underneath and ran in place for 30 seconds and then they checked my pulse after doing this.

That brings back memories.

As a boy we had to go into the headmasters office, strip off, put only our PE shorts on and then walk along a short corridor and go into one one the classrooms. There we were weighed by a nurse and then the dr listened to our lungs etc, next came the bit we all dreaded where you had to lower your shorts to your knees and then the dr gave you a hernia check and as this was the UK seeing we were all uncut, he pulled back our foreskins.

The girls were allowed to wear the summer dress of our uniform, but they had to take off their bra.

I was made to walk in both the hallway and the exam room. When I was made to walk in the hallway it was so the doctor could check my gait because I have flat feet. I was barefoot for that but otherwise fully clothed. One time my doctor made me run in the hallway as well. When I was made to walk in the exam room it was on my toes and heels and I was in my underwear for that. This was also to check my gait but I didn't know it at the time.

Not a big deal for me.

After my surgeries and when cast came off my left leg and my pelvic fractures were almost healed .My nurses used to make me walk in my room and sometimes in the hallway from observatory to ICU. Just a two minute distance and no big deal because i was wearing a robe. It wouldnt be a big deal if i was wearing a gown which was open from back.

Earlier bevore I wrote about my thorough spine exam as a small boy, done in a special clinik, where I had to undergo serveral checkups by a specialist for children.

During that longer procedur - for which I had to undress nude (spine control) I had to change rooms to go into the Xray cabinet. For that reason I was told to put on my small white briefs again und walk all the way down a long corridor into the Xray room. I was happy that we didn't meet anybody else in both ways!

This has never happened to me

When I helped with a couple of physiology research studies at university a few years back, I had to be prepped in one room and then walk through the lab common area to the main testing room.

One experiment, I had numbered squares drawn all over my chest, back and legs, and a number of sensors stuck to me, and had to walk past a number of other people dressed just in fairly tight shorts and my trainers.

Another couple of times, I had been instrumented with a lot of sensors including a wire emerging from my tight cycling shorts, going to a rectal probe thermometer, and a lot more wires, again I had to walk through the communal area where there were other people, most of whom will have known exactly what the wire sticking out the back of the shorts meant I had inside me!

Yes, it was three years ago. I had broken my arm. When I was examined in ER, stripped to my waist, the doc wanted me to go to the X-ray room. The arm was very painful, so I denied to redress and I walked to the X-ray room without my shirt and then back to ER. I can only say that this did not mind me…

After my bowel resection, they would get me out of bed and make me walk in the hospital hallway with a nurse aiding me. I had on an open back gown and slipper/socks, with an indwelling Foley and leg bag strapped to me and dragging an IV stand with IV bags hanging from it.. All visitors could see my bare butt, however I hurt so much from the sixty staples in my belly, I didn't give a damn what they saw.

I went to an orthopaedic surgeon about knee surgery and had to walk for the exam room to the X-Ray room in my gown. The nurse held the back closed as we went down the hallway and past the business office.

In the hodpital I was escorted down the hallway in my pajamas to the imaging room where I was told to undress and lay naked on the table where the tech quickly covered me with a sheet.

When I was maybe 6 or 7 I had to walk through a busy hallway at the doctor in my underwear to check my weight! There were A lot of people in that hallway! I remember being pretty embarrassed!

My pediatrician's office was in his home, the entire lower floor was made up of exam rooms, a small waiting room and a lab/office. I remember once carrying a urine sample from the bathroom to the lab/office in my underwear and not realizing that a family with a girl about my age, maybe a bit older, was in the office consulting with the doctor. I turned 5 shades of red as I left my sample and quickly retreated. I'll never forget the smirk on the girl's face.

I have never been made to walk the hallway in just a gown i have always just stayed in the exam room i was in whenever i was in a gown

Growing up it did happen when we were to get a shot if it wasnt part of the exam. On those separate occasions, we were required to wait in the hall sitting on a chair while we awaited our turn in the shot room. Sometimes, there would be others waiting as well - all of us nervous for sure and then the inevitable seeing someone come out with tears down their cheeks. "Next!"

When I had surgery I dress myself in a place I was taken in a wheelchair to dress the operating room in an open sweater back, using cap on the head was kind of embarrassing because it was the first time the operating room went to the room a stretcher, then found regular

I have had to walk around in a gown. I have had to do this when I go to the ER and also when I have been admitted and have physical therapy. I hate that the back sometimes pops open! I have no idea who happens to be looking.

Tarzansmom there is a simple solution to prevent you accidentally flashing everyone. Ask for 2 gowns, put on the first with the opening to the back and the second one with the opening to the front . This method will ensure your modesty and dignity is always maintained , we use this method very effectively on my units and our patients appreciate it . Hope it helps you in the future .

I've never had to do such a thing. But I would relish the embarrassment if I did. How great would it be to walk down a hallway full of doctors, nurses and fully dressed patients with my white cotton briefs showing through the open back of an examination gown? I'm getting hard just thinking about that!

When I was about 6 or 7 my mom took me with her when she went to see her osteopath for an exam. When she was finished she asked him to check my spine. It was a small, one doctor office so there wasn't a lot of other patients walking around the hallways. He had me strip to my underwear and he felt up and down my spine. Then he said he wanted to observe me walking so he opened the door and led me into the hallway. Then he told me to take off my underwear and walk to the end of the hallway and back. That was the only time a doctor has asked me to do that.

I've experience that two times. First time I w as 21 and just had an apendectomy. I walked to the nurses station in a gown and let the back open...wanted a pain shot.

Years later I was waiting to have my first colonoscopy. I had to piss so I walked to tge restroom in a gown that was open in the back and just barely long enough to cover my genitals. The nurse at the desk was watching. I didn't care

I've worn diapers 24/7 for about 30 years, and after 9 belly surgeries I tend to get bowel obstructions. One way I get better faster is with an NG Tube stuffed down my nose, and walking to help the bowel "wake up" again. I prefer wearing my own diapers, either ABU SDK, ABU Cushies, ABU Space, or Molicare Super Plus, cause hospital diapers SUCK!!

I rarely get much warning of impending BMs, and have been walking in the hallways, diaper butt showing through the open back gown, pushing an IV pole loaded with morphine,wearing my Budweiser beer can slippers (Bud slippers are for another story) when the poop DEMANDS to be released. Sometimes I don't get back to my room fast enough, and I wind up filling my diaper. There's not a thing I can do about it so I find myself walking in the hallway in LOADED diapers.

The best part of that situation is that I can't shower, and usually my IV is in my hand, making it impossible to change and clean myself. I just call for a nurse, whonormallycallsa second one for assistance, and get a complete diaper change with a well-washed butt performed by 2 nurses. I always try to make light of it, and sometimes make a comment like, "I bet I'm the biggest messy diaper baby ya'all had to change today, aren't I?" They laugh, usually agree, and never seem to mind helping me get sorted out.

Nurses are ALWAYS interested in the premium diapers I bbring, and usually say they'd like it if the hospital would change to diapers such s ABU diapers. I'veneer had a nurse not say something about the ABUs being cute, and I reply "Yes, they're cute, but mostly they WORK better than your hospital diapers!" A couple times my nurse would come into my room with another or two in tow to ask if she could show the others my diapers. I'm happy to oblige them.
