I do this in my exams for a couple reasons - one to assess puberty and development and two, so I can keep the guys hands out of the way while I examine his genitals.I like this idea and will include it in future examinations I perform. I would have the examinee put his hands behind his head when he assumes the supine position for the abdominal exam. "Lie flat on your back and put your hands behind your head." It would give me the opportunity of getting a really good look at the examinee's axillary hair and it might make him think I was going to proceed with pulling down his briefs and wanted to avoid him being tempted to grab my hands to prevent that.
No, I have not, but I feel this would add to the excitement of a dre if she had asked me to bend over the exam table and put my hands behind my head.
This only happened to once for a real exam. It was a neurological exam and he asked to do several movements such as arms up, arms out in front of me, then he also asked me to put my hands on my head. I remember that well because I agree that's a vulnerable position. I'm not sure what they're looking for but it's a legitimate position because I've see it several times in instructional videos.In my play exams, that is a MUST. I actually call it "the position" for short. As soon as the patient arrives, I ask him to put his hands on his head with legs apart. I tell them we're calling it "the position" and anytime I tell them to assume the position, that's what I mean. I have them do it again in different stages of undress, shirt off, underwear, then naked. Facing me, back to me and sideways. It's my absolutely favorite position.Here's a great instructional video when the doctor asks the patient to assume that position (at 1m46s):https://youtu.be/zk-obB59fWs?t=106It doesn't hurt that both doctor and patient are hot...
Not in Rl, but this is a key component of my breast exam fantasy ... gown dropped to my lap, breasts thrust forward.
When we do urethral swabs on male patients we have them place there hands behind there head or grab the sides of the exam table when the urethral swab is performed.
Yes for breast exams. In fact we are usually discussing something or he's in the middle of answering one of my many questions (haha) that he'll kinda just guide them behind my head as he moves to the breast exam portion.
Yes i will feel very embarrssed if I am asked to do so in reality. Generally for ladies this maybe a position for breast exams. Already I am topless and sitting with arms behind my head will actually make me feel " vulnerable ", very rightly said; even though it is a female doctor. I just cant imagine myself that way.Till now I have had only one breast exam and it was done with one hand at a time, that too only raised above my head, not behind my head.
...topless and sitting with arms behind my head will actually make me feel " vulnerable "Think about the OP topic question, following this subject and reading all the responses, if ever i were to do a play exam, guess where the patient's hands will be instructed to go..........
I've never had to place my hands behind my head for a physical, but at a preemployment physical I had many years ago, the doctor had me lower my undershorts, place my hands on my hips and look to the left for the hernia exam.My wife has her hands behind her head for both the sitting up and lying down portions of her breast exams during a physical.
Yes, when I had a breast ultrasound. But I usually put my hands behind my head while having pelvic ultrasounds, too 😃
Yes, when I had a breast ultrasound. But I usually put my hands behind my head while having pelvic ultrasounds, too 😃This reminds me of my TVU, what a scary experience it was. I was asked to put my hands behind my head as I lay down on the exam table.
This reminds me of my TVU, what a scary experience it was. I was asked to put my hands behid my head as I lied down on the exam table.No one ever asked me, but I usually do it because it helps me having a better view of the monitor, since I am a medical student and my doctor often explains me what he's checking.Why was your TVU so scary?
Why was your TVU so scary?Because it was my first exam of that kind. Though I have medfet interests but I am scared to go to a real doctor.I had read on the web that it is painful when they insert the probe. I was already in pain and was scared that the procedure would hurt even more.I was under the impression that normal Abdominal Ultrasound would be sufficient but I was told that a TVU would be required for clear diagnosis of the ovarian cyst that the doctor wanted to confirm about.And most importantly I had also read about chances of hymen breakage in TVU.Whatever the web may say but yes the procedure hurt a lot. It was painful. That's what I meant by scary.
Whatever the web may say but yes the procedure hurt alot. It was painful. That's what I meant by scary.Maybe you were nervous, TVUs shouldn't be painful at all (they are used also in early pregnancy).Last summer I had my first one, and I was virgin (but my hymen is loosened, since I've been using menstrual cup): I had some transabdominal scans in the past years, but only the TVU has shown my cysts.
It would certainly be exciting to be put in that position. But I don't think there would be much cause for it in a real exam.
As a doctor I've asked my patients to raise their hands behind their head for parts of an examination in the past. It's not too unrealistic as it can happen often during real life exams such as a thorough breast examination during a well woman visit.Like many other things, the twist of a play examination of course has a different feeling as the patient feels another element of exposure and vulnerability undergoing the exam. I would say it can actually bring some comfort and relaxation to know your hands are where the doctor wants them, rather than fidgeting or nervously reaching around. It's not quite as unnerving as your hands/wrists needing to be restrained, but it could be a step in that direction depending on how the visit goes.
A little over a year ago I was with my wife for her annual gyn exam. As the NP was preparing to perform the breast exam she told my wife to put both hands behind her head. This was a first for her and was the first exam she'd had at this obgyn's office.
I always have to put my hands behind my head for breast exams and breast ultrasounds. I don't remember being asked for any other exams.No intrigue for me, it just seems like a requirement.
This happened once with my brother and I when I was 15 and he was 7. We had switched to a new male doctor in a new larger practice because my little brother said that he did not want a woman examining him and he did not like being in just his briefs during the exam. So we got a male doctor. We were weighed ,bp taken and vision tests done in the open wearing all our clothing. I was feeling pretty good ,maybe no disrobing was involved as we were escorted to the exam room. After the door closed my mom says ‘you guys should get undressed’,she then turns to my brother and says ‘time to say goodbye to your modesty’. I was about to reply when the doctor came in,he was a somewhat elderly man. After some chitchat he says ‘alright guys I need both of you to strip to the skin’. My mother ,somewhat confused asked ‘you mean have them take everything off,naked’ The doctor assented and my mom started to disrobe my brother. His briefs were being whisked off his ankles while I had barely removed my shoes and socks. After his briefs were tossed on the growing pile of clothing on the chair.. He immediately put both hands over his genitals to preserve some modesty. 'Guys we all know what a naked boys looks like so please put your hands on your head" and he conducted the entire exam with my brother hands linked together giving everyone a good look at his genitals. After my brother got off the exam table I noticed that he was blushing everywhere. I had a similar experience with my hands locked over my head during me sitting on the table and laying on the table. I realized that when the doctor examined me my hands being over my head meant that he could examine me without any interference.
Always positioned with my hands behind my head. Now if I get a sitting and supine exam or just supine exam depends on the provider
I would love this for a DRE where I'm bent over the exam table with my face on the table and both hands behind my head.
On several occasions during a real exam the doctor asked to put my hand behind my head: after that he felt in my arm pits and sometimes I also had to do some knee bends with my hand sbehind my head
As it was said in one message, it happened to me at regular school exams when the doctor was checking my spine, I was back to her and standing naked first, and she instructed to me to raise my hands to stretch my body, she looked first my back, and then to stretch my hands forward me, and after she touched and palpated my back until the cleft of buttocks, and then I was instructed to bend over and touch my feet.
I always ask the woman to do this during a play exam while I examine her breasts. Sometimes both hands at the same time, but normally one hand at a time…
In my very first play exam my Doc had me standing in my underwear when he started the exam. He had me put my hands behind my head, then said “Oh, I need another specimen jar,” and left the room for a few minutes. Afterwards he confirmed that he likes doing that to increase the anticipation and uncertainty in the patient. It's a great trick.
