Most embarrassing auscultation experience

To all my auscultation exam loving people, have you ever had an embarrassing auscultation experience which in hindsight was part of an unknown fetish and enjoyment?

This is mine-

I was about 13 at the time.

My mother took me to the doctor ( I had bronchitis)

I sat shirtless and braless on the exam table whilst the doctor auscultated my lungs for about 15 minutes.

The worst part which I'd never had before was, he made me say '99' over and over and over again.

I felt completely violated and embarrassed and my mother being there made it a thousand times worse.

I kept thinking 'why is this taking so long' and 'I feel like a complete loser saying 99 over and over'

I know now why it was done, but at the time it really scared me off going to the doctors.

Unfortunately, I was a child who had repetitive bronchitis and tonsillitis, so that was not the end of the '99's for me.

Now I sometimes throw in the '99's just for fun 😉

When we were kids, we were all taken to our physician together and we initially all had to stand in just our pants. Up to when I was 12 dressed as we were we all looked the same, but after that I remember having to take my bra off for the first time in front of everyone. It seemed to bring all the base emotions of embarrassment, humiliation and yet excitement all at the same time.

All my earliest memories of being auscultated are of acute embarassment, and discomfort first at the process itself then increasingly at the prospect of it prior to a doctors appointment or housecall. Not to mention how this embarrassment transferred to any mention or reference to stethoscopes or heartbeats with my family...

Perhaps that's the key - I always had this fear of somehow looking silly about it in front of my parents - as if they would ever make fun of me! Strangely too I can't remember at what point these feelings changed into the intensely erotic ones I have today - perhaps they were always there too? All I know is my examintions became a whole lot more enjoyable once my parents were no longer there with me - sadly that conicided with a dramatic decrease in the frequency - a child gets auscultated a whole lot more than a healthy adolescent!

Lol - I'm sure a psychologist would have a field day with all this! :-D

When I was about 8 years old, a couple of doctors were at school to examine the students and I was super anxious during the stethoscope exam, I would stare at the wall trying to think of something else but then the doctor said "relax my dear, it will be over soon". And it wasn't really embarrassing then but a few months ago I realized that she could tell I was anxious because my heart was racing.. That made me feel exposed. But it's a moment that belongs to the past so meh.

I remember a preventive exam of our schooldoc when I was 11. That was a very detailed focused on heart exam. It was very nice actually and the doctor as well.

An interesting item but not connected with auscultation in any way.

I think my most embarrassing experience was also my favorite when I think back on it. Funny how when you're in the moment, you feel uncomfortable, but when it's over, you realize how great it was.....then you wish you could do it again!

I was 19 and I was having heart skips, PVCs possibly. They occurred pretty much all the time, every five beats or so. The good thing was, I never felt them happening - I only knew about them because of my steth play. I was really worried after awhile, so I went to the doctor, trying to figure out how I was going to explain myself without revealing I was listening to myself at home. The doctor asked me several times if I felt the palpitations happening. I had no idea what he meant by "feel", so I kind of mumbled that I could feel them with my hand when I laid in bed at night.

I had taken my bra off and had the gown on with the opening in the front. The doctor parted my gown open exposing the inner halves of my breasts, which was the most embarrassing thing in the world at that age. He listened all over for what seemed like forever, then asked me to lay down, where he again exposed my entire chest and listened all over for a few minutes. He then had his nurse come in and do an EKG. In the end, he didn't really tell me what was wrong, but that as long as I wasn't feeling dizzy or in pain, I would be fine. In hindsight, that was my longest stething experience, probably a good five minutes. Would love another experience like it, in play or real life.

I did have a (male) doctor I have a good beat. Kind of made me uncomfortable. Best was his nurse, taking my BP. Pulse and BP was always higher when she took it. And my doctor figured it out and had to do it over each time. 😜

Sounds like a great exam, Shell, in the real world I would hate that, but in a play exam I think it would be awesome.

I was in hospital when I was about 13. My mum sent our next door neighbour up to sit with me as she had to work in the morning. She was sat at my bedside when two doctors came across and pulled the curtains round. She said she'd leave but they told her to stay as I think they thought she was my mum. I had to remove my pyjama top. My neighbour sat watching as the two doctors percussed and listened to my chest. They told me to take deep breaths. At the time the whole thing was really embarrassing especially as she really seemed to take an interest watching closely as they doctors examined me. Now, I would find it a huge turn on.

One of the most embarrassing auscultation experiences I ever had was going to a Doctors appointment with a female friend in College. When her turn came the Nurse came into the waiting room and called her name She asked me to go with her . I didn't think much of because she was seeing the Doc because of pain in her knee. We went to the exam room. The nurse came in checked my friends BP. Then told her too undress to the waist I asked should I leave she(my friend) said no. She undressed as the Nurse said then the Nurse started auscultating her lungs then her heart. I was blushing pretty good. The nurse had her raise her left breast in order to check her mitral valve. My friend was joking with the Nurse . She then told me too take off my shirt. the Nurse listened to my chest and told me I was healthy. I was still blushing because it caught me by surprise

I dont often go to doctors. But one time I must see the work-doctor. I never remember that earlier doctors use to listen for long, but he did. He listen all over the front. And after that he listen to me all over the back. I think it was forever. I think he moved the stethoscope more than 10 places on both front and back. I think that was a lot. But now I would like to do it again. Actually i like it, but in my dream it would be a woman doctor next time. And i hope she will use more time to my auscultation.

Saying 99 is a test of whether there is pneumonia in the lungs. We also have patients say EEEE which is a test for egophony (the sound of a goat). When you hear that it suggest that there is fluid in the lungs. Never be embarrassed about having someone listen to your heart and lungs. It's for your own good!

Shellbelle--got the same palpatation issue. Found out it's very common. I can feel mine though. It feels like a blump blump in my chest. It has something to do with your heart not catching the drift of your brain telling it to slow down. And it sometimes skips a beat and seems like it is stopping for a 1/2 second. Unnerving indeed. But the Doc said as long as no pain, shortness or breath or dizziness he wasn't worried. It's just so annoying, specially at night. Sometimes I will sleep sitting up. :-)

As a child I don't remember being overly embarrassed having my chest auscultated by the doctor. My mother was always present so that was normal. But I always found it embarrassing when she would tell her friends that I'd had to see the doctor and he'd listened to my chest. I always felt humiliated by this. God knows why, everyone have had their chests auscultated at some point.

I was 13 and at the after hours clinic (bad cough). First time my chest was bare for a male doctor. He listened all over my chest and back. He decided that it was just a bad cold and gave me a prescription for some strong cough medicine.

ChristinaM when the Dr listened to your chest were you still wearing a bra or did you have to take it off so the Dr could listen to your chest??? How developed were you at the time this happened???

She said her chest was bare, I would take that to mean bra off, especially with her saying it was her first time bare chested with a male doctor.

Cdalberth30, yes, my chest was bare (meaning no shirt or bra). That's what I was instructed to do. I was starting to develop but not overly so at that point.

ChristinaM, Would you mind giving a few more details...When you said you were instructed, were you in just your underwear or simply had your top and bra off? You said you were starting to develop, do you remember if you were wearing a training bra or regular bra before taking it off so your chest was bare? Thanks

Even as a young girl, 5 or 6 years, when we would be examined by our old school Polish doctor at the same time, I remember being embarrassed that my mother was watching me. I felt so self conscious as he asked me to breathe in and out deeply, pressing his steth all over my back, and then asking me to hold my breath as he listened to several spots for my heart. I remember my mom “coaching” me to take deep breaths and then stop, and just felt so awkward that she was watching me-because even then, getting auscultated excited me!

Yes...auscultation was the beginning as a kid. We all knew what was happening in the girls’ locker room, because we boys only had on our shorts. The mental images ran rampant in my mind. Girls Bare chested before the doctor....wanted to BE that doctor from that day on!

I wasn't so embarrassed, but just a bit awkward. A female colleague had a funny turn after her blood sugar dipped a bit causing her to faint an become incoherent. Called an Ambulance and when she came around, she asked if I'd go to ER with her, which I did. She was taken to a cubicle before I entered and had her shirt and bra removed and replaced with a gown. When I entered she was laying upright on the bed with the gown pulled up and tide around her neck. The nurse made her eat a sandwich and have a drink before an Indian doctor entered. He said he just had to listen to her chest before he could discharge her, he pulled out his stethoscope and opened the back of her gown as he made her sit forward, open her mouth and breathe deeply. I assumed he thought I was her husband as he didn't ask me to wait outside, he then asked her to sit back and without warning pulled the front of her gown down below her left breast and slipped the stethoscope under her left breast. I felt rather awkward, although we had a laugh afterwards but Im sure she was embarrassed.

I was 16 when I had my most embarrassing auscultation experience. I had to take off my bra and the doctor then listened to me standing up and then also while I was lying on the exam table. My heart must have been pounding very hard at that moment, but luckily the doctor hadn't said anything about it. Nevertheless, it was the most formative experience I ever had.

My most embarrasing auscultation was when I was 14. We were on a family vacation when I got a cold. It didnt get better so finaly my mom took me to the clinic. I was already nervous before we went there because I knew the stethoscope was inevitable. The doctor looked in my throat then felt for a while my neck. Don't knw why. Checked the glands in my neck maybe? Anyway. Then came what I feared most. He said "Okay, take off your shirt". I expected he would just slip the sethoscope under my shirt but it was not the case. I felt terribly embarrassed standing there with my tits uncovered. My heart beat very hard. He started with listening to my back. When he moved to the front my heart beat even harder. When he listened to my heart I felt helpless and violated. I thought my heart would burst out. At some point my eyes fell on my mom. She gave me encouraging sign with her eyes that meant "Just relax. It will be over soon". That made me even more embarrased because I realized that my fear must have been written all over my face. I must have been a pathetic sight. I thought I would die. At the time this all was scary for me but now I get excited thinking about it.

@tara99, poor baby.

Welcome to Zity. Nothing to be embarrassed about here.

I had several embarrassing auscultation experiences.

Back when I was 14 we had a mandatory exam at school and I remember having to strip to the waist (no bra) in front of 10 other girls. My blood pressure was 140/100 and I recall my heart was pounding like crazy while I was sitting half naked being auscultated while others stared at me.

On another occasion, I was 19 y.o. college student and I went for another routine mandatory exam. At this time, there were 4 exam operatories having thin dividers in between. Those screens were non see-through, but you could hear all the conversations in other operatories. Anyways, doctor tells me to lift my shirt up and starts listening to my heart for what I expected will last few seconds. She listens, and listens... then slips stethoscope under my left bra cup and puts her fingers on my right wrist, feeling my pulse. That lasted what seemed like forever. Then she said “I heard multiple skipped beats.” And she continued to listen, this time counting my HR and looking at her wrist watch. I guess my heart rate picked up significantly as she commented, “I think you got scared a little, your heart is beating fast”. She referred me to a cardiologist for an ECG. The embarrassing part was that my classmates in adjacent operatories could hear everything.

Then, few weeks later I did go to the cardiologist. I honestly did not expect I will be auscultated, I thought they will only take an ECG. Imagine my surprise when they said “ok, doctor will see you now.” Doctor, a very professional guy in his 50s told me to strip to the waist (again - no bra, no gown), and listened to my heart sitting down, laying on my back and on the left side and also after doing 10 squats. For me, being so exposed in front of a man was very embarrassing. I remember feeling as if my hear was gonna burst out of my chest. I remember looking down at some point while stethoscope was on the inner half of my left breast, and I thought it was visibly jumping up and down with each beat. My heart was pounding the entire time and my heart rate was over 110. He heard multiple PVCs and thought he heard a murmur, but wasn’t sure. He also said “your heart is beating too fast, I can’t hear clearly.” I was beyond embarrassed. Eventually he told me to come back in few weeks.

Rocket Queen, your experiences are just... beautiful!

Eventually he told me to come back in few weeks.

Did you come back? If there is more, it would be a pleasure to read.

Eventually he told me to come back in few weeks.

What happened next?
