Undress

Dit it ever happen you had to undress completely at the start of the examination in the changing room or behind a screen even before you have met the doctor so you had to enter te room completely naked without knowing if the doc would be a man or a woman ?

It probably happens to kids a lot. Anyone can walk in in the practice and a substitute could be working that day who will see you in your underwear or naked when they walk in.

That would be the only situation I see that happening in. As most GP's have gowns waiting for you in the exam room and we're always taught to knock before we come in!

By my paediatrician, it was usual that I had to undress everything in the changing room and got then measurements and weighting completely naked by the nurses before getting to the exam room until I was 15. From 15 to 18 I was allowed to leave my pants on in the changing area, but I had to undress everything else and when I was brought into the exam room I had to take off my pants, too, at once, and wait for the doctor then.

By my dermatologists, I was ordered by the nurses to undress completely everything directily at the beginning after I was brought into the exam room, although the doctor was not in and came some time later. The same was by my regular appointments by the gastroenterologist in the Childrens hospital.

Most of my adult exams have been ones which were mandatory for employers or insurance companies, so, frequently I have been told by a nursing assistant to undress down to my underwear before I ever see who the doctor is. Sometimes I am left in my clothes in the exam room to wait for the doctor and it is he who instructs me how to undress for the exam. I find it really exciting to be stripped to nothing except white briefs before ever seeing the doctor.

I've had to undress before I've known which doctor at the practice I would be seeing. Usually the nurse will only say the doctor will be in which leaves a bit of excitement. Depending on what the nurse says sometimes I leave my boxers on.

I knew the gender of the doctor, but had never met the doctor. I was told by the nurse to completely undress, put on an exam gown, and sit on the table. This was for a physical exam as an adult. It was a little strange to meet the doctor for the first time like that, although it was a male doctor so it wasn't a big deal. Even if the nurse had told me to strip to my underpants only, I wouldn't have hesitated as that has been the most common way I have been undressed for an exam before that and since then. The main thing was that the male doctor came in after I had been waiting in the gown for 20 minutes and sat down in a chair where his eyes were about at my crotch level. He interviewed me about my medical history for maybe 15 minutes before beginning the exam. There was no question that he could see up my short exam gown so the point of wearing a gown at all for modesty was ridiculous. I didn't think about how I was sitting at the time but I was sitting normally on the exam table so with my legs well apart but not intentionally. He saw it all anyway and I wouldn't have cared but I wonder about other patients and their reactions since this procedure was obviously the way he interviewed all new patients.

I have never been told to get completely naked for a real exam but have usually been in my underwear or on a few occasions, in a gown. However, I have been to doctors before that I had never met until the exam and was a couple of times interviewed by the doctor just in my underwear, but only rarely. That does give me a weird feeling, though, for the doctor to meet you for the first time in just your underwear. On the other hand, there have been many exams where the doctor remains in the exam room after he tells you that you can get dressed as he goes over the results of the exam with you. I find those cases to give me a weird feeling as well. However, I suppose that those who have done it that way are trying to save time.

We always know who are doctor is.

The only doctor's office where I had to undress completely and put on a gown and didn't know the gender of the doctor was at the dermatologist. The doctor was female but it wasn't a problem.

No, but at my last physical the PA asked me to remove my pants and underwear while she stayed in the room.

I have always known who the doc is, but he has walked in when I'm in the middle of changing into the gown. Really it's not like your not going to see all of me you can wait!!

I believe as a guy, it's more embarrassing to be in your underwear with a female doctor, than to be totally naked. Something about being in white briefs, with the A/C blowing cold air on your exposed thighs, while a fully clothed, professional female casually talks to you, that is emotionally subordinating!

Not in an exam as an adult, but in my physicals at senior school we always had to strip down in the changing room and walk down to the gym in our boxers not knowing who would be examining us that day.

Only in high school did this happen. Never as an adult.

When i undress the nurse leaves the room after she gives me a cloth gown to put on while she lets my doctor know i am there so i have complete privacy when i change

Never in that exact situation. I HAVE been stripped to my briefs and not known if the examiner would be a male r female,...

I'm usually asked to strip down to my boxer briefs either by a nurse before the doc arrives or by the doc as soon as I meet him. Occasionally I've been asked to "strip to the waist" instead. I can't ever remember wearing a gown.

If it's for a proper exam I've always been asked to either drop or remove my boxers by the end of the exam. I used to dread that bit of the exam but now look forward to it.

It happened to me two years before.I went to the doctor for my regular exam.it made me a bit excited actually.....

When I go to the doctor for an annual physical exam, I always strip naked after the nurse leaves and before the doctor arrives. I remain nude throughout the exam. I never use the gown.

I've had both male and female doctors. There's no difference.

The only time that has happened was in the ER. In both cases the nurse took me to a room and told me to take off everything and put on a gown. The first time was when I was about 12 and the second time I was in my late 50's. When I was 12, the doctor was female which far more unusual in those days and I was mortally embarrassed to have a rectal done by her.

Never has this happened to me and it will never occure so!

I would refuse to undress until I would have met the doctor and also talked some words to him (dressed of course!)

I have had to undress completely for physicals. Both occasions were female docs it was pretty embarrassing and also cold

As a play doctor, I sometimes like to remain in the room while my patients undress as it usually makes it more humiliating for them. As a play patient it is kind of a turn on for me if my play doc remains in the room while I undress and watches me do so. After all, the doc is going to see the patient naked anyway, so it really is no big deal.

Had an interesting first time experience with a new doc. Was seeing this doc for the first time for a physical and had a bunch of health history paperwork that I had filled out prior to the exam. The nurse called me back and brought me into the doctor's office, he was already in there. I sat down and we spent about ten minutes reviewing my paperwork. When we where done he stood up and said, ok, let's step across the hall to the exam room. As we walked in he said, strip down for me, have a seat on the table and we'll start the exam. He stayed in the room making some notes in my charts as I undressed. I did not take off my underwear, he noticed and said boxer briefs off too please. I was a little surprised by that but did not mind. I am not very modest and he will be seeing everything anyway.

I usually have to undress completely in front of my doctor as he does all exams with me naked. We just chat as I strip. However I have a friend who had to undress behind a screen and come out naked for an exam. The nurse had directed him to do this, but when he came out the doctor was male. It was his first time seeing that doctor.

I don't have to undress in front of my doctor. I always get appointments with the same doctor so there is no surprise!

Our conjoint exam is done nude.

This would never happen at a GP surgery in the UK. Normally you have a consultation and then you are asked to remove the clothing necessary for the exam to take place if you have to have an exam ( recently lots of GP dont even do a cursory exam) . This occurs behind a screen or behind the curtain off area of the exam table, once you have the GP then comes in and the exam proceeds.

In a hospital's A&E department you are normally given a gown and ask to undress to your underwear, unless it involves an examination of the genitals then you may be asked to remove your boxers or knickers at the same time. In clinics you are normally ask to undress and put on a gown then await the doctor or are shown into an exam room .

The only exam I remember being completely nude from the beginning, I was in a hospital...specifically, the locked ward.

It was at Camp LeJeune. Although I made no attempts, i was very depressed, and had major suicidal tendencies. I was admitted in the afternoon, and placed in a room that could be seen from the nurses station. (Suicide watch) I had to remove all my clothing. Neither the room or the bathroom had a door, and the mirror was metal. I don't remember if I had a blanket on my bunk or not, but I was naked that whole first night. (The way I was feeling, i really didn't care.)

The next morning, a nurse came in with breakfast (on paper plates with plastic utensils) She stayed with me while I ate, then took the tray and gave me a robe. A doctor came in right after that and walked with me down to an exam room. (Odd that they did the exam in private when I was fully exposed, at least to the staff, the whole previous night.) When we got to the exam room, the doctor had me remove my robe and did the most complete physical exam I ever had. He even checked my gait and spinal alignment. (He actually noticed that my pelvis was tilted, something most doctors missed.) For a psychiatrist, he really knew his physical medicine. There was absolutely NO PLACE he didn't examine. (Including under my foreskin and the DRE.) Once he finished, he had me put the robe back on, and we started talking about why I was really there. He determined that, although I needed to stay for medication and intensive inpatient psychotherapy, I was not, at that time, a danger to myself. I was removed from suicide watch and given back my uniform. (Since it was a military hospital, military discipline was observed. No pajamas during the day, PT (Consisting primarily of walking/running laps on the floor) in the morning. Reveille and Taps were observed. (Up before 6:00 AM, lights out at 10:00 PM) After a few days I was judged to be "safe" for outdoor exercise. (A fenced in area with a basketball hoop, and not much else,) and was given access to the "Slops chest." (A Navy term. It was a closet where previous patients had, either intentionally or accidentally left articles of civilian clothing behind) We could only wear civvies on these "outings."

After a careful review of my medical records, as well as what was said in both group and individual therapy, it was determined that I was no longer fit for military service, and that, indeed, even if these anxiety/depression/psychotic tendencies existed before hand, the military brought it out, and was therefore classified as a "Service connected' disability. (It was noted by this sharp eyed doc that I had had "adjustment difficulties" or "Stress management" issues at every duty station I was at from Boot Camp on. It only took them 10 years to put the pieces together.)

A medical board was convened, and I was placed on the "Temporary Disability Retirement List" I returned to civilian life a broken man. Two years later, the Navy permanently retired me and turned my care (and pension) over to the VA. That was 1991. By 1996, after several more such "vacations" and even a couple of courses of ECT, I was deemed , in VA speak "70% Disabled and 100% Unemployable." which, in non-government-eses means complete disability. (This...condition... could be directly linked to every job I had and left/lost from the time I left Active duty in 1989 until 1996.)

Official Diagnosis... Anxiety Disorder with depressive tendencies, psychotic episodes and PTSD. To this day, I still am on medication and see my VA shrink about once a month. (More frequently if needed. I also have her on speed dial and her e-mail) It took me a very long time to ease my guilt over this. i didn't feel I deserved the same compensation as people who had been wounded or maimed in the line of duty, but I was finally convinced by my doctor that there was no difference, except my wounds are not visible on the outside.
