Someone entering the exam room while changing clothes

It's the fact that so many people know exactly what is about to happen to you once you enter that little examination room. It starts with the receptionist at the front desk. If the nurse lays out some exam gloves and a tube of lubricant for the doctor to use

Well said! I had not even thought of the other office staff who know what you are about to go through. It is especially humiliating if the nurse sets out the gloves and lube in front of you. Very "in your face" move!

Great thoughts on the nurse laying out the gloves and lube!

Great discussion and this reminds of another exam experience. I developed hemorrhoids and scheduled an appointment at my company clinic because we were required to see a company doctor first. They had several doctors and you didn't get to pick one. When my name was called, I went into the room and explained my problem to the first doctor. He didn't examine me and thought it was better to have another doctor in the clinic see me so I went back to the reception room to wait.

When I got to see the second doctor, I told him I had hemorrhoids. He said he would have to take a look and proceeded to call the reception to request gloves and lube. After a couple of minutes, the receptionist knocks on the door and hands him gloves and lube. I was beyond embarrassed because she was the same person I talked to earlier and now she knew exactly what was about to happen! I have no idea why they didn't keep supplies in the exam rooms, and can only assume they wanted to keep a tight control on inventory.

What about all the other people in the waiting room? They may not know exactly what procedures will be performed on you, but I've always loved the thought of whoever is in the waiting room seeing me go in and knowing I'm likely going to be undressing, being felt and prodded, etc. I always think about that while I'm getting undressed in the exam room, and during the procedures. Certainly, heightens the anxiety, and enjoyment for me, especially if I know some of the people in the waiting room.

Of course, that works both ways. I always look around the waiting room and envision everyone in there, male and female, waiting for a DRE, pap smear, breast exam, hernia check, etc.

There were times when there was some overlap when my brothers and I went together for physicals but were not examined together, so that one of us might be done and dressing while the other one gets undressed to start. And I remember one time when I was getting undressed and my dad brought my younger brother into the room after having some other preliminary done.

At age 19 I was having a preemployemnt physical performed at the hospital I would be working at. A young male doctor performed the exam and for the first part I had my slacks on but shirt off. Came time for the hernia check and he instructed me to drop my pants to my ankles. I pulled them down about mid thigh but he insisted all the way to the ankles. I complied. I was standing like that for about 15 minutes as he filled out paper work and finally began the testicle exam and hernia check. He noticed a scar on my upper inner thigh from a football injury and we talked about that for some time, he had to move my balls aside for a better look, my pants still around my ankles. The whole time he was sitting on a stool as I stood directly in front of him a foot away. Just as he stands up and another doctor walks in without knocking. My doctor asked him to look at the scar. He also did a quick testicle and hernia check. By then I was getting semi erect from all the handling.

Afterward when I thought of it i found it erotic.

One of my anxieties is undressing and the fear of someone walking in as I am about to reach for a gown or lying there as my briefs come off and someone knocks on the door! There have been times when the doctor was interrupted often by a nurse needing something of worse returning with a syringe! The feelings associated with vulnerability coming rushing back when these thoughts flood my mind. I suppose it stems from the early experiences and exam procedures having to be undressed, lying there for my temp, and having the doc discuss matters with a parent as if I wasn't there. For the most part these days, privacy is assured or respected. I have on occasion used one of those health stop resources where the exam cubicles have only a curtain to offer privacy. This does nothing for sound and one can easily hear instructions being offered to the patient in the adjacent cubicle. That sure gets my attention even though what may happen to me could be very different. I guess we all like to hear or when possible even see the silhouette of someone behind a curtain.

Not while I was changing. When I was 11 the doctor's assistant walked in while I was lying on the table with my underwear around my knees and thee door to the exam room remained open. I don't think anyone else saw me.

Actually, I've had memorable experiences once while undressing and then before getting dressed. Both happened during my preemployment physicals at their (company) doctors, while I in college. I always had to undress in front of the nurse at my pediatrician office so a it wasn’t a big deal. I was 18 at the time, being rather anxious or nervous mainly because it was my first time with different doctor. As the nurse left the room , the said you will need to undress down to just your underwear. After a few minutes , I was undressed and “adjusting myself” as the nurse reenters the room of course with my hand in my tighty whities.

The second time, same doctors office but with a doctor for this years preemployment physical. He did all the usual checks, then tells me hop off the table and pull down my underwear to my knees. The exact moment as I lower my underwear with my genitalia on display the door opens in walks his nurse. The doctor was still putting on his exam gloves and moving his rolling stool in front of me. He continued with the examination check my penis, testicles and checked for a hernia. I would have appreciated him telling me to expect a nurse to be present and that she would witness me giving a urine sample. You had remained in your underwear until you gave a pee sample. Luckily, there was a bathroom in the exam room so I didn’t have use the one in the hallway.

I was told afterward that the pee test was moved to the end of the exam due to cheating. Some guys were bring “clean” urine samples and keeping it in there underwear.

Given the nature of medical exams, it has always annoyed me that other personnel would walk in without announcement, knocking on the door, or otherwise letter the patient know what was about to happen. In my opinion, this is unprofessional, disrespectful, and I have always told my doctor before any exam that any interruption is not tolerated. He then informs the staff that he is not to be interrupted. I can imagine so few situations where the person barging into the room could not wait for the exam to be completed. There. My two cents.

Yeah, once. I had to get an EKG done, so the doctor told me to take off my shirt and bra and then the tech would be back to do it. The doctor left and I began getting undressed. I had taken my shirt off and had unhooked my bra when the door opened. It was the tech who had brought me to the room initially and he had another patient behind him. He quickly apologized and the other patient turned away immediately. Had they been younger it might have been exciting, but it was just kind of awkward.

This is not being answered by most as a medfetish question, but during "exams" I always make my fetish patient undress in front of me. I also prohibit striptease, as that would give the patient unwarranted control. I don't always require total nudity until the "bottom half" of the exam, but ultimately all my patients are naked, and they are not allowed to cover themselves in any way. I might cover them a bit if they're cold, but usually the exposure to air is a part of the exam play protocol...I see this is a bit off topic, so I apologize if I missed the point.

Never had that when changing, but it did happen during two of my exams. The first time was during one of my school physicals when I was lying down suspine on the exam table, with my undies pulled down to my knees. A female nurse came in at that moment with some documents, but luckily the doctor was standing in front of the exam table and (I believe) she could not see my penis that was fully erect.

The second time was during a physical for work a few years ago. I was undressed to my undies and standing in front of the doctors desk, when a female nurse came in with some blood test results. She kind of did hang around for a couple of minutes, but it was clear that the doctor was annoyed by that. This was also one of the few physicals I had for work and actually the only one for which I had to strip down to my undies and even had to lower these as well at some stage....so maybe the nurse was also a bit surprised to see a patient undressed to his undies at that occasion.

I also want to mention here that I very much liked (and recognized) some of the posts in this thread about going for a physical with the knowledge that everybody there knows (receptionists, nurses, doctors, other patients) what is going to happen, which feels kind of secretive as well as embarassing, especially when all is finished and you leave the doctors office with still a hardon down your pants and the feel that everybody is knowingly looking at you.

I was getting my yearly skin check since I've had several skin cancers and the doctor had just asked me to remove the hospital gown. I dropped it on the chair and stood nude before him. In walked his nurse with a canister of nitrogen to freeze a couple of suspect spots. She remained for the rest of the exam and to help him spray the spots. When the exam was over, the doctor smiled and said, "You handled that well". Then he went on to explain that she had seen almost all of his patients in all stages of undress and was so used to it that she probably didn't notice I was nude. I found it interesting that I wasn't he least bit bothered by her being in the room. I think back on that exam often and rather enjoy it.

Even worse - during the actual exam. I am a nurse that now works on a gynecological ward in a large hospital. Sadly I have a serious gynecological problem that needs to be monitored on a regular basis. When I was in another hospital I would go to the hospital I now work in as an outpatient at a set time. Since moving here I am seen when I am on shift and a doctor become free. I do not bother with a gown to save time, and I have lost count of the amount of times a colleague has put their head around the door to ask me a question when I am in the stirrups.

Thanks for your DM's I love reading them. I am not including everyone in the following statement, but since joining the medical world, what I love and yet fail to understand is that as medical professionals we expect total immodesty from our patients when they are undressed but we do not always practice what we preach, a case in point are our annual physicals. Its single sex and in group,s we go into one of our room, strip down to our knickers and in turn we walk up the physician, hand in our wee in a sealed pot, have our weight, height, BP and heart and lungs checked. It takes no more then 10 minutes, but several of the girls who include not only nurses but doctors and support staff have said they they really feel embarrassed being seen topless by their support workers.

If you had this type of exam, how do you think you would feel?

@Tulip23 my physical takes place with only myself present rather than a group exam, but if I did have a group exam at work I wouldn't be any more embarrassed about it than I was about my classmates seeing me examined in my boxers at school. Then again, we all get changed out of our own clothes into works clothes in the changing rooms before going onto plant on a daily basis, so we see each other strip down anyways. Seeing one another in our boxers is the same level of dress as seeing each other in shorts and shirtless on the beach.

You mention about being seen topless, so if the women have to take off their bras and have their boobs on display in front of others I can understand the embarrassment, but not if they're just down to their knickers and keeping the bra on. Again no difference in the level of dress than being seen in a bikini on the beach.

Not while I was getting undressed, but there was one time the nurse, a slightly overweight woman with large breasts, was looking for my urine sample and she came into the exam room when I was sitting up on the exam table in just my briefs. I thought that was pretty hot. Wish she had stayed in the room a little longer.
