Windows in exam rooms

One of my doctors offices has a sliding glass door that looks out into a courtyard that has a fence around it. It is private but if someone peaked through the fence they could see in. Since the parking lot is out there they would know you were a peeper though. He does a lot of gyn and procto exams in this room too.

When I was 9 or 10 years old I used to ride my bike to a local doctors office when they were closed in the evening and look in the exam room windows. Wonder if that had anything to do with my now fetish haha

Our doctors surgery all have windows with vertical blinds, they never close them. If the need to examine and remove any items of clothing it's always done behind a screen so nobody could see from outside, well I hope not it's a busy road lol

The windows In some of the exam rooms in my doctors surgery back onto a train platform as the surgery is in the old train station. I have never had to have an intimate exam in there otherwise it would be very embarrassing. Also in summer or when it's warm they always have the windows open so if your stood on the platform you can sometimes hear part of a consultation going on. If I see a doctor in one of those rooms I always talk quieter been very conscious that someone could be stood on the platform listening to my medical problems lol. Not that I go that often

Growing up my first doctor's office had a big window but always had shades drawn by the doctor when he came in to start an exam.

I remember one physical at my pediatrician being in a room with windows. It felt very exposed, even though no one could see in, and definitely got an erection during the testicular exam. This physical was done by another doctor, since my normal one was on vacation.

Just went to my new doctor last week. There was a window in the exam room with a blind covering it. It face out to the woods behind the office, however there was about 10 feet of grass between the building and the tree line that the mowers just happened to be mowing while I was there. The window just happened to be situated behind the exam table. I was only there for a follow up but when I heard the mowers outside, I quickly opened the blind, stripped naked and laid down on the exam table. I didn’t watch to see if they looked in the window at me or not.

Generally according to my own experiences in France, there was no issue, and nobody could see you from outside by windows, except one time recently in a medical clinic in the third floor where I was examined by a woman doctor

When I stood in front of her in just my briefs, I could notice that face to me behind her desk and the examination table on the right, there was a window which had no closed curtains, so that a person who was on the same level in the building on the other side of the street could certainly see that you were examined but not with a good sight on the body even if the distance was short and in my case, I could see that there was nobody looking in the opposite window.

So no big deal...

it was more embarrassing at school physical examinations because we undressed in briefs in a locker room by group of 12 to 15 boy's students, we had to climb down a few steps to go to the locker room which was a little lower than the level of the coutyard of the school, there was a large window without curtains on the side of the courtyard, so that it was obvious that we could be seen by the large window from other students playing in the courtyard of the school when they came near the window or by teachers walking just outside along the wall near the window..

When I had my standing vulva exam at the clinic the room had windows all along on 2 sides. There were net curtains with gaps though so someone could have peeped in and seen me there with my knickers round my knees and the nurses fingers pushing my lips apart for my exam.

I think the doctors when I was a kid had this. The windows overlooked a field so it was unlikely anyone would have seen anything. If anything was being done to me then I’d be behind the creen anyway - so nothing was showing.

The only other time is when I was going for a chest surgery consultation. We were a couple of floors up, I think overlooking other parts of the hospital, but again by the time I had to romove clothing I was behind a screen.

Alrighty then so you found it exciting for a random person to see you naked. I have been in many high rise hotels that have towers across from me. I will occasionally get a glimpse of someone, usually a fat guy in tighty whities to my great chagrin. One of these days though I'll catch Susie flogging her husband.

IN YOUR DREAMS

Soozie keeps him in her special windowless, underground, locked, dungeon "for his pleasure".

We have windows in practically ever room in my practice. BUT we have discovered these great new inventions called, shades, blinds and even in one room, internal shutters. They help to eliminate this problem. Please feel free to pass this along to the providers involved. Why have windows at all? Well, in an office building in Manhattan it's kind of hard to avoid. But, truth be told, if I ever designed my own place I would still have windows, albeit with coverings. Why? Gives the patient something to look out at while waiting as a distraction and lessens anxiety.

Thankfully no windows. I think if there were I would be sure that no one could see in. I'm easily embarrassed by my body and I don't want any more people than necessary.

I think the natural light has a lot to do with calming people. It makes it more "normal" and less clinical feeling. I think it is a nice touch.

I changed insurance last year and got a new doctor. I thought the exam room that my doctor uses was beautiful; one entire wall was a window that looked out into a redwood forest. It is on the second story and you can’t see anything but trees.

@Allie80 that sounds lovely

@caresabouthealth I thought it was amazing. Actually made me feel better about getting a new doctor.

Look on the voyeur sites , there are actual hidden cameras in Eastern Europe that someone placed in the window of a gyno office.

Normally as an adult I have mainly experienced doctor's offices without a window or having windows which were only" one way ", so that nobody outside could see anything, or but it was very seldom with a curtain which was not closed by errore and left persons who would watch in the opposite building of the streat have a signt inside the examination room, it hapened to me one time but fortunately I did not see any body in the opposite floor of the building but obviously it was possible ..

It was different at middle and high school examinations where we were instructed to undress in briefs in a locker room as a group of 15 boys students or more, the locker room was a few stairs below a court yard and we could be seen by a window from the court yard if boys were playing to a ball game and had to put the ball near the window or were instrucyed during a Pe lesson to run laps all around the court yard and came just near the window at each lap and of course by any adult who was walking by -Pe teachers as well as other teachers or members of the staff but there was very few women since it was an only boy's school !

Same at military induction physical examinations where we could be seen from the windows without curtains by other inductes or non commisioners officers walking in the court yard just close to the window.

At my three military pre-induction physical examinations between 18 and 21 aged, the doors of the examination rooms all along the medical process stayed open, so that we were visible during the examination by the first other draftees of the line against the wall and any officer or non commissioner officer who would walk by the corridors.

I have already replied about my current doctor's surgery (as an adult.....been registered there for 35 years now), but Esaterman's post made me think about Junior School medicals - again. I have posted about the topic extensively....but his latest post made me think back again.

We had our Junior School medicals in the school hall. There was no separate medical room - basically, c. one third of the hall was demarcated by a series of screens (behind which were the school nurses / doctors). Classes of boys (c.20 boys in my class) were sent down to the hall. Once there, we had to strip down to vest / underpants (or just underpants if you were not wearing a vest) and sit on wooden PE benches (ostensibly reading a book which you had to take with you) until you were called to be examined. After being examined (boys being naked by the end) you put on your pants (or vest / pants) and returned to the PE bench. We all had to sit there until everyone had been examined. Then......we could get dressed....and everyone would return to class.

It struck me that we were on view sitting around in just pants or vest / pants for quite a long while. The school hall was a bit of a thoroughfare. So...there were often people like: secretaries / caretakers / other children - girls and boys / teachers / entire classes etc passing through the hall. Not to mention 'Monitors' - quite often girls - taking messages from class to class.

I am sure most of us didn't bother....or even notice too much. Also....one assumes that most of the adults / children passing through did not pay us much attention. I do recall though, some sniggering (which was forbidden of course), particularly when 'Monitor' girls brought in messages for whichever teacher was supervising us. I suspect that some of them might have enjoyed seeing the boys undressed and I think that there may have been some boys who were embarrassed.....innocent though it all probably was. Sometimes....there were girls & others there when you had to walk back from the examination area (sometimes just in your underpants) back to your place on a bench. I also recall that there were feeble protests (quickly and sharply quashed) if we arrived in the hall and there were girls in there when the teacher said things like: "Right boys, take your clothes off and put them under the bench." (or something similar - "Get undressed and put your clothes beneath the bench." They never used the word 'strip'). I think that we certainly did feel indignant (even those of us who were not embarrassed) about effectively 'stripping off' in front of any giggling girls. We did not mind undressing in front of our female teachers....as we were sort of used to that.

Can you imagine the lawsuits that would occur if that were to happen now. With HIPPA laws you can't even share medical information let alone expose someone to the opposite sex. Why do they only do that with boys, never girls. I have heard stories like this but all related to boys and not girls being exposed. Seems like a gender bias issue to me.

Awww...thanks @Moppys Jalopy. Yeah, I guess it simply could not happen nowadays*. This was the UK and the years concerned were 1960 - 1963. I mean....we were only 7 - 11 yrs old back then. It just seemed to be pretty routine. What happened with the girls' medicals in that era is still a mystery. Whatever it was.....they certainly did not go down to the school hall, undress down to their vests / knickers and sit around like that for two hours or so. No....that never happened, that's for sure.

* In later life, I became a schoolteacher (also Juniors). Things had changed - certainly in the schools I taught in (SE England) by 1973. The school doctor had a room assigned for medicals. Pupils had set dates / times / appointments. I recall that boys went off to the room in pairs (their parents could attend if they wished). They would undress in the room (vest / pants) then the school nurse would deal with the first boy before sending him behind some screens to see the doctor. By the time the first boy had been examined, the next would be ready. As the first two were dressing....another pair would arrive. So, it was mostly done 'in private' to some extent. Of course, there were often parents in there (usually their mothers)....so they would have seen boys other than their own sons getting dressed / undressed.....but they would not have seen any nudity. Whether or not the boys had to strip naked for the doctor as per c.10 years previously, I do not know. I certainly never asked them about their medicals!!!

It was discrimination I tell ya, Pure discrimination.

I don't remember any in school exams other than the doctor just checking our throat with that Popsicle stick if there was something contagious going around. However my first experience with being nude and on display to the public happened in the 7th grade. Before that the boys and girls went to school together but beginning with the 7th grade the boys went to one school and the girls went to another. It wasn't to keep us away from each other it had to do with historical happenings. Until 1869 girls did not go to high school so the high school was boys only. In 1869 a philanthropist built a school for the girls so we were separated when I went to high school in the 50s.

The school had three rows of class rooms from front to back and the lockers for gym class were below the front middle room. There were corridors on both sides going to the rear of the building and classrooms were above on the first floor. We left our clothes in the locker room and paraded naked across the corridor to the showers and back. There were three female teachers who commonly used the locker room to cross over to the other side of the building mainly when they knew we were down there taking showers. They were all as old as or older than our mothers so we or me anyway didn't think much of it. When we discovered they were the same teachers all the time some of us made a point of being positioned to give them the best view. Perverted exhibitionists were we and proud of it.

I have been examined in rooms with windows and most had blinds but a few did not. One room was right next to another office building and I wondered if anyone over there could see my exam?

My current doctor has his office on the ground floor overlooking the parking lot and has a window in one exam room. I always wonder if one can see in but the blinds are drawn yet it does make me wonder!

My recent hip exam took place with the window shades half up... Pictures here:

Nope. All of my doctors whose offices are on the first floor only use the window side for reception, waiting room, and other administrative offices. The other ones are on too high floors for anyone to be able to look in.

My doctors office does. It’s a third floor office with large windows and no shades. Was an interesting exam when the window washers are there. Any other time who cares I didn’t care anyways.
