Windows in exam rooms

The PCP's clinic had windows on the 1st floor with blinds facing the parking lot, but usually arranged to see outside and not inside. Not like there's much undressing at regular exams there.

The dermatologist's clinic is on the 2nd floor with windows, not likely someone could see from the outside on the higher floor.

The urologist's clinic is in the same lobby as the internal medicine doctors, but the exam room and procedure room (cystoscopy, urodynamics, etc) are all in rooms on the interior of the clinic without any windows. Pretty easy to be undressed there.

I have noticed that exam rooms don't really have curtains in the doorways anymore. Wondering if anyone walking by the rooms caught of glimpse of me on the table with my penis sticking above the drapes with betadine/numbing jelly between the nurse/med assistant stepping out and the doctor coming in.

Wow that's weird. That reminds me of times I have been at a friend's house with a window in the bathroom. I don't remember if there was no blind or the blind was open but I used the toilet with the window uncovered on a first floor. It felt a little funny but the way the window was facing it was unlikely someone would peek it.

It also reminds me of stories on TV where people peak in windows to watch woman undress.

Basically people take the risk of being seen naked through the window. But still it does seem odd that the exam room would not have a blind shade or privacy shield on the windows.

I never had this problem in an exam room.

My pediatrician's office was in a converted house. All the exam rooms on the second floor had a window at the back, but they faced some nearby woods, so unless somebody was sitting in the trees, nobody could ever see in. The couple first floor rooms didn't have windows, but those were reserved for injuries and gynecology visits. Being a male, I never spent much time there.

When they moved to a bigger clinical office later on, the exam rooms no longer had windows which made me more uncomfortable. There was something nice about getting a glimpse of the outdoors and the natural light they let in; it made me feel less trapped and more at ease.

I've never been to a clinic with windows in the exam rooms since.

A few years ago I accompanied a girlfriend of mine to her gynecological examination. We had never gone to this office before. It is a practice built in a residential building in the center of the city in which several gynecological doctors work who share the medical center. I later learned that the practice has 3 examination rooms and 3 offices for the doctors. Upon entering the building we reach the floor and a secretary (nurse) seats us in the waiting room. We were in the late 2020s all wearing masks and the French door to the balcony was open to maximize air exchange, even though it was cold. After about 30 minutes of waiting, the people sitting by the window were called for the examination, and I took the opportunity to sit more comfortably in the chair closest to the French door. Intrigued by the balcony, under the guise of getting some air I left my chair, to which I placed my heavy computer backpack on top, and stepped out onto the balcony, making sure that if anyone wanted to follow me onto the balcony they would have to move their chair to pass and thus make noise. Once on the balcony I start to walk around, trying to stretch my legs, and in the meantime trying to see if the other windows in the apartment had their blinds up or not.

They were all tightly closed, but as I reached the end of the balcony I noticed a large planter placed in the center and noticed that beyond it the balcony turned and continued beyond. Looking back I saw no one, I also noticed that the planter did not impede passage, but seemed put there only to discourage crossing. I walked past and turned the corner. The building along that edge was almost abutting an embankment that ended higher up with a railing. I also noticed a light coming from a window ahead, which evidently did not have its shutter down. Probably the feeling of greater privacy due to the knowledge that having an embankment in front gave the doctors the freedom not to have to lower the shutter at dusk. As I approached with my heart beating at 1,000 beats per minute, I reached the window and saw a thin curtain drawn that did not obstruct the view of the interior. I noticed first a desk with two chairs on one side and an armchair (the doctor's chair on the other). The chairs were empty. I approached again and could then see the center of the room, it was a small room that was very well lit and on the central wall exactly opposite the window was the gynecological chair with the brackets mounted and a girl on it with her legs spread apart.

The girl was wearing only her bra, her partner was standing next to her. The girl was about 25-ish slim, well-defined physique, nice breasts, a very nice butt,defined buttocks and pussy not completely shaved, just a strip of hair in the center.

I had seen that girl in the waiting room before, they had been called about 20 minutes earlier, and I thought what a great girl, I wonder how her doctor enjoys her looking at her there with her pussy spread. I never imagined that a few minutes later I would also see her in the same position as her doctor. I then grabbed my phone, took care to remove any flash and tried to take some pictures, but at that exact moment, my girlfriend called me, it was time for our visit. Heart in my throat, I felt like she was on to me. I put the phone back in my pocket and hurried back the way I had come, just as I was walking the first few meters before the corner, I heard a noise from the embankment railing. I noticed a figure leaning between the bars of the railing, only the top of his face and a hand holding a cell phone could be seen. A gentleman in his 60s had climbed into that dark area from the outside of the property evidently knew the place well and was taking advantage of it to look at some beautiful spread-eagled pussy. In my head I thought various things:

1) I wonder if that gentleman is alone or has a wife who will call him soon.

2) That girl there with her legs open could have been my girlfriend (32 years old very pretty). Now that I know there is an audience in that room, what would I have done if we happened to be in that visiting room? Would I have asked for the blind to be lowered or would I have let others enjoy the private and intimate view of my open and exposed naked girlfriend?

3) If I were not also a voyeur, I would never have discovered the exposure to an outside audience.

4) We probably won't happen upon that visiting room, since it is already occupied, but I wondered if the others also have an open window.

I turned the corner and ran and found my girlfriend in front of the French door with a questioning look on her face asking me, "but where did you go? it's my turn." I got away with a trivial excuse "I had heard two people arguing and looked out that side to see if I should call the police." Fortunately, the excuse was found believable.

Finally we entered the doctor's office, after the pleasantries questions we went to an examination room without a window.

I only have had two exams, my two most embarrassing ones, in exam rooms that had windows.

When I was 13, my first exam after I entered puberty and became very shy about my body, my brother and I had our first exam with a woman pediatrician and our mother accompanied us into the exam room. As we walked into the exam room the nurse began to change the crinkly paper on the table and she lowered the blinds on the window which was right next to the exam table. After the blinds fell she told my mother 'have your sons strip down to their underpants'. Once we were both in just our briefs I was taken to the scale and on my way I saw a full length reflection of myself and I realized that all I had on was a very tiny white pair of Fruit of The Loom briefs. When I was asked to lay down on the table I noticed that the now covered window overlooked my underpants. As the doctor grabbed the front of my waistband and exposed my genitals for all to see I realized that if the nurse had not brought the blind down then anyone .it was a first floor office. walking by could also get a good look at our penises. I imagined how embarrassed I would be if one of my female classmates walked by

When I was 15 my younger brother and I had a male doctor who had us strip naked for our checkups. This was done in an office building (the whole HMO was in the building) on the sixth floor in a suburban area. The chair where we left our clothes as we disrobed was right next to the window. I was wondering if someone in the houses nearby could see into the building with a telescope

Most of my doctors had no windows, but one had a window with oversized blinds to ensure no one could see inside.

My new doctors office has windows. Its is on a ground level building in a nice office/business area next to a higher end housing edition. The exam rooms for the small office are towards the back of the suite. The windows are quite large actually. About waist level and probably 3-4 foot high. The bottom half of the windows have a frosted window treatment. There are also blinds. But if you were to be undressed, you wouldn't been seen and would have plenty of privacy.

The old clinic in town the exam rooms had windows in them. Half of the rooms faced towards the parking lot while the ones on the other side of the hallway faced out towards a open grass area. When ever I was put into one of the rooms facing the parking lot it made me wonder if anyone walking by out front could see in. Especially when the time came for me to drop my pants during that part of exam. The windows had blinds on them but I could always see out around the edge of the blinds as I stood on the floor with pants and underwear down around my knees so I figured if someone wanted to try to see in they would be able to see in as well.

The office where my high school crush used to go had windows in each exam room. I used to think about going to the parking lot to see if I could see in.

I went for a pre-op earlier today, part of the examination was in a room with no windows and a solid door. This included having my height, weight and blood pressure taken then I went into another room for the remainder of the exam.

It was a relatively small room with a completely glass front that looked out into the nursing station/waiting room. Only part of the glass was frosted so it was easy to see what was happening and every word could be heard.

I had to remove my t-shirt where I was stethed very thoroughly in different positions, stood, sat and laid down then have an ECG and a swab of my groin.

Seems strange to do that part in a glass fronted room when the rest was behind closed doors.

It was quite enjoyable though 😀

I wouldn’t think that most people would want to be on display, while being examined. And with today’s “privacy concerns,” is that a potential recipe for a lawsuit, if someone’s confidentiality was violated? I’ve personally never seen an exam room with windows. Some things should be done in private, and respected.

The exams I had as a teenager were done in what you would call a 'raised ground floor' office. If you walked past outside then the bottom of the window would be just above the top of your head so realistically you wouldnt be able to see in but that didn't help the feeling of exposure looking out from inside

The office I occupied before I retired had windows in one exam room but the blinds were always closed.

Most exam rooms are inside, no windows or small high windows. However one doctor's exam room had a floor to ceiling glass window! It opened out into a small Japanese style garden. One couldn't see into other exam rooms. Doctor told me, "Don't worry, no one goes into the garden during the day."

Most of mine have all been inside rooms with no windows

I have had a few that I wondered if anyone could see in. When told to drop your drawers I often forgot about window and focused on female doctor in front of me. Some where 3 stories up some on bottom floor

Pediatrician’s did yes. I used to be so anxious as a teen but there wasn’t much chance of anyone seeing as I remember it all being trees and brush outside. But who knows? It used to worry and excite me.

The pedestrian’s office I was taken to when I was fourteen didn’t have windows looking outside but had two offices with a window with a one way mirror. The clinic was part of a university based teaching hospital where interns trained. ( I understand the clinic has since been remodeled with no windows as groups of students just walk in with the doctor). This was my first visit at this office and unaware of this fact when I was taken there.

I remember it was August and since my father was traveling out of state my mother took me for my annual school physical. My mother invited one of her friends. It was a full house with all the other students and families. I was embarrassed when both my mother and her friend were escorted into the exam room with me while the nurse obtained all my medical information. I was relieved when the nurse said it was time to change into a gown and would escort my mother and her friend to the waiting room. Meanwhile I changed into the gown and kept my underwear on.

I later learned the waiting room was completely full so the nurse said we'll just have to have you wait in here. She escorted them the adjoining room that had the window with a one way mirror for the students. The exam table and all the equipment were strategically placed about 2 feet facing the window. Unbeknownst to me my mother and her friend observed my entire exam.

The doctor came in and started the exam checking my eyes, ears and then asked me to remove the gown so he could continue. I was sitting at the edge of the exam table facing the window as he checked my back with his stethoscope. Then he asked me to lie back and continued with my stomach and abdomen. Then he asked me to remove my underwear so I did. For the rest of the exam I was naked. He thoroughly checked my penis and balls including the pubic hair. It didn’t take long for me to get an erection and the doctor commented it was common at my age not to feel embarrassed. Then he asked me if I masturbated and how many times a day. I told him whenever I get a chance but maybe four times a day, then he asked me to get on all fours on the exam table for a visual rectal inspection. I stayed in that position for another couple of minutes while the doctor wrote on his clipboard. Then he said I was okay I could get dressed. When I got off the exam table to dress I was still hard.

A few weeks later one of my classmates informed me his mom was a nurse at this clinic and what rooms had the windows and to avoid them. Too late for me didn’t say anything. I did get embarrassed later because my mother’s friend had a daughter who was in several of my classes and was happy I chose not to relieve myself when the doctor left the room and told me to dress.

I posted in this thread earlier (post 196) after my dermatologist opened a new office in the same building and I had an evening appointment shortly after they opened this area. The exam room had screen type blinds that, I found out afterwards, allowed people to set in if it was dark outside with the lights on inside.

I went back for an exam today and was booked in the same exam room - the see- through screen type blinds have been replaced with what I can only assume are non-see through screens that appeared much heavier. I'll have to swing by sometime in the early evening and see for sure.

Most of my drs have had windows. Although the current one I see doesn’t have any in her office, but the lobby has plenty of windows with a beautiful view!

Nearly all of the medical appointments I’ve had were in rooms with no windows. The few that had windows were well above ground level with no other buildings anywhere close.

Interesting question. Current primary's office does have windows in the exam room, but there's a shade so you can't see in but it lets the light in. It's ground floor too, so it's not like we're a few stories up.

But the windows in her administrative office, there is a shade but it's left up so you can see in. One night I was sitting in there, working on stuff, she had gone out to put the lab samples in the drop box. She decided to scare the daylights out of me by coming up to the window and banging on it. She was successful in making me jump.

I went for a pre-op earlier today,

I had to remove my t-shirt where I was stethed very thoroughly in different positions, stood, sat and laid down then have an ECG and a swab of my groin.

It was quite enjoyable though 😀

@stethecopelover (or anyone else here who knows ) why a swab of your groin for a pre-op? (Mine was a just a chest x-ray & EKG for a knee scope.)

@stethecopelover (or anyone else here who knows ) why a swab of your groin for a pre-op?

Checking for MRSA before admitting you into the hospital. It used to be common to swab nose, armpit, groin, or rectum. Usually they didn't swab all those areas, maybe just one or two. I believe most hospitals have stopped doing this practice, but not all.

All of the exam rooms I have been in have been windowless.

Oddly, my former dentist's office had a window that looked out onto a grassy area. If someone had made the conscious decision to walk up there and look in the window, they could have seen what was happening in the chair. As far as I know, I was never watched. Like I said, you would have to deliberately walk across the grassy area and stare in the window. It's not like it was facing a busy sidewalk or anything.

In Ukraine, many clinics are located on the ground floors of buildings. If the clinic is old and public, it is not uncommon for the windows in exam rooms to be without blinds or curtains. The windows are just painted on halfway down. Opposite the clinics are often apartment buildings, from the upper floors of which you can easily see everything that happens in the examination rooms. Especially during the dark hours of the day when the cabinet lights are on. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the residents sits near his window with binoculars and peeks.

My girlfriends doctor has windows in his room. Kinda makes me uncomfortable but she's ok with it
