Excellent find. Thanks for posting.

Very nice link thanks for posting it

Isn't this common in the UK actually? And thanks for sharing?

Yes its normally done in the "frog leg" position, stirrups and not common at the GP's.

Generally speaking in the UK stirrups would only be found in a hospital or perhaps at gynaecology examination with a consultant. Frog leg is the preferred position for genital examination by GP's in the UK.

From my experiences whilst I stayed there, GP's (physicians) normally do not have stirrups, and mine was done frog legged.
