After being told to undress before a physical, did the nurse or doctor ask you to be seated somewher

I have usually been told to undress and have a seat on the exam table, but once when I was seeing a new doctor at the student medical center when I was in college, the routine was not what I expected. The nurse took me back to the doctor's personal office. It was not an exam room because it really had his desk full of papers, a chair behind the desk and two plain wooden chairs in front of his desk, and some bookcases full of medical books. She took my temperature and blood pressure.

I thought it was weird to be in the doctor's personal office, but she just said that the doctor liked to meet new patients in his office. Then she told me to strip to my shorts and take a seat in one of the chairs in front of his desk. After she left the office, I stripped down to my briefs and sat in one of the plain wooden chairs. It was strange to be sitting there like that for several minutes before the doctor came in. He didn't knock or anything before he opened the door and I wasn't sure if I was supposed to stand up and shake his hand but I did. He didn't act like it was anything unusual for a young guy to be standing in his briefs in the middle of his personal office. The doctor sat in his desk chair and made some small talk and asked some questions about my health. I just felt awkward. What I didn't realize was that the exam room was next to his private office and the other door led into the exam room. After he was finished talking to me, the doctor said something like, "grab your clothes and let's do the exam" and opened the other door. I got my pile of clothes and followed him into the exam room where he checked me out thoroughly.

I've never been in a situation like that. But it sounds like the added interview with the doctor in his office would add to the embarrassment.

Nothing unusual to report. The nurse instructs me to strip to my underwear. I then wait on the exam table for my doctor to arrive then the fun begins.

I think dr saying to undress to underwear for preliminary checks is best. Then the fun starts.

That may unusual now but wasn't that unusual years ago. I remember one doctor's office where he had a desk next to the wall in the exam room with a chair for him and one for the patient next to desk. I was undressed to my underwear for the whole exam. At the end, once I had pulled my briefs back up, the doctor told me to have a seat in the chair next to his desk while he sat and made notes. I'm not sure why he asked me to sit there instead of the exam table but I sat and watched him for several minutes. I thought that maybe the exam wasn't over but all he did at the end of his writing notes was tell me to get dressed and leave a urine sample on my way out.

BTW, no female would ever be asked to undress and sit in her panties only on an exam table or in a chair to be interviewed by a doctor. Miked's situation of meeting a doctor for the first time while sitting in his underpants would never happen to the opposite sex.

I have always been told by many different doctors or their nurses to strip to my undershorts or just to take my shirt off and have a seat on the table. I love recalling how it felt to get the instruction and the anxiety it created knowing the embarrassment was coming soon.

Same as most people I would guess. Undress down to my panties, put on the gown and then sit on the exam table and wait.

Usually instructed to take a seat on the exam table. This is after I've been instructed to undress and told how to wear the gown.

I have had exams which started with an interview sat at the doctor's desk. Usually on the first time I have seen that particular doctor or where it's an exam for insurance or a job. I have always been fully clothed though like they idea of sitting at the desk in just underwear across from the doctor 😃

Last june 3rd to june 13 i was in the hospital for 10 days--before going to the operating room i had to remove all my jewlery--necklase-- rings, not my watch-- they said, with any surgery there are certain risks--excess bleeding death-ect-- well i was told they almost lost me during a major gallbladder surgery that took 5 hours...

When I was 12 we switched to a new doctor as my old pediatrician died from a sudden heart attack. My mom arranged for us to see a doctor that had removed my grandmother's gall bladder as a favor since we needed a check up for school. I only saw him once along with my brother. He took us into his office and asked mom questions and then had me to into the exam room with the nurse where I was told to remove everything. Mom made sure I obeyed but it was really the first time that I had to be nude at the start of the exam. The nurse had me lean forward onto the table and took a rectal temp, I was veryembarassed by that but did as I was told. The exam was rather basic but just totally embarassing being nude in front of this new doc. When it was his turn, my brother got the same exam and clearly didnt like having to show all. I had of course left the room when he went in.
