In what state of dress does your exam end?

Last step is the hernia exam, usually pants to the ankles, not completely off

In underwear with panties lowered a little

Usually, it's just in exam gown with no underwear.

I think it all depends in the kind of exam you´re going to take... a doctor never asked me to take off my clothes to check a pain in my throat.

My last two physicals have both ended with hernia checks. After pulling my pants back up, the doctor concluded the exam and sent me off to the lab for blood work.

The answer can depend on what the patient considers to be the end of the exam. The last part of the body examined or the part just before the doctor tells the patient that he or she is done and the patient can get dressed? The part just before I have been told that I can get dressed has varied more than the last part of the physical exam. Just before the doctor has said that I can get dressed, I have been sometimes completely nude, sometimes nude with my underpants at my ankles, sometimes back in my underpants only and sitting in a chair next to the doctor or sitting on the exam table in my underpants only, sometimes in a gown only sitting on the exam table, and once sitting on the exam table wearing both a gown and underpants. The last part of the physical exam itself is almost always a rectal exam so the next part is just after that, but before I'm told to get dressed.

This raises another question, too. How often does the doctor stay in the room while you get dressed after the exam and how often does the doctor leave before you get dressed? I have had both experiences and most times the doctor stays and continues to talk while I am putting my clothes back on. The doctor is most likely to leave the exam room first if I am in a gown and wearing nothing underneath, although I don't know why this is different than my usual experience where I am nude or nearly nude at the end of the exam and am either pulling my underpants up or getting them off the chair. I have had the experience of not being told to get dressed for several minutes after the exam is over but the doctor is making notes and is still talking about blood work or something else. This doesn't bother me as I have had this happen several times and I sit on the exam table and wait until the doctor is done and finally tells me that I can get dressed.

For most people the final procedure is called a Cashectomy: Clinical separation of currency from the patient.

As Turkent said, the last part of the exam is a wallet biopsy. Actually we collect it up front.

Anyone who performs a service should be paid.

Frequently it is necessary to collect it up front to make sure payment is made.

In my father-in-law's practice, he often has people pay a week in advance of the appointment if the scheduled appointment is more than two or three hours. No-shows lose 50%. Time is money and if you make an appointment you have to keep it.

It's business and there is no fooling around with money.

It was a joke, people...A joke. Sheesh. LIGHTEN UP.

Boy oh boy, let me tell you, when it comes to money, cash, dollars or as W. C. Fields called them - the elusive spandoolas - some people have no sense of humor at all .... ha ha ha.

My father was the same. He could never see anything funny at all about money. It was all far too serious a matter, Life or Death, poverty and the poor house. But then he had the halfway good excuse of growing up during the Great Depression.

I would not mind paying if I had to cancel within a few days. On the flip side, I think I should be compensated for spending hours waiting. As you said, time is money. Does your FIL start discounting people if he is running late?

I have had only one doctor who operated with strip and go, shoes and socks, shirt, etc. Odd because the first time that I went to him in the same office, he had me, or I chose to be in, underwear only. And it wasted time as he waited for me to get to the next stage with s and g.

To David West, because doctors are authority figures, at least those of us of a certain age do what we are told, when we are told, or don't do it until then. I posted about doing jumping jacks with my briefs down at my ankles because the doctor hadn't directed me to pull them up first. I often find myself naked, sitting or standing there because the doctor hadn't given the 'Okay, you can get dressed now.'

Usually the doctor has just finished the hernia and testicular cancer checks, and I'm sitting back on the table holding the paper drape across my lap.

Last item is the genital / hernia exam, so therefore the most undressed, with underpants down, its then 'you can get dressed now' so you know its all over.

There are NPs (nurse practitioners) who request step by step undressing, first the shirt off then undershirt and socks and so on

In a gown and socks usually

I use to finish (and sometimes begin...) my exams completely nude, or wearing only pant pulled down to the ankles.

My last full physical which was about a year ago ended with me completely nude.

With my current doctor, I end up completely naked, which is his comment about whether I put on exam shorts or just keep my underwear on: 'Eventually I'm going to see all of you anyway,' which makes him a prize doctor for me.

'Eventually I'm going to see all of you anyway,'

That's exactly why I don't feel the need to cover-up for the early part of a full physical exam. And that applies to other exams like full-body dermatology exams where you know that you'll end up completely nude by the time the exam is over. I've actually said a similar comment to nurses if they tell me to undress and put on a cumbersome gown ("I probably won't bother putting on the gown since he/she will eventually need to see everything").

And I've made similar comments to my various doctors over the years. I like to start completely stripped with just a small paper drape over me. The only real purpose of that is to cover myself as the door to the exam rooms opens. I wouldn't want to shock someone that just happens to be walking down the hallway! But once my doctor enters and is settled into the room, I will often discard the paper drape altogether ("I guess I really don't need this anymore since you're going to eventually see everything").

Pretty much the same way it began. My female doctor requires a complete state of nudity under the gown and she always finishes with me bent over the exam table for my rectal exam.

My semiannual skin exams at the dermatologist begin & end in nothing but a jockstrap (no gown). The various assistants that have been present are also the assistants to the surgeon during my mohs surgeries. While 2 of them assisting during my surgery two days ago, i was thinking that they're probably thinking that the reason I present myself that way is because I'm that concerned about catching the carcinoma early that modesty doesn't matter. Especially because i do ask the dermatologist to check out certain spots i've noticed (while they're also there), & have had multiple surgeries.

So i think it's a secret that i get a rush from being seen & examined in a jockstrap. Especially because i don;t get an erection and i act normal otherwise the way i function & interact.

JT Mac, and others, I agree. If the patient wears a jockstrap, briefs, nothing, but doesn't show obvious signs of excitement, stimulation, no heart rate increase unexplained, flushing of face, it's usually a whatever reaction unless, unknown to you, something happened once and the staff is on alert. Gowns, afterall, appeared for patient modesty.

Usually with my underpants pulled down to my knees.

I have had both types of exams. Traditionally, my exams have always started with me stripped to my boxers or boxer briefs. The nurse would take my vitals then say "everything off strip down to your boxers". But, as for my college physicals many times it was a strip you as go. Before the nurse left the room she would have me take off my shirt and unbutton & unzip my pants. The exams all ended with penis/foreskin, genital and hernia exams so either way still I had to drop my pants/boxers for the doctor.

(Additional info: These "Real" were unusual exams. The reasoning for only being partially undressed it made the exams quicker. This were semi-group physicals - 1) not totally naked in front of others. 2) you only had to pull your pants up instead of getting totally redressed.

Are you talking real or play exams? In the real, I am rarely fully undressed. In fact, I find that it is very unusual, if not unheard of, to be undressed at all. In the play world, I am stripped to my undershirt only. This enables full inspection and examination of the lower body.

In the last two years I had three exams with andrologists due to ED (probably for psicological reasons). One doc had me strip completely saying he liked to observe the whole body, explaining that if there was a problem with hormones it was easier to asses while seeing the whole body. The two last ones just had me open my pant and get down my underwear a little to check testicles and penis, one while standing up and one while laying town. All three had me laying on my side for a brief prostate exam, and had an ultrasound of testicles and one of the shaft.

It depends on the exam. My annual physical starts and ends with me naked under a gown. The last thing she does is a DRE so I'm most exposed at that point.

At the dermatologist, I wear underwear under the gown and the last thing she does when I'm standing up is to pull them down and have a look.

At the urologist I just end up pulling down pants and underwear for a check front and back.

Growing up it was a mix between having my underwear just lowered a bit or naked. The past couple of years the exams always ended with me being completely naked.

For me it is naked under the gown, in stirrups, and either the rectal vaginal has just been done (every other year) or the bi-manual exam. One courtsey wipe of excess lube and it is hop off and switch spots with the hubby. He ends bent over the table, in the gown, bottom exposed after the prostate and rectal exam.
