At your last physical who told you to undress?

The nurse will walk me into the room and have me sit on the exam table fully clothed and ask the usual questions like name, age, and what brings me in. Then she will take my temp and blood pressure followed by asking about medications and if there is anything specific bothering me. After they give instructions to disrobe either just waist up to completely and if I should keep my boxers on. At this point they either have a gown on the table or chair or she will take one out of the cabinet and hand it to me and give some instructions like open in front and tie at the waist.

My last physical was on Friday morning. The nurse took me back to the exam room, passed me a paper exam gown and asked me to get completely undressed. I sat on the exam table for about ten minutes waiting for the doctor.

The medical assistant usually hands me a gown and tells me to strip. Sometimes they input stuff into computer while I'm doing that. Then take vitals

Always the nurse who brings me back from the waiting room to the exam room. Usually there's some conversation (any changes since last visit, etc.) and vital signs (BP, pulse, temp, etc.) before she tells me to get undressed. Wait for the doctor is anywhere between 5-10 minutes and occasionally up to 20 minutes...not all that bad in the scheme of things, I suppose.

Last time at the doctor, it was a small practice where the assistant did vitals and asked some questions in a cubicle-like area in a hallway. She gave me a specimen container and showed me to the bathroom to give a urine sample. Then, she led me to an exam room and asked me to get undressed, "You can take off everything down to your underwear, and put on this gown." She left while I got undressed, then came back and led me out to the scale just outside in the hallway to be weighed. Then, I waited in the exam room, sitting on the table, for no more than a few minutes for the doctor, a female, who then asked some more questions. I was in the gown the entire exam, lowering it to my waist while the doctor listened to heart and breathing. Later, she asked me to slide my underwear down and lift the gown above my waist when she did the hernia check. Then she said I could pull up my underwear and get dressed, while she finished writing in my file.

I've also participated in a study, since then, which involved disrobing, but not sure that's what is being discussed here.

I'd be very interested to hear about it. Actually, i wouldn't mind participating in one.

The doctor as it was a strip-as-you-go physical

The doctor as it was a strip-as-you-go physical

How did you feel about the strip-you-go format for the physical? I have had a few of them, each done by a different doctor, and found it an effective process for keeping the patient unsure about whether his pants would come down. I ended up having my genitalia examined as the finale of each exam done this way but only found out that it was going to happen at the time it was done.

The intake nurse has always been the person who asks me to undress. She will show me to the exam room, go thru health questions, and then pull a cloth gown, and cloth sheet to put across my lap. She is always clear about everything needs to come off...as if I already not clear about what is going to happen. She then does the same with my husband, but he gets no sheet, just the gown that opens in the back.

I was just at the doctor a few weeks ago. This time she did the first part of the physical then left the room while I took off the rest of the clothes. She left a paper sheet to cover myself with.

I just have one doctor. He tells me to undress only for the genital exam. Pants go totally off

Just had a Physical today. My male doctor has me take everything off even my undies and put on a gown.

Nurse told me to undress and pur the gown on. Kept boxer briefs on. Eventually the gown came off and the doctor asked me to drop the briefs.

At my physical a couple weeks ago, I was told by the nurse to take everything off and put on a gown, but at my wife's physical last week she was told by the same nurse to undress but that she could keep her underwear on.

Would that mean you got your genitals checked, but that for her, that's left for her ob/gyn to take care of ?

Yes JTMac, my genitals were checked as well as I got a DRE. Our doctor handles all of my wife's Gyn care as well but the nurse said they only do pelvic exams every three years now and it had only been two since her last one. As it turned out, she ended up taking off everything. Here is a link to a description of her exam:

When I was about 30 I was fortunate enough to be switched to a new doctor for my annual physical for my company. He was a guy about 40.

As soon as we got through the usual list of questions he told me to undress completely. He sat at his desk watching. He told me to turn round so that he could check my back and spine. He then told me to turn round. He got the full frontal. He went through all the examinations. I eventually had to lie back while he examined my testicles. I was trying everything, only half successfully, to avoid an erection. He asked if I would mind his checking the foreskin, since I would be required to be erect. I regarded that as a bonus and told him I would like to to check everything thoroughly. He put on a little lubricant, and rolled the foreskin up and down a few times before confirming that there was no problem at all.

For the next 10 years or so I always specifically requested the same doctor.

At my last physical, my female doctor told me to put a gown on but leave my underwear on underneath.

The doctor did while taking a history. He told of me to undress down to my underwear. This was unusual for an adult exam as since my teams I have seldom had to strip to my underwear, unless it was to put on a gown

Two physicals ago, for work and a different doctor, the nurse told me to undress after taking a history. She informed me the doctor likes his patients to undress down to their underwear but gave me a gown. I asked if I could skip the gown and was told no. The physical didn't include a genita exam and was not very complete.

Was it a Gentleman Doctor?

You'll find that fantasy has a place here, but not in a discussion of REALITY.

Was just asked to undress by the doctor doing the exam and the only part i had to be fully undressed was the testicular exam

I don't remember the last time some one requested that..........to me it should be an undressed event, but the last several years it's basically no removal and drop them, when it comes to that part. You would think the skin would be worth looking at..........

At my last physical, I wasn't asked to undress at all! Just lifting a bit of clothing here and there during the exam. I'm starting to think undressed exams, particularly for adults, are a thing of the past.

The fully dressed physical may be spreading through the south.

The nurse. Strip. She gave me a robe.

I had my physical last week. Nurse told me to undress to my boxers. She gave me a gown then left for few minutes then came back with the female Dr. I was basically naked by the end of the exam

Whoever shows me to the room has always been the one to tell me to undress and how far. It could be a nurse, medical assistant or receptionist. I really do not care. I want to spend the time with the doctor having the exam, getting questions answered etc rather than have them use the time waiting for me to undress.

At my colonoscopy last week it was the LPN who performed the intake and started the IV.

It wasn't my last physical as we don't get full yearly exams in the Uk . But when I'm in Accident & Emergency it depends how sick I am. If I'm able to stand up and do it myself the nurse who called me into the cubicle will say something like ' remove everything but your bra and pants, put on the gown with the opening at the back and lie on the trolley . There's a blanket on the shelf if you wish to cover yourself ".

If I'm taken into resus then usually I get surrounded by 2 Doctors , 2 nurses and a support worker . They help take your clothes off and get you into a gown whilst protecting your modesty as best as they can . Usually they ask if it's ok that a male Doctor inserts a catheter etc . To be honest I'm so used to it and usually so poorly that I actually don't care .
