Male patient coughing....heard from the next room

As usual, after the nurse did the preliminaries I was lead to the exam room and told to "undress to your underwear and have a seat, the doctor will be in to see you." As I sit on the exam table with nothing but my white briefs on, I can hear a doctor knock on the door to the room beside of mine and enter.

I can hear the entire conversation through the paper thin wall. I hear the doctor introduce herself to Jason and his mother.

Did you get a look at Jason before or after your exam?

Do you think Jason and his mother heard the nurse working with you and telling you to strip?

Could you tell whether anyone was in that exam room while the doctor was examining you?

I've never heard anyone else coughing, but I did have a strange experience recently. I was realty into CrossFit and was probably lifting more than I should have. Started getting groin pains on one side and was concerned that it could be a hernia so and didn't want it to get worse so I went to my pcp to get it checked out. After a lengthy conversation it was time for the examples nation. He had me stand up against the door of a the exam room and then drop my pants for the exam so that nobody could walk in accidentally. Thought this was strange. I could hear other people talking so I'm sure they heats me coughing.

"examples nation"?

Sometimes auto-correct comes up with some really strange things.

I could hear other people talking so I'm sure they heard me coughing.

How did that make you feel, KNOWING people could hear you & likely decipher what you are undergoing ? And then when you left the room and the people you heard could now see you.....

Oops meant examination

Yes, it was kind of strange knowing that people could led hear me . Fortunately I didn't see anyone on the way out except the receptionist and she knew why I was there anyway.

Exam doc: Yes I did get to see Jason in the waiting room, the nurse had called him back just as I was checking in, that is what made it even hotter, to imagine this almost 6 foot tall, 150 lb boy with shaggy dirty blonde hair standing with an erection when his boxers are down at his ankles. I would imagine that he and his mom did hear the nurse telling me to strip just as I heard his examination. Fortunately for me, my mom stayed in the waiting room during my exam.

I was 17, in the fall of 1973, awaiting my first pre-employment. I was topless, waiting for the doctor. At that time, there were no advance practice nurses, no physician assistaants in common use. You saw a doc!

I was sitting on the table, nervously, when i heard the next cubicles door open, and a gruff male say 'We said STRIP to the WAIST!" I dont know if he had taken off too much, or not enough, but I made sure that I stayed just like I was!

Then, the time came, Drop the pants... then the instructions and the complianrt cough...

Cough...

I remember the stirring, and the fact that I was probably ready for my "male" exam before he even finished next door. Not onlhy the cough, but the entire experience helped lead me to the fantasy and the enjoyment of medfet.

Obviously, I am not male yet there is such a similarity that we share when told to undress in the company of a parent for our physical exams. I have always been tuned into what is said in the hallways going to an exam room and curious when seeing others returning from the bathroom holding their urine sample as their parent, usually a mom, smiles and motions for them to go into the exam room that the nurse requested. Often the parent was told to have her son or daughter undress though there was no way to escape since the nurse made sure it took place!

I always found the room to be a cold reminder of what was to come. Rarely was there any artwork on the walls or warm colors. The walls seemed paper thin. It may have been my imagination or anxiety but I feared others hearing what was to be done to me let alone sometimes hearing a protest come from behind the wall. On more than one occasion, I overheard a mom say, "Oh, he/she won't like that," as their son or daughter had gone to provide a urine sample. I quickly learned that this was an acknowledgement that shots were required this visit.

Whether its coughing, gasping or protesting, we all shared some apprehension for the most part. While erections likely happened for males, females also reacted as well for this yearly event. It's nice to know we are similar even in this respect, "The doctor will see you now." Is there anything that compares to that moment of vulnerability and mixed feelings?

Thanks for listening...........

There are two instances that come to mind for me. I've posted about them recently in a different thread, but this is a great topic so they're worth repeating.

I was in the waiting room when a young man that looked to be of high school age, checked in with the receptionist and had a seat. He was wearing typical clothes that a young man of his age would wear while exercising, basketball shorts and a t-shirt that didn't exactly match. Actually, it's pretty much what a guy his age wears for everything. He was holding papers that were already half filled out, I recognized them as the state high school sports physical release papers. So it was pretty obvious why he was there. He was called back first, I was called back shortly afterwards and was placed in the room next to his. The walls at my doctor's office are paper thin, so while my nurse was doing the preliminaries, we could clearly hear my doctor tell this kid next door that he was going to do the hernia exam. "Alright, just need to do a quick hernia exam. Stand up and lower your shorts... Turn your head and cough... Turn the other way and cough. Good, we're all done." The nurse and I make quick eye contact and give each other a little knowing smirk. I think about hearing that everytime I am brought into an exam room at my doctor's office.

The second instance is not about anything I heard, but rather about what everyone around me heard. I was at the doctor's for a new patient physical. Same office as the one mentioned earlier. My doctors exam room is in the corner of the building. On one side is the office NP's exam room, on the other, just outside the exam room door, is the reception desk/ nurse's station. While waiting in the exam room I could clearly hear a patient and the NP talking in the adjacent room, as well as the nurse and receptionist having a conversation just outside the door. I remember thinking that if I could hear them so clearly that they were going to be able to hear me and my doctor just as well. My examination progresses as expected and soon I hear my doctor give me the commands for the hernia exam. Soon I find myself standing in front of the door, pants and underwear at mid thigh, doctor sitting in front of me, telling me to turn my head to the left and cough. This was the point in the exam that I remember how much can be heard through the walls in this office. I start to imagine the nurse and receptionist sitting just on the other side of this door, picturing me standing here, pants pulled down, exposing myself, coughing, enduring this humiliation. The same thing ran through my mind later as I was bent over the table receiving my first ever prostate exam. At the end of the exam when the nurse came in to give me a shot, it was really hard to look her in the eyes. Not only did she know exactly what was going to happen to me during my exam, but she heard every bit of it too. Very humiliating.

Out of respect for others I try not to overhear what is happening in the next exam room. Regretfully the walls are very thin with little room for privacy so it is, at times unavoidable. I keep that in mind when conversing with the doctor/nurses etc.

School medicals when I was 18 were always conducted in deputy heads office with waiting area outside. We had to change into pe shorts gomin one at a time and you could hear everything that was being said including him saying I will check for hernias now so please turn your head and couch. He also scheck mynforeskin and gt erect . It’s only now that I realise through reading this post my friend would have heard me being congratulated on being well developed and in good health. Oops erection thinking about it.

While I thoroughly enjoy listening to the patient in the adjacent exam room, I find that more difficult to do lately. In the last year or so, my doctor's office has started to play white noise over the speakers in every exam room. The idea being to drown out the conversations in the neighboring exam room. I applaud their concern for privacy, but it does take a little of the fun out of visiting my doctor. 😢

I have not heard it, but I do sit in the waiting room and imagine what all is going on behind closed doors

Working in a hospital you can hear a lot through the walls also! I have gone in patients rooms and they would be laughing about what they had heard through the walls! A man told me the woman next to him was getting a working out. I ask what? He said I can only imagine but she’s squealing! It was a older lady that had come in with a impaction and the nurse was trying to dig it out and she was squealing! 🤣 That’s a nasty job!

I’m sure the guy in the next room heard my exam especially having me cough several times, squat and cough then probably heard the stirrups adjusted and heard him say need to check that left testicle it’s very difficult to find

Can’t sY I’ve ever heard anything from the next room.
