Doctor Seated During Exam

Sorry, misunderstanding: I was describing the hand nails of the doctor and that she often wore quite shirt skirts without wearing pantyhose or stockings, so with bare legs (obviously she wasn't nude...)

As a teenager at the pediatrician, I was always lying down with the doctor standing next to me. Every physical that I have had since then, has been with the doctor seated on a stool. I always think it is interesting, because really the exam is short and the doctor could easily be standing next to me. But seated, he has a perfect line of sight with my genitals.

I feel like I've definitely had a doctor that was seated during a hernia exam. It's weird because they are at eye level with your junk. Later in life The rolling stool things seemed like it would put a doctor in a good position to give a blow job. No that didn't happen.

I don't see how the doctor standing face to face with you while looking and reaching down could possibly be less awkward than having the doctor seated. Examining any body part requires the doctor to be more or less at eye level with that part.

You think we're sitting down because we want to see your genitals? C'mon. We're tired. Get a grip.

What ? You're sitting down because it helps get a better grip on the genitals ?

Imagination can be a powerful thing.

Does your doctor wear snowpants and snaps the waistband of your underwear too?

Snowpants? Red fingernails? Could it be physical?

Get a grip.

Yes, we certainly hope you do get a really good grip -- on our male anatomy. 😃

Yes, I remember this happening when getting testicular exam.

My doctor always has me standing while they sit for the hernia exam, depending upon the doctor they sometimes do the testicular exam before with me laying down.

Through out all my exams growing up. All my hernia exams were done with me standing and the doctor on his rolling stool in front of me. However, my doctor now, has me stand for the genital part but also stands and just bends down to take a look down there.

At a regular checkup the only time my doctor is seated is when he is talking to me before or after the exam. The only examination that he does seated is my pap test.

Doctor is only seated during the intial process of the exam which is the first few minutes. Typically during the consulation portion only

My doctor stands for the entire examination except for the prostrate exam, where she sits, probably so she gets a better angle inserting her finger.

I am always laying on the table. He usually use long time checking my balls and cock

Only once laying on the table. All other times the hernia and testiculat exam were done standing up.

At urgent care, the doctor did my heart, lung, and abdomen exam seated on a stool... it was def a first for me

While growing up, my pediatrician would always sit in a chair and have me stand in front of him while he checked me for a hernia and examined my testicles. My internist (current physician) does the exact same thing for when he needs to examine my genitalia.

Never for the entire exam. All of the doctors that I have ever seen only sit during the interview and hernia exam.

During my physicals the doctor only sits during the interview , during the interview i'm also sitting at his desk.

i have to lay down,on the table. during the exam part. so the doctor is standing in front of the table, so he can examine me.

My doctors almost always sat on their rolling chairs to do a pelvic exam. I would be lying on the exam table, feet in stirrups, while they sat at eye level with my crotch. I figured they couldn't see as well from a standing position while they inserted the speculum and reached in to gouge a sample of tissue from my cervix. One time, my gynecologist asked me to kneel on my knees and elbows on the exam table. I couldn't see whether he was standing or seated during that vaginal exam.

When my doctor has me in the stirrups and is looking at me down there she is always sitting on her stool. I cannot see her but she tells me what she is about to do in each phase.

I have had doctors seated at times during phases of the exam or treatment,. Depends on if I am on an exam chair or table I guess

Seriously, it's all a matter of ergonomics. The doctor needs to be at the right height compared to the body part being examined to perform the exam properly. They can't invaginate your inguinal canal if you're standing and so are they. Same with the DRE if you're bent over the table.

For women, same thing for the genital exam in stirrups.

During the most exams I had in my teenaged time, I was examined first standing upright in front of the doctor while he was sitting on his stool in front of me, and then I had to lie on the exam table. The doctor was sitting beside me on the edge of the exam table or on his chair beside me most of the time, mostly during the auscultations, the long abdominal exam and palpation as well as during the genital exam.

Yes once when I got my belly examined the dr was sitting down the whole time

For my last physical the doctor was seated during the interview part of the exam. She stood up for the most part and then took her seat again when it came time for the genital exam.

The only time my doctor sits down is when he sits own on his little stool to open up the back of my gown to check my bum when I’m bending over to touch my toes. Other than that he examines me standing up.
