I WENT TO A DOCTOR FOR AN HEMMORROID EXAM. WHEN I HAD EXAMS LIKE THIS BEFORE I WAS ALWAYS LEFT ON MY SIDE AND COVERED UP. THIS DOC CAME IN AND TOLD ME NOTHING ABOUT WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO. HE SAID HE WAS JUST GOING TO TAKE A LOOK TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. A NURSE TOOK ME INTO ANOTHER ROOM INSTRUCTED ME TO UNDRESS FROM THE WAIST DOWN AND PUT A BLANKET AROUND ME LEAVING IT OPEN IN THE BACK. I SAT ON THE EXAM TABLE AND THE DOCTOR AND NURSE CAME IN AND THE DOCTOR LAUGHED AT ME FOR SITTING ON THE TABLE AND INSTRUCTED ME TO KNEEL AT HIS FEET FACING THE TABLE. I COULDN’T BELIEVE THAT I WAS GOING TO BE EXAMINED BENDING OVER THE TABLE WHILE ON MY KNEES. HE TOLD ME TO BEND OVER THE TABLE AND PUT BOTH ARMS ABOVE MY HEAD AND GRAB ONTO THE PILLOW. WHEN I LET GO OF THE BLANKET IT FELL TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS LEFT EXPOSED FROM THE WAIST DOWN AND THE TABLE RAISED ME UP AND BENT ME FORWARD SO MY BUTT WAS IN THE AIR AND THE DOCTOR AND THE NURSE STOOD BEHIND ME AND WATCHED WITHOUT COVERING ME UP. I WASN’T INFORMED OF HOW THE EXAM WAS TO BE CONDUCTED. I WAS HUMILATED AND HORRIFIED BY THE LACK OF RESPECT FOR MY DIGNITY AND PRIVACY. I LEFT THE EXAM FEELING SICK TO MY STOMACH. I GOT SO UPSET THAT I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXAM ONLY TO HEAR THAT IS WAS BASICALLY MY FAULT FOR BEING EMBARRASSED NOT ANY FAULT OF THE DOCTOR. HE CLAIMS IT WAS JUST A NORMAL EXAM. HE SAID HE DIDN’T RELIZE THE BLANKET HAD FALLEN OFF. I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE COULD DO THAT TO ANOTHER PERSON AND NOT CARE ABOUT THIER FEELING AT ALL!

In my late teens, I was sent for a medical for a first job and the nurse gave me the instruction to go in a room, strip to my underpants and wait for the doctor. I was wearing skimpy briefs and thought that was ok. However, when the doctor came in, he wanted first to weigh and measure me and he immediately said remove your briefs and explained that he always examined in the nude for an accurate assessment. As the exam progessed, I relised the necessity for being nude - I had to give a sample in a bottle, my penis was examined top and botton, the orafice checked, my gentitals checked, my anus was examined etc. The rest of my body was checked. I was naked for a good 30 minutes and included raising arms above head, touching toes etc…

Some years ago I was diagnosed with irritable bowel sydrome. I was taken to a hospital in another town. When the doctor came in the room the first thing he did was ask me where it hurts. And at the time I was so shy I didn’t want to talk.

Then after talking to my parents, he proceeded to ask me to climb onto the exam table and stick my butt into the air. “This is what we like to call the canon ball” he said. That’s all he did to prepare me. All of a sudden I feel this pain in my rectum. It lasted about 5 seconds. But all I remember is that it really really hurt. I wanted to cry. He had a glove on, and at the time I thought he pushed his entire hand inside, but now that I think back to it, I’m assuming it was just a couple fingers. It really hurt. I was scared and confused and it was the most painfull thing I’ve ever had.

Hello, I’m a 18 year old guy still in high school. I have to get physical for it every year and we go to the family doctor. Before the doctor comes in the nurse always tells me to take all cloths off so I’m completly naked when the doctor comes in. I have to be sitting on the table and sometimes when the doctor opens the door she is still talking to one of the nurses or looking at a clipbord. So other people can look in. I never liked this part because it is embarresing. Also to be naked in front of my mother and sister. And the doctor always takes a long time listening to my heart and back. Is this normal to have to take all cloths off for a physical? I asked one of my friends and he said he does not even have to take his shirt off…

I’m a senior in high school and had my sports exam at the gym at our school, along with about 125 male athletes on a tuesday evening. Us guys stripped to our shorts in the locker room and came into the gym and lined up against the wall.

Each guy had his vitals taken, blood pressure, temperature, weight & height by a nurse. Then we lined up to see the doctor. The doctor was set up in the corner of the gym, not in a room or with any partition or drapes for privacy. The doctor looked at out eyes, ears, asked a questions. Then we were asked to remove our shorts and he did a hernia check. Finally he did a full body skin check for skin abnomalites like rashes or sores. All in view of all the other guys in line and anybody in the gym.

The problem us guys had with this was the openess in which the hernia and skin checks were done. The principal and vice principal, a female amd male, were present in the gym during the physical. The P.E. instructors came into the gym, 2 males, 1 female. A representative of the HMO that insures the school district, a female, was present. Not to mention the 4 nurses.
