Touching the REAL doctor

Doctors usually touch us everywhere, but it's not often that we get to touch them.

I've been having some weird sensations on my left arm, and yesterday my primary care physician gave me a quick neuro exam. He told me to grab his index fingers and squeeze tight. Then he asked me shake his hands firmly, push, pull, etc. You get the picture. Even though I had genuine concerns and wasn't looking for a cheap thrill, the whole routine was a major turn-on.

In addition, I also realized he has HUGE hands and fingers. I got a good feel of his index fingers and they are long and very thick. This took me back to last year, when he gave me my very first prostate exam. I now knew exactly what had been deep inside me and I finally understood why the experience had been so memorable. I also felt weird and excited that I was grabbing the finger that was in my rectum, is that crazy?

I'm a small guy with tiny hands and two of my fingers together are probably not as thick as his index "dildo." I'm also a play doctor, and now I know my patients get it very easy during the rectal and prostate exams. From now on, I won't feel bad when they whine and wince, because it could be worse! Bend over, spread them, and take it like a man.

I recall at my last physical being asked to grasp my doctor's index fingers as you describe. I guess that is a standard neurological check. I did think it was interesting as I could not really remember touching a doctor like that before, but I can't say I got a thrill out of it. Her fingers aren't particularly large.

Well if it was me, I'd be happy just to get to touch a woman's finger, rather than a man's.

Touching the Dr.

My GP, GYN, orthopedic, PA etc have offered their arm and hand in assisting me to lay down and sit up on the table. I have shook their hands many times. When I have been very ill they have put their arm around me to help steady me.

It depends on the dr for me...a cutie, sure I'll give her a touch in a medically appropriate and asked for way. My interist is nice, but I'd rather he be the 1 touching me!

At the breast exam a doctor may ask a female patient to take his or her hands and lean forward so he or she may inspect the "falling" breasts for clinical signs, and later may ask the patient to rest her hands at his or her shoulders to perform a bimanual palpation ( this may be done with the patient standing or at the end of the exam table and the examiner seated at a lower level ). This 2 steps come in many manuals and I frequently incorporate both at my play exams.

I've had doctors ask me to push against their hands or arms at various angles.

I touch my physicians every time I see them.

I shake their hand. It's just a polite thing to do when you greet someone.

As a couple of people already mentioned, certain exams require you to touch your doctor because they are interested in how much strength you can develop and how ewell you can remain balanced, which is common in many neurological and orthopedic exams.

I've touched many doctors.

When I went to the pain specialist for my coccydynia he did one of those strength test. After he tested my hands/arms, he then tested my legs...nearly knocked him over with that one. Yes, I have ostrich legs, they are very deadly.

My Quickcare doctor usually shakes my hand after each appt.

On to my OB. He always offers his hand to me when sitting back up on the exam table. I would love to be able to give him a hug to express my appreciation. I just don't want to make things awkward if he's not comfortable with hugs.

I was examined for an Achilles tendon problem.

I was lying on the couch on by belly, while the doctor standing behind my feet, was palpating my heel with both hands. He asks me to push on his leg with my toes to pull on the tendon.

I am a sort of touchy feely type of a person I guess, or I used to be more so than I am now anyway. I have become a bit guarded over the past few years, but I guess that would be normal after some of the things that have happened.

Of course when Doc was my real doc I touched him, but only professionally speaking when I was his patient in his office for real medical things. I honestly did try one time to touch him ummm, not quite professionally, and he quickly backed away. I got "the look", and a pretty stern warning about my innapropriatness. And he was correct in doing so.

My current doctor John, I have touched him many times, and he me. He always shakes my hand when he first comes in the room to greet me. We always shake hands when he leaves. John is a light hearted guy, easy going, likes to laugh a lot, and I am the same way. Often times when we are laughing during my appointment I will reach out and touch him, like his arm or something. Also when I leave the exam room and go and stand up front waiting for either my next appointment or for him to bring up my new scripts he puts his arm around my shoulders and then I put my arm around his waste and we sort of do that side hug thing. I always say thanks, and he usually tells me to be good and I always say, "I will try but you know I won't." Then he laughs and I leave telling him I will see him in 3 months.

I had some kidney issues pretty soon after Doc and I started dating so Doc sent me to a good friend of his, a urologist that he trusted. I was in a lot of pain and had 4 rather large kidney stones. Needless to say he would be seeing a lot of me over the next year, and he knew that Doc and I were "really good friends", so he automatically had a close repore with me that he probably didn't have with a lot of his other patients. Besides that, Doc went with me on every appointment and into surgery with me. Him not being there in the moment simply wasn't an option.

Anyway this urologist is very nice, sweet and personalble, plus he knew the place I held for one of his friends and knew that I was in pain and afraid. A few times we hugged each other, but it was out of a common understanding and to make me feel comfortable. I touched him a lot. I remember the very first visit. I actually went alone on that one as I was assured no nakedness would be happening, lol. He was telling me about the exam he was going to perform and told me that he was going to at one point take his fist and lightly pound on my kidneys. "Oh hell no you are not" is pretty much what I said. He just smiled and told me that I would be in control the entire time. When that time came he told me to put my hand on his wrist so that I could help control what was happening. And you have no idea what a difference just doing that made to me.

The morning after surgery he came in at like 7am and I reached out to him with my left hand and he took it with his right then he leaned in and we sort of did a hug thing. That was nice. I had a roommate at that time so I called him doctor. This for some reason made him a bit uncomfortable coming from me, and he promptly told me to call him by his first name. After he finished with me he saw my roommate, she was a slightly older lady about 60ish. She greeted him and the first question out of her mouth was, "so when can I have sex again?" I just sat there silently giggling to myself, not sure why, just did. After he left she pulled the curtain back and introduced herself. Then she started going on and on about how good looking and nice he was. I just smiled and said, "we're friends". What eles could I say? lol.

Then my first doctor well I guess he doesn't count. I have known Dan since I was six, he went to my church and when I got older I was his primary babysitter. I think I hung out at his house more than my own growing up so I touched him all the time and didn't think anything about it. And those are my stories of touching the doctor.

Mashie

I have hugged my doctor before at a mutual friends house party once. I also grabbed him by his tie after i had passed out from a blood test and his lab lady was bothering me. ...i said to him, "get her out of here!" ...I apologized latter. But he knew she was getting on my nerves. I have always wanted to see him shirtless however!!!

Mary years ago I had a very attractive doctor and he gave very thorough exams not like now. I had an accident and my neck was sliced open. I had to see him for follow up and he had me lay on table and he pulled me close and I wound up with my face in his crotch. He was gay and I think he did it on purpose but I didn't ming at all.

I'm a doctor. I don't mind shaking a patient's hand, but, for whatever reason, it is one of my ‘pet peeves’ when a patient touches me otherwise. It is really irritating when I ask a patient “where does it hurt?" and the patient touches my body to show me. The other thing patients will do sometimes is grab my hand and put it on the spot that hurts – that's another no-no. I get to touch you – you don't get to touch me.

On a more humorous note, I have had a female patient ‘swoon’ into my arms. As in … the patient stands up, gets right in front of me and then says something like, “Oh, Doctor! I feel so faint.” And then - the eyelids start fluttering and then the patient literally collapses right into my arms. It's like a bad tv show. Very obvious – irritating – but also a little funny.

This question is very timely for me. Recently I visited my obgyn because I was experiencing horrible itching. He told me that, since he had to examine me anyway, he would also do a pap smear. Who am I to argue? He helped me into the stirrups, did a relatively thorough external exam, and then performed the pap. When he finished, he instructed me to push back and sit up. As I was sitting up, my left foot slipped off the stirrup and landed directly on his thigh. He was professional, acting as if it never happened, but I was very embarrassed - way more embarrassed about that than the exam he had just performed!
