My Most Recent Physical

I just had my annual physical a couple of days ago. Nothing special, but enjoyable as always. I was having it done by the nurse practicioner, who I've seen before, so not as exciting as being seen by somebody new but I like her. She's probably around 30 and average looks.

It started with me being led back by the med tech to an exam room and her taking my blood pressure and temperature. Then she said "Go ahead and take everything off and she'll be in to see you in a few minutes" as she lays a small cloth lap drape on the exam table. I love hearing them tell me to get undressed, and seeing the lap drape makes it even better knowing I'll be more exposed than if I had a gown.

She steps out and I go ahead and undress,laying all my clothes in a neat pile in the chair I sat in for the BP/temp and sliding my shoes underneath.

So I walk naked over to the exam table, feeling the cold tile floor on my feet, and sit down on the table and lay the drape across my lap. I sat there for about 5 minutes waiting for her to come in, enjoying the feeling of being naked in the exam room. I would have liked for the med tech to come back in for some reason or other, like to tell me she's running a few minutes behind, but no such luck today.

Then the NP does come in, and we exchanges the usual pleasantries before she starts the exam. She starts with the basic stethoscope on the chest and back, followed by the standard Head Ears Nose Throat stuff, followed by having me hold each leg out so she can check my feet and ankles.

Now she has me lay back on the table and she does the abdominal, listening with the stethoscope and palpating.

Now its time for the fun stuff.......

She moves the lap drape aside and lays it on the exam table next to my hip. I have a history of hernias and some other things that have caused me some issues and discomfort in the groin, so she gives my penis and testicles a check,and then tells me everything feels fine, no lumps or anything suspicious. I love hearing her talk about my genitals and thinking about the fact that she's examining them, and since I'm laying on my back I also get to enjoy watching her do it as well.

Next she tells me to roll over on my right side. I know from previous exams that this is her preferred position for the rectal exam, so I know what's coming. I prefer the standing position because I can feel it more, but I still enjoy the feeling of her sliding in to check my prostate. She comments that everything feels fine, and tells me to go ahead and stand up for the hernia exam.

It feels great to stand up with nothing on and I watch as she tests the stool sample from her gloved finger for blood by wiping it on the test strip. Then she changes gloves,sits down on the little stool, and wheels up in front of me so she's sitting with her face only about a foot from my genitals, with her gaze focused right there. I wish you didn't have to turn your head when you cough so I could watch her work, but I wouldn't want people coughing on me either so I just have to watch her out of the corner of my eyes. She finishes up and tells me she doesn't feel any hernias as she walks over to the counter and takes off her gloves and starts adding her notes.

I always wait for them to tell me to go ahead and get dressed, so I get to stand there for another minute or two before she does. I go ahead and dress with her still in the room, then we finish up by talking over my health plan for the next year and when to follow up.

All in all, nothing special or unusual, but in total I probably got to spend about 10 minutes completely naked with a nice NP, so it was great, and I'm glad we both feel comfortable with the whole situation.

I always look forward to my physicals, so now I can start looking forward to next year's.

The last physical i had was an sports physical. I went to the Np because she is a woman. The only thing she checked was hight and weight and Bp. I was looking froward to getting felt up but she said she didn't need to.

I don't consider height,weight, and BP to be a physical of any kind. The med techs in my GP's office do that before I see the doctor and they do it every time you're in there, not just physicals. You got ripped off if you paid for that as a physical.

I fully agree with medfanguy -- any physical examination which does not include a complete examination of the body -- inside and out -- is not worth the name. Stethoscopic auscultation, and other procedures which search out hidden problems in ears nose, mouth, and other orifices, and a thorough skin check for cancer, etc. are vitally important for everyone, on a regular basis. Short cuts may be profitable for the practitioner, but they are ripping off the consumer of health care -- the patient. Find another doctor!

My last physical exam was about 2 weeks ago. it was for for my new job. my exam was shueld for 9/00 am first of all they said do not go pee that morning because i have to have a full drug screen and they had 2 wacth me go pee. then the nurse at the counter gave a sheet 2 fill out. then i returned it 2 her. they checked my hgt and weight.after that they had me get fully undress and put on a grown. yes that include it bra and panties. the doctor witch is a male started the exam did the breast exam and pelvic exam. now it was over they had me put my cloths back on and went over the results.

Nice experience

I want a thorough exam when I go to the doctor and a review of all of the medicine that I am taking. If something bad is going to be found, I would rather it be found out as soon as possible so it is easier to take care of.

Between the various doctors that I see, I seldom go more than 3 months now between exams. Right now I am going to my family practice doctor once a month to see how I am recovering my strength following heart surgery. There are also specialists to see. Really don't need a pretend doctor at this point.

Nurses never seem to perform anything like this on me. >😢

I recently has a physical by a female md. She didn't have me undress and listened to my heart, breathing with my shirt still on which was disapointing. Then, suprisingly at the end she had me drop my pants and did a testicular exam in from of the young nurse (hot) who took my Bp earlier. Do shocked to get a full erection but it was interesting.

Nicely done medfanguy. I could almost feel your embarrassment through your description. I noticed you mentioned the feel of the cold floor under your bare feet. I like to have bare feet for an exam because I love the feel of the floor too. It adds to the cold, clinical quality of the experience. I have only had one real exam with a female examiner and she was an M.D. I love the knowledge that your was done by an NP since it means that a less qualified woman is getting to check out you personal parts. I also liked the fact that a little extra awkwardness was added to the exam since she had you supine for the genital exam, on your side for the rectal, and then standing for the hernia. It would have been much smoother to have had you stand for the genital and hernia and then bend over the table for the rectal. I love awkwardness in carrying out the exam since I think this adds embarrassment. The female who examined me had me in my briefs to begin. She did all the nonsensitive body parts with me sitting on the edge of the table. She then had me supine for the abdominal after which she pulled down the front of my breifs as she was saying "I am going to check your testicles. She felt my testicles but did nothing with my penis at all. Then she said "leave your underwear down and stand up here next to the table" and did the hernia exam. Then she said "get back up on the table on your seft side, facing the wall and I am going to do a rectal exam." Without a specific instruction, I pulled my briefs down a little more as I was getting postiioned since they were just down to my upper thighs. Then I felt the lubricated finger enter me and in about ten seconds it was over. It was apretty good experience that I have thought about a number of times since then.
