Carelessness of Doctors and Embarassed Patients

This happened to my wife during her recent visit to the Dermatologist. She had some small rash under her breast and it was little pain. So she went to the meet our dermatologist at One of Big hospitals in our area and it was atached to medical school.

after examining the rash site the doctor who, a male in his late 40's asked my wife if she like to show her rash to his students. he also mentioned that it is a fungal infection and has some important signs.

Though little embarassed, Tanya, my wife, gave her consent.Then these bunch of medical students , about 20 students, both male and female came into the room and each one of them examin her and asked her question. this took about 1 hour or so. All these time my wife was naked from waist up.

Then the doc asked to students to sit in front him and he took my wife to his side and started to explain some thing which she could not understand nor remember. The doc showed the rash to student by lifting her breast. While explaining things was fondling and bumping her breasts without knowing what is he doing. He was deeply in his teaching. My wife saw students never listning to him. They were trying to stop their laughter seeing what the doc doing to her brests. My wife so embarraased and felt humiliated.

Then aftre some 20 good minutes , the doc understood something was wrong and suddenly realized what he was doing all this time . He said sorry to my wife and tell her that she could go now. She did not wait inside the room even to wear her clothes. She ran awaya from the room and only in corridor she understood she was semi naked. Fortunately one of female students brought her clothes to her in the corrdor and took her to a near by room to dress up.

Knowing that dermatologist very well I know he did not fondle my wife's breasts purposely. He was so careless about his patrient's modelsty.

But can you imagine the feelings of a woman whose naked breass were fondle by man infront 20 young men and women.

I can imagine your wife's embarrassment because I've been the subject of grand rounds myself. However, I wouldn't have let it get that far. The first smile from a student, the first bump or jostle from the doctor, and I would have asked if he was quite finished. After the "official" appointment is over, he's on my time not the other way around and I would refuse to be the subject of ridicule from a group of students. But that's just me.

Hmmm. Tht is just you. My wife is bit shy and submissive. And actually she thougfht the exam was not finsihed for some time.

Well, this is nowhere near as intense, but at the end of my most recent physical, I was standing naked...the doc had just finished the genital exam. He's usually very careful to keep my gown covering whatever he's not examining, but this time he let it fall aside. So I'm standing up on the step at the end of the table, and he says "Everything seems good. You can get dressed then stop by my office on the way out." and he leaves. So for that split second, I was exposed as he opened the door and stepped out.

But almost instantly, reopens the door, and stands with it open and says "Oh! Did you want to get your tetanus and flu shots today?" In the meantime I grabbed the scrunched up gown and held it in front of me, and said "Oh, uh...sure." And he responded "Well then hurry up and get dressed so I can send the nurse in!" and chuckled to himself. The door directly faces another exam room...no one walked by, but the fact that they could have at any second totally embarrassed (and excited) me.

It was my doctor's first day back in the office after a two week vacation and I was in for my annual physical. The exam was proceeding and I was lying on my back completely naked while the doctor palpated my lower abdominal and groin region. There was a knock on the door and it was the other doctor from the practice. My doctor opened the door and the two had a brief discussion, the exam table was directly in front of the door so the other doc had a clear view of my naked body. They finished their talk, my doctor closed the door and proceeded with the exam like nothing had happened. Later as I was at the receptionists desk, the other doctor came by to get a file. He nodded to me and said have a nice day, I think he realized it was me who he had seen on the exam table earlier. While I found it a little embarrassing for being exposed like that, I also found it somewhat exciting that another doctor got to see me like that.

That seems like a very unprofessional doctor to me. I've never had the chance to be on display for med students but if given the chance I would do it in a heart beat. However if I found myself in that circumstance and I noticed anyone making light of the situation I'd cut things short.

Marty, it probably was a little unprofessional, but I did not think of it that way. I have been seeing this doc since I was 17 and am extremely comfortable with him to the extent that I do not feel the need for modesty. He examines me in the nude and I am completely comfortable with it.

Jonathan:

I agree, I did not think this sounded unprofessional. I thought this situation was insensitive to your privacy, but not a big deal. I would have been embarrassed that the other doctor saw me naked but would have been extremely excited about it as well. Does your doctor have you completely naked throughout the exam or was he just down to your genital exam when the other doctor entered?I am just curious, what was the nature of the conversation the two doctors had?

My exams all start out in a gown with nothing else on. The Dr. unties and removes the gown when he listens to my lungs with the stethoscope, naked for the rest of the exam. Rectal exam is done on all 4's (I'd be facing away from the door), would have it embarrassing if the other doc saw me with my butt exposed. Don't remember exactly what they spoke about, just remember it was a quick question regarding a patient of my Dr. the other saw while mine was away.

Johnathan: I think you had a great experience. I wish it would happen to me. I would be thinking about the embarrassment for years.

How embarrassing for your poor wife. It must have been very humiliating for you also knowing that all those people had seen your wifes bare breasts.

I think that many mens greastest concerns when his wife or partner has a medical appointment is that there is every chance that another man will get to see (and feel) what he would rather keep for his eyes only.

Some years ago my wife was referred to a specialist because she was experiencing some soreness in her breasts. I went with her to the hospital and after sitting in a fairly full waiting room she was called into one of the consulting rooms by the doctor. I stayed in the waiting area and after about 10 minutes the doctor left the room and i expected my wife to emerge but a couple of minutes later the doctor came back with 4 young people, 3 male and 1 female all of who turned out to be medical students.

About 20 minutes later the door opened and my wife rushed out. She looked extremely flushed and dishevelled with her blouse not done up properly or tucked into her skirt. Everyone was looking at har as she came over to me and she she wanted to get out.

As we were leaving one of the students came holding her bra, my wife rushed off leaving me to get the bra.

On the way home she said that after the consultant had examined her he told her to slip her blouse back on but to leave the bra off. Thinking that he may need to examine her again she did as he asked not knowing that he had gone to fetch some students.

When he came back with the students he asked her to expain her symptoms to them. She said she felt very vulnerable sitting in a thin blouse talking to a group of complete strangers.

She said the consultant the pulled a curtain round the examination couch leaving the students on the other side of the curtain to give her some privacy and said that he wanted the students to examine her individually to gain experience and disclose their findings.

My wife was mortified said she could feel her face burning as she was again asked to remove her blouse. One by one the students examined her breasts while the consultant watched and corrected their technique.

Eventually she was topld she could dress and leave. She just grabbed her blouse and fled. What made matters worse was that her dishevelled look when she came out and the student following holding her bra nade it obvious to everyone in the waiting area she she had to get undressed for her exam.
