The wierdest thing.

What was the weirdest thing, a doctor/nurse did to you at your urology/gynecology/std/dermatology/physical or any other exam?

Mine was a doctor changed gloves 3 times during the physical exam.

When I first went to my urologist, he didn't use gloves until the rectal exam. He washed his hands in front of me and just did the exam. As I wasn't there for anything communicable AND appeared clean and freshly bathed, what's the point?

Changing gloves is standard practice. Doctors are taught to reduce the risk of contaminating one body part from another by changing gloves. They don't want to transfer fungus from one body area to another and, most importantly, not transfer herpes, genital warts or other local infections from the genitals to the anal area.

During my first urologist exam, the doctor expressed fluid from my prostate during the rectal exam and had me milk the fluid onto a glass slide for him to look at under a microscope. I had no idea what was going on.
