Reversal - did you ever sit in on Dad or Mom's exam?

I know there are questions about who sat in on your exam, but guys....did you ever sit in on Dad;s exam? Girls, on Mom's exam?

I sat in on a few of my father-in-law's exams several months ago along with my mother-in-law.

He had complications following surgery and almost died. I slept at my in-laws for the first couple of weeks after he came home from the hospital taking care of him. I went with them for exams for the first month after he came home.

It wasn't sexy at all. It was very scary. We are all thankful he has been back to his practice and feeling very well.

My wife and sometimes both of us sat in on her parents doctor visits in their later years. An extra pair of ears or two are essential when someone has poor hearing. It also helps keep the patient honest. My wife and I see the same doctor, a true family practice.

I sat in on one of my mom's pulmonary specialist exams a couple of years ago. She's been smoking for 40+ years and has emphysema and less than 50% of her lung function left. Her doctor keeps urging her to quit smoking. I started crying at one point because of some of the things we were discussing, such as the fact that if she doesn't quit and continues to let her condition worsen, she probably won't live to see her grandchildren someday. Apparently my mom has been lying to her doctor recently, saying that she did quit smoking. She hasn't. That's an exam I really wish I could erase from my memory.

I accompanied my father to several consults and tests he had when he became quite old, starting around 85 and later ... he wasn't always up to date on latest medical terminology and procedures and wanted someone along for support and advice.

My sister would have gone with him, but since she is a spiritual/supernatural/believer of Other Realms wacko when it comes to medicine and science, he preferred her absence to her presence.

Not the exams themselves and never parents, but I have enjoyed the exciting pleasure of watching several girlfriends get injections in their shapely bare bottoms.

Interesting - I hadn't even thought about elderly parents. Did anyone sit in on a parent's exam when you were a child or teen or twenty-something?

I often accompany my mother-in-law on her exams, due to her poor memory (85 with strokes). I never stay in the room when EKG leads are attached and do not go with her when she gives urine samples. I take lots of notes, so I can text her 3 daughters about vital info. I have NO desire to see her bare breasts, or behind. I'm a lot like Morgan Freeman in "Driving Miss Daisy".

I've watched 2 wives through labor, shaves, Fleet enemas and through the delivery rooms. I am amazed at how strong women are to go through that more than once.

After my mother had two consecutive broken hips I met the doctor who was treating her in the nursing home (rehab). My mother liked him a lot and said he would be a good doctor for me. I wondered if she was hinting at something. She always sat in on my appointments when I was younger, up to 18, and even now always asked a ton of questions whenever I went to a doctor for anything.

When she got out of rehab I had to take her to see this doctor and I also made an appointment for me to get a physical. A part of me wanted her to stay for my physical but I also was very nervous about it. When she was called by the medical assistant I had to help her to the exam room because she was on a walker. We waited for the doctor, not too, long, and he comes in, a little bit of small talk, and then turns to me and says “I won't be long with you mother so you can start getting undressed.” I was shocked, nervous, and excited all at one time. My mom did not have to undress - the doctor only checked things like her balance and her gait.

I stripped down to my tighty whities and not long after the doctor finished with my mom. She took a seat and the doctor started my physical. For the first time in many years my mother was sitting in on my physical exam again. It felt good to be reliving this childhood experience.
