Teaching hospital exam

Not sure I've seen anything in depth here on examination experiences at teaching hospitals. I take my better half to a number of different appointments but got to thinking about how we may run across something interesting by scheduling an exam in a teaching / research hospital. On the way to that appointment shortly. I'll post the experience later tonight. In the mean time would be interesting to hear what others have encountered

So how did the appointment go? Please share your experience.....

I have often been asked to let students watch my examinations.Has never really bothered me they have to learn somehow and somewhere

Jill... does the doctor ever demonstrate, and have a student then try out your exam?

My daughter said at there hospital they had to exam each other for practice and the female teacher was the one who got the gyno exam it is funny listing to the fellow students talking about it. her friend a Asian guy couldn't get his fingers in far enough to her cervix and the teacher said you have to get it in deeper and there talking about this in a restaurant. i was embarrassed to say the least

Jilt,

Does the educational exam give you an extra rush or thrill?

Do you have different feelings during the exam?

Is it a university hospital you visit?

Hope to hear your answers.

I have had a few exams from residents which were always fine, it usually had three people in the exam room (doctor, resident, nurse.)

I'm bit green here and maybe young but I thought they would learn on a kinda latex model ? Where in uk are these training college ...if any ?

The hospital I attend for all my appointments is a teaching hospital . For the last 6 weeks my urologist has had a junior Dr training with him .

I was asked and gave consent at one of my exams previously that this student would examine me along with my urologist .

The first few weeks he just watched and was taken through various exams . Pelvic exam , swab taking, speculum insertion and a vag rectal exam . The last time I seen him two weeks ago the junior carried out the whole exam discussing with the urologist as he went .

Today I have a follow up appointment , so we will see what happens.

I always thought a teaching exam would be a fascinating play scenario, as it would allow the "doctor" to do a thorough/textbook exam as well as demonstrate alternate positions for exams (knee-chest, frog's legs). I also thought it would be one of the few times there could be an opportunity for brief total nudity. I.e. prior to the breast exam, the doctor gets consent and removes the patient's gown, after which he tells the student to look at the entire patient and not just her "parts"; as things like scars, bruises, skin conditions, capillary refill, etc can tell you a lot about a patient's overall health. The doctor could then help the patient put the gown back on and proceed with the exam.

The only problem with attempting such a play scenario is finding an intelligent, mature, respectful, and reliable play doc who is also young enough look the part. That may actually be more difficult than finding willing female patients, as many younger people are still in the closet about their medfet. Additionally, some can't participate because they don't have the means to travel, whereas older play docs are known to travel far and wide in order to accommodate their patients, and they rarely cancel.

Doctor who is teaching the students will do the exam then observe the students on their examination technique.

My wife has been to the medical college and the naturopathic college for annual exams. at the medical college she would see the overseeing doctor and one student. The student just observed both times. but at the naturopathic college she has seen as many as three students at one appointment. that was very hot. usually the lead student does the exam and the others just watch, but a few times the overseeing doctor asked if all of the students could repeat the various procedures.

by the time it was over her breasts were throbbing from the mauling they had received from the clumsy and incompetent students. And she wouldn't have vaginal sex for about three days because they had made her raw from their attempts to get a speculum in and opened.

During the exam she grimaced and kept trying to pull away on the exam table. At one point tears were in her eyes. In the hands of students a speculum really is a torture device

I love her and felt bad about the pain, but god was it hot to watch.

I've heard in the old days students practiced enemas and other invasive techniques on themselves first. I had a nurse use herself to teach me how to do an exam from head to toe. I was ham handed at first for the speculum but after a few times got the hang of it. I think the hardest thing is getting the size right. Too big is very uncomfortable.
