This is a repost of the story that I also wrote for UKGyn.
My wife and I are planning on starting a family and this was her first regular appointment after we started trying. I didn't get a chance to go to her pre-natal appointment last year, but I wanted to meet the medical stuff who will be delivering our child and check them out myself. My wife has a tendency to pick the doctors with the best manners, but after the fact complains on how she was upsold on services she didn't need, or they put extra services on the billing statements, or she was overprescribed meds, etc. Dealing with the American medical system can sometimes be subtly frustrating.
She was wearing a low-cut red dress with no pantyhose and tall leather boots. We entered the practice and there were several women in the waiting area who immediately gave me judging looks. My wife checked in with the receptionist, then we chatted for a while and I made her laugh a lot. The atmosphere in the waiting room lightened, women love a man who makes them laugh. When the nurse called us in and took my wife's bp and weight, I also made her feel at ease by commenting on the funnies they had posted on the boards around the pre-check-up area. Finally, we were shown to the exam room.
The exam room was HOT. The temperature gauge showed 78 degrees F. The nurse directed my wife to the exam table and said to take everything off, leave the exam gown open in the back. I sat down in the visitor's chair. The nurse then asked my wife if she was ok with a medical student following the exam with the doctor. My wife consented and the nurse left the room.
My lovely wife undressed, exposed her breasts and trimmed bush, then put on the gown (I helped tie the back knots, but why bother if it will come off anyway?) and the blanket drape and sat down on the exam table.
We waited...and waited...and waited...
Finally the doctor came in, a friendly short woman, followed by a shy tall medical student. The medical student was a tall female with brown hair. She seemed to not know what to make of me, but I made them all laugh and again the atmosphere was at ease. We spoke for a long time about conception, pregnancy concerns and not going insane with basal temperatures, schedules, etc.
Finally, the doctor asked my wife if she had any other questions - then if I had any question. I said no. Then it's time for the exam. The doctor said that first they will check my wife's heart. She unraveled the stethoscope from around her neck and approached my sitting wife from the left side. Then, strangely, the medical student moved in my wife as well. They said that they will examine her at the same time. While the doctor was listening to my wife's heart with the proper stething points, the medical student just kind of poked around the chest on the right patient side. They listened through the gown. Then they switched to listening to her back, this time bare as the gown was open at the back.
That somewhat perplexed me, usually the student sees the doctor perform and then repeats or vice versa. Instead they were double-teaming my wife and the student wasn't really listening for much.
The doctor took out and unfolded the second stirrup that wasn't out and instructed my wife to put her feet in, which she did. The medical student untied the back of her gown and the doctor asked my wife to lie back for the breast exam. She laid back, the student asked her to remove the top of her gown. As she did so, the student was on her right side of the exam table, the doctor was on the left. The doctor directed her to lift both arms up and the started examining her breasts simultaneously, on their each respective side. I could only see my wife's hands above her head as the student was blocking my view, so I leaned forward to see the bottom of my wife's breasts jiggling aggressively during the exam.
The student finished and went back to her shy position by the far wall, the doctor re-examined my wife's right breast and squeezed her nipple without looking at it as she was talking to the student. They didn't examine the axillae or the clavicular region.
My wife replaced the gown around her breasts and the doctor took a seat in the sliding chair and asked her to move her bottom to the edge of the table. As she was doing so, the doctor took a plastic speculum off the instrument tray and attached a light to it. She quickly inserted the speculum, the student handed her the pap smear brush. The doctor quickly took the pap smear, then took the speculum out. I had moved by the student and briefly saw the opening of my wife's lit up vagina.
After the speculum, the doctor lubed her left hand and inserted her fingers in my wife's vagina. At this point I had sat back down. This entire time my wife had a mostly strained look on her face as she was slightly uncomfortable. The doctor took a quick single pass (and I mean lightning fast) with her right hand above the gown/draping with her right hand for each corresponding ovary and withdrew her hand.
The exam from the stething to the end of the bimanual took less than three minutes by the room's clock. The doctor and student said their good byes and left the room. My wife hopped off the table, took a giant sanitary napkin from a dispenser and started to redress.
We were both really parched in the desert heat of the room and quickly left to get a drink of water.
