So I had an experience not too long ago that was at the doctor that I had never had before. Curios to know if this is a common occurrence, and if anyone else has had anything embarrassing/awkward happen during an exam or while in the hospital. So I recently went in to see my gp for a long overdo physical. By the time I see the physician I have already stripped to my boxers and black dress socks (was right after work) as the nurse instructed. I had felt a little tenderness in one of my nuts. But instead of mentioning that, I wait till the exam is practically done and I'm getting dressed to say something. So the doc has me take the khakis back off and sit up on the exam table. Next thing I know he has me lean back and starts adjusting the table. Although I didn't realize it, the doctor had pulled the stirrups out. Before I even know what's going on he just pulls down my boxers and slides them right off my feet and he puts my feet in the stirrups. I've had many physical exams over the years but never quite experienced that. Laying on my back, basically spread eagle, in a freezing cold doctor's office is a humbling experience. I am not usually nervous about things like this but I have to admit this time I felt very exposed, made some lame joke about how cold it was and shrinkage. What are your cringeworthy moments at the doctor? Anyone else ever been put in stirrups?
