Embarrassing Doctor Stories

I would love to know, too. Multiple of my knicker also have holes in the gusset, from the inside, and have no idea how that happens.

About 10 years ago I started getting a red, dry rash all over my face. I started taking photos of it in different lights to show the doc for when I booked an appointment, but to save having horrible rash selfies, I saved into into a different folder on my camera phone. It was about this time that phones started to self make little montages with tacky music and weird colour filters. Lo and behold, when I opened the folder to show the doctor, my phone started playing a pre-reocrded video of my rashy face spinning into focus with some gentle pan-pipe music playing. I immediately tried to stop it it, but the lovely doctor didn't even laugh, he probably thought i had deliberately done it and just said 'aww, that looks really sore!'. Mortifying 🤦

When I was 20 I attended an appointment with the practice nurse at my GP surgery for my first ever smear test. At the time I was a medical student, who ultimately planned to become a GP.
The nurse started the appointment by asking the usual sexual health questions, and one of them was "Do you have a regular partner?".

Now, in retrospect it could not be more obvious that she was asking about a sexual partner, but at the time I think just because we were in a GP surgery, and I was an aspiring GP, when she said the word "partner" I immediately thought GP partner. I thought she was asking if I saw the same GP whenever I would come to the practice. So I replied "No one in particular, just whoever is available." She was wonderfully non-judgemental and just noted a little something on my record.
It was about 5 minutes later that, mid procedure and legs akimbo, I realised. I explained what had happened to the nurse and she had to pause the procedure, she was laughing so much.

Not my finest moment.

god I almost choked on my coffee at this one 😂

Had caesarian with DS, in recovery room afterwards cooing over our beautiful new baby, I remember getting really grumpy with the couple in the next bay because the baby had pood and it absolutely stank and was spoiling our magical moment. I called the nurse over all stroppy to ask them to change the nappy.... Nope- the baby hadn't shit herself... I HAD!!! obviously couldn't feel anything from waist down and had no idea it had happened.

Its not stupid! Its natural we feel shy etc. I really hate when women are made to feel embarrased for something so natural. Plus often we have less than ideal treatment so no wonder we dont like getting naked in front of doctors and nurses and get procedures done on our private parts.

Not half as bad as some of these! Anyway.......

I was at the GP. Forget what for - normally high BP/Diabetes or something. Anyway she was asking about what medication I was on (dunno why, just look at the screen!). I blurted out something in my head. She moved her chair back from me so fast it screeched across the floor ! "So you have schizophrenia? " "Er no" "That drug is used in Schizophrenia!". I then told her I worked in Psychiatry and would often photocopy stuff for junior doctors and it always seemed to mention this drug and for some reason it was in my head!!!

She took some convincing and I suggested she look on the screen for details of what drugs I do take..... High BP/Diabetes/ High Cholesterol/Heart failure.. nothing for mental health!

Lakeland Terriers are lovely!
A really ''Old Fashioned'' type dog.

Equafleece are a great make- not cheap, but in my mind the best of the fleece dog clothings. {Don't wash with fabric conditioner is a top tip }

Yes...The Whippet in the Blue is mine- and she is wearing an Equafleece- the little Iggy {Italian Greyhound} is not mine, but has only three legs {missing a foreleg} after an irresponsible ''Dog walker'' subcontracted, and the man she subcontracted to took a huge pack out and let the little Iggy off- and he ran from the pack into traffic.

More Equafleece - {I have tried other makes- and the cheaper Ebay ones are only suitable as indoor house coats in winter}

I would love to know, too. Multiple of my knicker also have holes in the gusset, from the inside, and have no idea how that happens.

HOW does that happen?~~ I too notice occasional small holes in pure cotton knickers in the exact place you describe.
I laughed out loud reading your story.

Had to work myself up to my first smear…stupid I know but never been great about anyone looking ‘down there’

anyway talked myself up saying you’ll never see this nurse in public blah blah blah. So I’m lying on the bed with my bits out ready to go and she says ‘oh sorry can I just confirm your address’ reads it out and it’s incorrect so I say oh no that’s wrong and give her the new one. She then says ‘oh have you got the white Mercedes? I live opposite you’ she then asks if I’d prefer someone else to do the smear so I say….in a state of panic and social anxiety ‘no don’t worry you won’t be the first of the neighbours to see me vagina’ WHAT THE FUCK 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ honestly I wanted the floor to swallow me up.

Nope....haven't read the full thread,but it may be the same story!

After I had my twins via cs, I was bed bound for a day or so and when I had my first shower the midwife told me to keep an eye out for blood clots, as I'd not been upright for a while. I was having a shower and to be fair I didn't have my glasses on. I looked down and there was a massive big red lump in the shower tray. I called the midwife, she got her gloves and carefully picked the lump up, only to discover it was my strawberry soap that I'd dropped and hasn't realised.

When my kids were toddlers and at nursery (I was in my 30s) we were all constantly getting ill- it was a relentless round of colds, flu, throat infections etc After my 4th or 5th cold in a row I started to develop what I thought was an ear infection, it was really painful. I couldn't face another round of anti biotics as they cause upset stomach and I saw on social media that if you put a clove of garlic in your ear it would cure an ear infection and was a natural remedy for infection. So I did. Unfortunately, I promptly fell asleep and it fell into my ear canal. It was agony.

I rang my GP and after some suppressed mirth, she told me to go to A&E. When I got there I told the receptionist in a quiet voice that I had garlic in my ear. She looked puzzled and repeated in a loud bemused voice "you have GARLIC in your ear????" causing everyone in the waiting room to look up in interest. I said yes and then had to wait for 2 hours whilst everyone stared at me as if I was mad. Finally, they called me through to be seen by a doctor- they told me I would be seen by a paediatrician as they had the necessary equipment for removing things from ears. I was then ushered through to the children's department, had to lay on a bed surrounded by Mickey Mouse pictures whilst the doctor suctioned it out of my ear. The doctor could barely contain his laughter. I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life and I do wonder what on earth they wrote on my medical records to this day.

Went for a routine smear.. The nurse mentioned my - ahem- scar... Never even knew I had one there!!

I think you read that on this thread actually 🧐
