Embarrassing Doctor Stories

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}

Before the menopause I went to change my tampon and couldn't find the string. I'd heard horror stories about tampons getting lodged in the vagina and causing fatal shock.

I went to the walk-in centre and the nurse there couldn't find anything. She sent me to A&E and I had to hand-write a note to the receptionist because the waiting area was full and I was so embarrassed.

I was examined again there and there was no tampon in sight. I was told that it must have just fallen out. Hugely embarrassing, not least because my period at the time was like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

And v relieved I didn't get sepsis

I did this.....left tampon in and had no idea.....had gone to GP about an unpleasant discharge.

Let's just say she opened all the windows wide to let fresh air in

I was mortified!!!

I hoped you laughed and said "I told you so".

My friend spared my ex an embarrassing trip to the doctor. She and I were discussing ovarian cancer, after another friend had been diagnosed with it. Friend was saying how awful it was that it was so often not diagnosed promptly and that women were brushed off and told their symptoms were IBS etc, when the Idiot Ex piped up "I might have that, the doctor says my gutache is IBS."

I couldn't say anything because it was taking every ounce of my self-control not to laugh, but my friend quickly explained that he couldn't possibly have ovarian cancer, due to not being in possession of any ovaries.

I was gutted, I was planning on encouraging him to go and speak to the GP about it. I'd have enjoyed ripping the piss out of him for the next few years.

Maybe it was a case of out of sight (bump hiding everything below) and out of mind!
I've forgotten to take knickers to the pool when I've gone in my swimsuit, and then done the school run commando (tracksuit on thankfully).

Hate to say it but I think it’s from having the occasional itch!

I mean just to clarify not one of the neighbours have actually seen my vagina…well except for her 😂

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.

I toddled off down to his room when he called me, sat down and began describing in intricate detail the pain and how I couldn’t have sex in certain positions as it “was painful, I think because it’s deep…”
The receptionist came bursting in saying “Dr, you’ve left the intercom on”.

One of our GPs once left the intercom on, so the waiting room was treated to part of the consultation before the receptionist managed to stop him. However it was nowhere near as I threshing as this!!

How can you forget to wear underwear? 😮

Gorgeous whippets! I'm very jealous, I love whippets.

And if the blue coat on one of them is an Equafleece, my last lakeland terrier had an identical one, so that brought back some memories.

And this one too!

I was going to say similar. A few years ago I thought I hadn’t removed my last tampon for some reason (I have don’t this before when I’ve taken one out and there still the previous one up there 🤦‍♀️). Anyway I had a good feel around but read online the tampon could be hiding in the folds or something. So off I go to the local walk-in but of course there’s nothing up there at all. Thankfully there was no mention of cul-de-sacs and no junior doctors, and I’m now menopausal so that will never happen again.

I think you read that on this thread actually 🧐

I normally hate hyperbolic posts saying that someone is crying with laughter. But I am literally crying with laughter at this one.

Mine still haunts me to this day.

Early 20s, I was having a lot of pelvic pain.
My GP surgery at the time worked on intercom, so the dr called you in via an intercom that blared out loud in the waiting room.
I toddled off down to his room when he called me, sat down and began describing in intricate detail the pain and how I couldn’t have sex in certain positions as it “was painful, I think because it’s deep…”
The receptionist came bursting in saying “Dr, you’ve left the intercom on”.
The entire (packed to the rafters) waiting room heard it all.
I demanded to be let out of the fire exit as there was no way on God’s earth I was walking back out through that waiting room.

There was another more tame one when I was at the family planning clinic getting a depo shot. I was expecting it to be mild like a normal injection but when they do it in the bum cheek it kills, and I wasn’t mentally prepared. I shouted “fuck me” at the top of my lungs. I got some funny looks when I came out.

Not so much embarrassing…more awkward.

Each time I’ve gone for my smear, the nurses always have trouble getting the speculum in - luckily it doesn’t hurt, but they seem to struggle with it. They’ve asked me to get in weird positions as my cervix is apparently at a weird angle? “can you raise your bum off the chair” “can you ball your fists and put them under your bum to raise your bottom?”
Every time.

Not me but read this elsewhere.....
Woman went to the doctors for a smear- first one, was very nervous. Went to the loo beforehand, there was no loo roll so she found an old tissue in her bag and used that.
Goes for the smear,halfway through the nurse stops and says " Well that's something I've never seen before !"
The woman starts panicking, fearing the worst.....and the nurse produces a first class stamp that had been stuck to her public hair! It must have been stuck to the tissue she used!

😂😂😂

I was left behind a curtain to get my gown etc on before surgery and put the paper pants on my head, as I thought it was a hat to keep my hair covered.... no lie

This is brilliant 😂and has just reminded me about when I came round from an anesthetic and started asking the nurse if ABBA had been in the room because I could have sworn Bjorn was next to the bed singing to me. When she told me sadly not I started singing Waterloo anyway . Mortifying 😭

Many years ago, my ex husband announced that he'd made a doctor's appointment because he'd found some 'weird red marks' on his body.
I had a look, told him they were stretch marks. Fairly new ones, by the look of them. I should know, l've had plenty of them over the years.
He was scathing and dismissive and said he'd 'listen to the doctor, thanks!'
Off he went. Came back.
Stretch marks because he'd put a lot of weight on..... 🙄

Few weeks post c-section with my second baby I developed severe chest pain and shortness of breath, honestly felt like I was dying. My husband called 999, got blue lighted to A&E with a suspected pulmonary embolism or heart attack!

Anyway, the pain started to ease off on the way to hospital so I was already feeling a bit dumb, but after an ECG and chest x-ray the A&E doctor said he could see my bowel pushing on my diaphragm on the x-ray and diagnosed me with a bad case of trapped wind! Mortifying 🤣

Took the then 19yo DS who has SN to the GP with earache. GP said it looked like something was in there so he got some forceps and extracted some sweet corn. He was being his very kind and lovely self and said it might be wax as sometimes wax did look like that. Nope. Definitely sweetcorn.

Fast forwards 12 months or so and we were back having pieces of toenail (DS picks at them) removed from DS 's ear.....GP was equally kind!

Sadly he has now retired, fortunately there has been no repeat incident.
