Page 2 | Mortified. Pls tell me dr will forget what I did

Honestly @BrisPerm just be grateful you are not on a ward after 10:00pm... it can be a cacophany of farts, underpinned by other patients trying not to laugh and often it is the most staid pts, who trumpet the loudest. And no, you farting will be the least of the GP's worries.

Topseyt123 · 27/09/2025 21:22

Hearing patients farting must go with the territory of being a doctor. It's an occupational hazard I should think. Keep the appointment.

Doctors fart too.

Blogswife · 27/09/2025 20:58

Natural bodily functions don’t phase medical professionals . It’s probably helped your GP to diagnose you so don’t cancel your appointment .

WorkItUpYourBangle · 27/09/2025 20:58

Trust me, this sort of thing is a part of their every day. She will have known you were embarrassed but she won't have been embarrassed. She will realise you have bowel issues. She farts too remember.

I had to go to GP earlier with ongoing bowel issues. She asked me to lay down so she could listen to my abdomen. I laid down, she pressed the stethoscope onto my stomach and I ended up involuntarily farting loudly. She actually jumped back at the sound. Absolutely mortified, I start to apologise and my stomach starts making loud squeaky noises and I end up farting again mid sentence. She remained professional throughout but I’m so embarrassed. I have to go back tomorrow and I’m dreading a) seeing her again and b) it happening again.

DH says will have forgotten all about it. Is he right or just being nice? I feel like cancelling the appointment

If that had been me I'd have covered my face and started laughing. I'm sure she would as well.. People do fart you know.. Even the queen did haha i find it very funny haha

MischievousBiscuits · 27/09/2025 20:45

If its any consolation OP, ive seen a video of a local girl bending over to do an exercise with her PT in the gym and she farted in his face, in front of the whole class!

HevenlyMeS · 27/09/2025 20:44

Yes please don't worry, I completely comprehend & concur with your husband & all those whom so rightly mentioned, she will be totally used to this - Yes it demonstrates your problems with your bowels too
God Bless You
Even without bowel problems, this could happen to anyone
Wishing You&Yours all the utmost very best

Letsbeavinyah · 27/09/2025 20:39

I work in a medical centre and to answer your worry, believe me they hear and see a lot worse then someonevwith wind. Please don't worry, the GP has probably long forgotten your meeting

Bananaandmangosmoothie · 27/09/2025 20:29

Well you probably shouldn’t be a doctor if you’re squeamish about bodies so I’m sure it’s fine.

ohyesido · 27/09/2025 20:25

My sainted mother often farts at inopportune moments, so I make a point of letting one go too so she feels less bad about it.

She has Parkinson’s

ohyesido · 27/09/2025 20:20

She will have seen heard and smelt worse.

Ronb · 27/09/2025 20:09

You should not try to hold back a fart or it will travel up your spine into you head & turn your brain into poo

Donnyboy · 27/09/2025 20:08

Wait until you go for a colonoscopy you will probably do more than fart, after you have taken two lots of preparation to clear your bowels and intestines. Don,t be embarrassed concentrate on finding out what's wrong and get cured xxx.

Lazytiger · 27/09/2025 20:05

Most married women would be used it. She’s a Dr won’t be bothered at all.

Seajaye · 27/09/2025 20:04

At least she knows you have a problem! Bowel issues can be serious so do attend. Hopefully it's nothing serious. Excessive flatulence can be reduced and managed through dietary controls. and she will refer to you to a dietician . Add if it coincides with peri -menopause, welcome to the club!!

Every GP had experienced situations far far worse than a patient passing wind while being examined.

laura246810 · 27/09/2025 19:24

She honestly wont care. Doctors deal with worse than farts.

Styledilemma89 · 27/09/2025 19:18

Have you had children? Once you've given birth and all that comes with it - most people quickly stop worrying about these things!

mrsCtheRed · 27/09/2025 19:12

OP please don't be embarrassed, I can promise you that she will have seen and heard worse.
Years ago, I was at my GPS, being taught how to use the old contraceptive cap.
She was standing at the foot of the examination table, talking me through how to remove it.
I'm there, legs wide, spotlight on, I hooked my finger in it, tugged, and the little bastard shot out of my vag and hit her in the chest!! 🥴🥴
So you see, it could have been MUCH worse 🤣

purpleygirl · 27/09/2025 19:12

OP don’t worry doctors are used to this kind of thing and won’t give it a second thought.

My experience might make you feel a bit better and even laugh. I was at the consultant about my urinary incontinence. After drinking a lot of water I had to undress my lower half and lie on the examination couch. It was a small room with just space at the end of the couch for a chair where his assistant sat. He asked me to cough and urine spurted over the poor assistant! I was so embarrassed😅

gottalottodo · 27/09/2025 19:07

I can imagine Dr’s have a very different view on these types of things unlike us mere mortals. They probably see and hear (😂) things that would freak ordinary people out everyday
