Mortified. Pls tell me dr will forget what I did

I had a stoma reversal a year ago and never stop farting. I would have just laughed it off if it happened to me.

If it makes you feel better OP, shes probably seen/heard/smelled a lot worse.

Even bowels have a mind of their own and act involuntarily, no warnings given - at least you didn't follow through and 💩 yourself - no matter what there's always something worse that could have happened.

After my DD was born the health visitor called to check her over, weigh her etc, I was knelt on the floor & went to lift DD up & one crept out rather loudly - I laughed but she didn't. It happens a lot these days, 20 years on, even in the supermarket of all places - no warning, no force, just involuntary - I just pretend it wasn't me xx

My DM had bowel cancer. She was being examined by a consultant - he asked her whether she was able to pass wind.
My elderly DM was horrified at the question - until the charming Dr said, ‘but that’s a good thing; wind is healthy and nirmal’

So Op, just think of that consultant . What you did told your GP something. Possibly what you ate last night. But something.

You have all my sympathy OP! It's not quite the same but I was in an appointment with our Occupational Therapist the other day with a child I work with and it was very quiet, well the room was, my stomach decided it was time to be very chatty and made the loudest, grumbles I have ever heard, whenever the child was doing a concentration based task it was just audibly gurgling and squeaking to the point of distracting the child - all I could do was awkwardly laugh and apologise! Mortifying! I'm dreading our next session but honestly, bodies are bodies and will do what they want!

For what it is worth, I imagine your GP has heard and seen a lot worse! As much as it's embarrassing, just laugh it off if you can - at least it highlighted any issues you might be having and may help with a diagnosis! Good luck with your appointment tomorrow!

She won’t forget, but she’ll likely use it as an anonymous story to ease the minds of people feeling embarrassed in those situations and to display her professionalism 😂

I will make you feel better. I had to go for a cystoscopy. Before he started the doctor asked if I had any worries. I said yes, I as I was so nervous I was worried I would fart in his face. He just laughed and said it wasn't a problem, I wouldn't be the first or the last to do so, and it was just a body working.

Reader, I didn't, but trumped all the way home in relief!

It will have been forgotten immediately and not of any note I’m sure. Doctors and nurses see all sorts, flatulence is nothing. Don’t worry about it

Doctors fart too.

This is one of the least weird things a doctor will see during their career.

I'm sorry you had to experience this. I can imagine it being embarrassing for you - it would for anyone. Drs are trained to deal with this sort of thing.

You won't have been the first and you definitely won't be the last. I hope you get it sorted soon...

You hopefully helped her diagnose you.
All good.

I'm a doctor. She jumped because sounds are greatly amplified via the stethoscope. Honestly, this sort of stuff happens all the time. It's our job. I don't remember any of it or care or jusge. We are all human. We all fart.

Sorry but she will! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh dear, OP! Hahaha.

Don't worry about it. She's a doctor, she's seen it all before.

You went to her with a bowel problem, she pressed down on your bowel, I would say you farting was a very predictable consequence.

lol i used to be in a choir and one of the other singers husbands was my gp. He rocked up to have tea and cake and watch us sing a few times- once the same day as he’d done a female exam on me. I realised he had probably done intimate exams on just about all of us. I bet we were all dying inside….

Don’t worry! It’s probably a good things as it will tell them a lot about how your bowels are. You probably needed it. I had a colonoscopy and afterwards we were all loudly trumpeting away in the recovery area- icky at first for me but in the medical setting totally normal!!

If you'd heard my mother in the line at Tesco's, farting away quite unperturbed, you'd not be worried. My daughter, however, left the line in stitches.

I went in to be induced with DS2, the midwife was examining me, I coughed and gushed amniotic fluid all over her head and shoulders. I think that was probably worse.

Ds is a Doctor. Frequently gets covered in lots of bodily fluids. It comes with the job TBH. I do not think the Doctor will remember you or indeed find you particularly unusual.

As usual, first comment nails it

Ol, you poor thing. Honestly, she might not forget, but she definitely won't be bothered.

I'm sure she's experienced far worse and there have got to be some parts of the job like this to make it bearable lol 😆

We only remember the “I accidentally sat down on the toilet brush and it got stuck” type incidents…

She'll have seen worse, and if she hasn't yet she will soon.
