Page 8 | Mortified. Pls tell me dr will forget what I did

Dear OP, honestly, the doctor has seen/heard/smelt worse. I knew a doctor who went to give a lady a rectal exam, only to be sprayed with explosive diarrhoea. His biggest concern was how upset SHE was at the mishap. Everybody farts.

StBridget · 26/09/2025 17:57

Don’t worry about it! They hear that all the time. To put you both at ease, you can start with an icebreaker like “Hello again! I’ll try not to fart this time!” 😄

lostfather666 · 26/09/2025 17:57

Don't cancel it doc used to it I done worse at doctors

Oldartist · 26/09/2025 17:51

Don’t give it another thought. Your GP certainly won’t, other than she knows your insides are working! They often listen with the stethoscope for ‘bowel sounds’, she just didn’t need to.

Some days are so boring at work I bet you put a smile on her face.

I once told the Dr I was worried about my stitches (after childbirth). She thought I meant my arsehole - I let her put a finger in my bum and examine it before she fed back about it being healed and I said..... But I dont mean there I mean my vagina? What was I thinking?! What the fuck did she think of me?!!!!

Edited to add I'm pretty sure I will think about this moment on my deathbed.

That was her mistake, not yours, and I'm sure she won't be thinking about it.

Calliopespa · 26/09/2025 09:28

Waiting for the update from op that says she arrives to find all the windows wide open!

Not just teasing op, she'll have forgotten by now. Go to the appointment.

Thanks everyone. It was just as her head was so close to me I felt like I’d attacked her! I know it’s ridiculous but I suffer with terrible anxiety and I just can’t stop thinking about it.

This made me giggle...

CloudPop · 26/09/2025 08:28

@Youdontseehow hilarious 🤣

secureyourbook · 26/09/2025 08:22

She won’t have forgotten about it 😂 but she’s a doctor, she will have seen (heard/smelt) it all before, and worse.

SwedeAtTheFinnishLine · 26/09/2025 08:19

Ahh OP I know it's difficult when you struggle with anxiety, this sort of thing can have you ruminating all night! But hopefully the replies have reassured you that dr won't have been bothered. I'm sure she only jumped because it was a sudden noise.
And even though you'll probably think of it for years to come (I'm sure we all have those memories 😭) she probably won't remember which patients did what.

Hopefully you've been able to ignore the unpleasant people trying to derail your thread and focus on the real responses. It's so rude to bring their grievances from another discussion over here. Some people can't stand the fact that other people might have an opinion that doesn't line up with their personal world view. They seem to become obsessed with proving the "other side" wrong, it's really odd behaviour tbh.

I hope your appointment goes well today!

Italiangreyhound · 26/09/2025 02:14

Your doctor will be well used to all this and won't think twice about it.

My dentist farted during my appointment, I was already in severe pain and it was just the cherry on top of a horrible appointment 😭 🤣

Me too, while I'm mid procedure in the dentist chair, he let a stinking fart rip, it was rotten and lingered in the air.
His breath stank too.
I see a different dentist now.

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

Well you went in there with bowel issues so I’m sure she knows that it wasn’t deliberate ……I would be embarrassed aswell but there is no need to be, it would be different if you went in with eye issues and farted the whole way through the appointment

Scandalicious · 26/09/2025 00:43

Friends with several doctors..trust me, this is nothing. No thing.
Even as a fairly squeamish lay person I wouldn’t give this a second thought, so trust me a doctor will not even have given it a first one.

CopeNorth · 26/09/2025 00:41

In the nicest possible way this is hilarious. I hope you can see the funny side soon. Don’t give it a second thought. I know that’s hard when you live with crippling anxiety. Big love x

You know what else is disgusting? Putting illegals up in hotels whilst British homeless sleep on the streets.

maybe you were farting out your ignorance - that might be on your record?

Agreed.

StElwicksNeighbourhoodAssociation · 26/09/2025 00:18

I hope you go to your appointment tomorrow OP having been reassured by this thread, and I hope they get to the bottom (pun intended) of your issues soon.

I absolutely stand by that comment

Why? We don't put illegal immigrants up in hotels. They get put in detention centres prior to deportation.

You are no doubt aware that asylum seeker are not illegal immigrants.

If it makes you feel any better OP - I went to visit my gynecologist when pregnant with DC and misunderstood his instruction (in another language) to remove my bottom half of clothing behind the curtain and instead walked out into the consultation room with my huge pregnancy norks on full display. He gasped, shuddered then laughed in panic and confusion then reminded me “I Gynocologist”. I had to see him every two week for the remaining 5 months of my pregnancy and every time he asked me to go behind the curtain to remove my pants he would remind me, in broken English, “please please no top off Madam”.

I love this, it absolutely sounds like the sort of thing I would do and also like it should be a scene in a sitcom or film!

Justbobbins · 25/09/2025 23:40

Happened to a friend of mine years ago during a smear test 😳🤣. I was mortified on her behalf. I asked "What happened" her reply "I went red and he went green" 🤣

KidsDr · 25/09/2025 21:32

Believe me it's much worse when you, the doctor, fart loudly during the consultation 😳

My dentist farted during my appointment, I was already in severe pain and it was just the cherry on top of a horrible appointment 😭 🤣

Sasha07 · 25/09/2025 23:32

Sorry OP, I know you started this thread because you were embarrassed but I've really enjoyed reading through the replies. Hopefully it's made you feel better about it, definitely keep up with your appointments and I hope you're sorted soon.

So many things wrong with this post.
Why is the doctor using a stheoscope to listen to you bowels?
Why are you so worried about a doctor hearing your fart, doctors have to deal with all the bodily functions? A fart is the least of their worries.
Surely if you are farting that's good news?

OrwellianTimes · 25/09/2025 23:16

She will have seen way worse.
