Embarrassing Doctor Stories

[OooSorryDoctor]

Lighthearted….. I went for a 4 mile walk the other week (5 weeks postpartum and not 100% my idea) and could barely walk the next day. Cue painkillers and a day in bed, until a mysterious rash appeared in the exact spot my knee was throbbing. Husband was concerned and said he’d never seen a rash like it, so better submit a picture to our local GP practice.

Long story short they called me in for an urgent appointment and within seconds I was diagnosed with a heat rash from using a hot water bottle 😆 cue a very embarrassed me apologizing for wasting her time 🙈🙈

Make me feel less embarrassed, what’s your best facepalm doctor story?

Not me, but ex ndn. After the birth of her first baby she passed a large clot and pressed the buzzer in a panic to get help because her liver had dropped out.

She added to me ‘it’s what anybody would have thought’…. 😳

😂😂😂

I accidentally licked my dentist's finger! The dental assistant wasn't using the suction in the right place and I had to swallow. Which of course made my tongue lick her finger. I just shut my eyes tighter and thought it would be worse to mention it.

Bleeding hell girl ! hilarious 😂😂😂

Fucking hilarious 😂 what was the reaction when you emerge from behind the curtain?

Please stop don't think I can take much more 😂😂😂😂

This is undoubtedly the best thing I've ever heard.

I doubt thats the first time it's happened to a dentist 😆😆

I have an unusual surname. I went to our GP because I had discharge from my nipple. Large practice, never see the same person twice. I thought I recognised the name on door, but assumed I'd just seen them before, and yes he did look familiar.

He did a thorough breast exam and referred me to the 2 week clinic (all was fine). When he had finished all of that and I was about to leave he said - do you mind if I ask - did you go to XXX college.

Yes I did. 15 year s before I had been at college with him for 2 years. And he had just mainpulated my breasts!!

I had to take DS who was a newborn to the GP and had Dd who would have been around 2 at the time with me.

Now I cannot for the life of me remember why the hell she was not in her buggy but I'd sat her on a chair at the side of the room while the Dr looked at the baby.

When I looked over the Dr's shoulder there was DD licking the wall

Now anyone normal would tell their child to stop it but I was so embarrassed and didn't want to draw the Dr's attention to it I said nothing & DD carried on.

I often wonder if the Dr noticed the wet patch on her wall after we left.

Every GP appointment after that I was well prepared with Peppa Pig loaded on the iPad & of course strapped into the buggy

I had positively disgusting tonsils when I was eighteen and they simply had to go. Cue the appearance of a distinguished and dishy consultant who said that they were the worst he'd ever seen. Then, years later, my sinuses were giving me grief. Yes, yet again, another dishy consultant, this time looking up my nose.

I suppose I should be grateful that I've never had piles ...

All mine are so minor compared to these that I'm feeling much better about them. Whenever I feel embarrassed I can always say to myself at least it wasn't as bad as some of these 🤣

When I was being induced with my first the doc had to manually break my waters. I was off my tits on gas and air and I called him little bo peep, asked him where his sheep were then laughed for about ten minutes at my amazing wit.

He and my husband agreed that the g&a was definitely working.

Then there was the time my eldest was suddenly unable to walk. He'd just crumple onto the floor. We tried to get him to stand several times and nothing. He seemingly had lost all feeling in his legs.

He's autistic and was non verbal at the time so couldn't tell us what was wrong or if he was in pain.

Rushed him to a&e where he proceeded to run and jump round the waiting room.

We apologised and left sharpish. They were very nice about it but I bet they laughed at us afterwards.

Hilarious 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My father in law went to the GP for a prostate check. During the examination he fainted. The Doctor asked ‘does that normally happen?’ My father in law replied ‘I don’t know Dr, people don’t normally stick their finger up my arse’ 😂

So funny 😂😂😂😂

Not me but I remember a poster on here who went to the dentist. He said 'suction' and she thought he was talking her, so she sucked his finger.

sorry attempting to “quote’ to praise this hilarious post !
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻😂😂😂

At med school. During my gp rotation, my gp mentor ended up removing my coil as only a few in the area did it. We did talk about the obvious conflict, but I had no choice really as I needed it out.

My mum is chatty and will talk to anyone and everyone. She was in the waiting room of the drs years ago and saw the woman who lived across the road. They had spoken a few days ago about a bird that had flown into our front window and my mum was nursing it back to health in our garage. (It was fine just stunned).

The conversation was across the busy waiting room and loud enough for everyone to hear. The room fell silent when the neighbour loudly asked me mum "how's your thrush?" And my very innocent mother answered "had a bit of a bang and now it's gone, thanks."

Not actually doctor by pharmacist story... my boss went into the pharmacy and found the girl in the white coat, doing something by the shelves. She thought she'd rather ask quietly there than at the busy counter - "excuse me, is there anything you can recommend for me to use as I have a discharge and I'm very itchy down there". The girl in the white coat said "you should ask the pharmacist. I work in the beauticians next door"

Also a Pharmacy one
DD19 had cystitis and as its hard to get a GP appointment I found a pharmacy that can prescribe antibiotics. DD phoned to check beforehand and then we went in.
Trainee Pharmacist on the till asked if she could help (there were a couple of other customers there and 2 other members of staff). DD mumbled that we had called about antibiotics, Trainee started looking through scripts, DD said "no, I phoned to see about getting them prescribed"
Trainee pointed at her and exclaimed in a loud voice -UTI!!!!

@Tooshytoshine That is absolutely hilarious!

That's not very funny, really. I hope the trainee soon learned the very basics in how to talk to customers. Did they apologise?
Nothing to be embarrassed about obviously, but it's still private.

Part of me did think that it was a bit off but luckily DD found it funny so didn't say anything.
I think she kind of blurted it out rather than deliberately said it. She was very sweet and just a bit over enthusiastic more than anything else but yes I agree she does need a bit of training on patient confidentiality

I keep sheep and also used to be a blood donor,I went to one session during lambing time after a too cursory wash after lambing a ewe.The nurse took a step back in horror as she saw my blood stained arm as I hadn't washed high enough. I also used to have a couple of dogs and kept having food stolen by them but after a red ram's raddle block was stolen I realised only one of the dogs was a thief,the one who produced bright red poo.

You win!
