Doctor, I Am Fully Naked!
Have you been through medical exam fully naked? How about cystoscopy and/or colonoscopy? What were the experiences like?

New Dermatologist
Return to DiscussionsI went to new dermatologist yesterday. An actual doctor -- rather than a physician's assistant -- and male.
As the nurse was leaving, she got out a gown and told me to put it on. I said, I'm not going to wear that. She said, OK, and put it back.
When the doctor walked in I was sitting on the exam table fully nude. He brought in a female assistant with him. Normally, doctors seem to be very careful about how wide they open the door, generally, just wide enough so they can get through it. Although this doctor didn't just throw it open, it was much wider than necessary. Of course, I don't care. I just thought that was interesting.
I'm sitting facing the door. He cannot miss the fact that I'm nude. Not a word from him or his female assistant regarding my nudity. Just another exam.
That's the way it should be.
Ever since I had my first melanoma my exams have been "FULL BODY" examinations. My habit is I decline the gown -- what a waste -- and remove my shoes and socks to await the Dr. As soon as he arrives I remove my shirt and shorts while we say "hi" and all that.
When he's looked everywhere else and he's ready, I pull down the underwear for his exam of my buttocks and then my front side. Since he's always accompanied by a female assistant, I don't go commando to the appoints, which would be my normal attire.
Not a new dermatologist, but a new assistant on one of my recent visits.
Assistant: Why are you here?
Me: Semiannual full body exam.
Assistant: Will you be taking any clothing off? (I was tempted to ask how I could have a full body exam with clothing on, but I didn't.
Me; Yes, all of it.
Assistant: Then take off everything but your underwear. The doctor will be with you shortly.
Since I wasn't wearing underwear, I took everything off.
