Panty peek at dermatologist?!

@JoyfulSilence a bit humiliating, but, if you feel better, the area they view is really not big.

@JoyfulSilence A friend of mine had that a few weeks ago - and worse, also a prostate biopsy. (I assume that is through the perineum, not the rectal wall.) He described it some detail...

Really, I suppose all you can do is consider that such examinations are routine to the medical staff, and the relevant area is no more body parts and biology than the other end of the system.

@ArishMell i agree to a point, but, i do hope that anyone dealing with my body does understand how important that body part is, and not just a piece of meat. The urologist who did my prostate biopsy was a very attractive young woman. I was far more interested in her track record of doing the procedure without complications! I am a physician, and really have no medical modesty.

@samueltyler2 Oh I am sure they respect you as a person, not just a specimen!

Though a friend who broke a foot bone told of an odd time in hospital.

It transpired the particular injury is very unusual - seen in certain sports accidents but not usually falls as he had suffered. He told us he had consultants coming round saying things like,"Ooh, I've read about these fractures but this is the first I've seen physically!"

I had the impression he wasn't sure how to take this, but he was in the medical profession himself - a radiographer I think.

@ArishMell i was reacting to your comment about a particular part of the body.

@samueltyler2 Indeed - and I'd not exactly be happy about having it done either.

@samueltyler2

Oh, I do not care what people see. I am an old man. When I am at home I usually am in my underwear. I would be nude except I fear the impact of farts on furniture, so need a buffer!

As for when I am with medical personnel, in 2023 I spent a month in the hospital with several surgeries, bedpans, pee bottles, penis and butt catheters, a neck wound sponge attached to suction, puking on myself, pooping on the floor and in my bed, and nurses doing sponge baths, chuck changes, butt wiping, etc.

In the hospital I found the gown uncomfortable so I usually took it off while in bed. One nurse, though, insisted I put it on before she would help me. I had just puked into a bucket yet she was more bother by my uncovered groin than a bucket of puke. Strange. Most nurses did not seem to care at all about my nudity, yet usually they had no choice since they had to keep me clean. There were no showers or baths, it was all towels. Eventually they had me sit in a chair and bathe myself with towels, but I was nude the whole time. Gosh, I missed showers!

I just felt bad in 2023 that they had to deal with all that poop and pee. And the pink fluid from my wound vac.

But the colonoscopy yesterday only had arse juice. That is their business, so they know what they are getting into. I suppose the nurses in 2023 knew what the drill was, too!

The gastro-place is always crowded so they must make a killing! Arse-probers must be in high demand.

"Mommas, don't let your sons grow up to be arse-probers." 😁

@ArishMell

I had a catheter once in the hospital, which they had to pull out and put in several times while I was awake.

@samueltyler2

About getting excited by medical staff: I confess I sometimes looked at my nurses' butts when in the hospital.

Sorry, I was bedridden for weeks. Yet nothing down there worked anymore. I was cathetered at both holes at one point. But my brain still functioned!

@JoyfulSilence Once is bad enough! I needed that while the anaesthetic for a knee operation was still in there. Insertion was painful, but its removal not at all.

@ArishMell

In my case they removed it, then I could not pee. They did an ultrasound and I had a full bladder, so they had re-insert.

This cycle repeated a few times before my parts started working again. Ouch!

@JoyfulSilence Horrible! Perhaps I was lucky that I needed the catheter for only a couple of days, and not repeated. The anaesthetic was a spinal one.
