46 Medical Appointments That Went Off The Rails In The Worst Way

When I was 13, the doctor saw that I had strep throat. You know that little stick they basically shove down your throat to swab it? I hated that test. When she put the stick in my throat, I had a bad reflex and kicked my doctor in the shin. Hard. Most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me in front of her.

There was a lump... Near my g******s. 15 year old me was very concerned and had to go through the awkwardness of telling my mother I had a lump near my g******s and needed to see my pediatrician immediately.

Pull down pants for Dr who sees my impeccably fresh shaven genitalia, sees the lump, and immediately starts to laugh. I had used a cheap razor to get my nads to shimmer and glisten so spectacularly, which had caused an ingrown hair and scist to form. He took a pen and drew the whole thing out for me on the paper atop the table. Wet warm cloth for a few days to bring it to a head and months of my mother awkwardly asking if I was sure everything was still OK "down there".

Went in for a regular check up. I have anxiety so I was getting really nervous just waiting around for the doc to come in the room. Everything goes smoothly and she asks to take my blood pressure so I remove my coat and cardigan. At that moment I see that my blouse had MASSIVE UNDERBOOB SWEAT MARKS that went down to the waistband of my jeans.

Another win for the underboob sweat.

During a physical I casually asked my regular doctor what a red mark was by my mouth.
He was writing something down and without even looking up he said "you drool in your sleep".
I've always wondered how long he knew that information since he didn't even need to look at me to answer.
He was right too. My husband just never wanted to mention it. Lol!

When I was nineteen I went to a new psychiatrist, a man of about 60. In taking my history it came up that I, a female, was dating another female. After he finished the appointment and I got up to leave he said "they never explained in med school, how do women have s*x with each other?".

Had cyst on my tailbone that needed to be lanced and gauzed. Already an embarrassing situation for a young woman. Came in a couple days later for follow up exam and the VERY attractive young doctor said " nice to see you face to face this time". I think he knew he was being cheeky (pun intended) but I was mortified.

It was valentines day at school. I was in 3rd grade and you could pay a dollar to send someone a rose. Every kid got at least one rose, ya know. So at the end of the day there are roses everywhere (when I think about it, they might have been different flowers, are roses expensive?) and we started putting the petals down the backs of people's shirts.

Well later that day I had an appointment with a pediatrician and when she asked me to pull my pants down for the hernia check, a bunch of rose petals fell out of my underoos. I must have fainted because the next thing I remember is my mom and the doctor laughing hysterically and I was laying on the floor.

First time having a whole body scan. The nurse told me to go to a small room and "undress". I did, and as soon as she looks at me she's all like "What the h**l?".

Apparently you are not meant to take ALL your clothes off.

Last May, I got an IUD inserted for the first time. The doc did three pushes to get it in. The first two small pushes were painful but bearable and I nervous-giggled through it. The last push was so bad that I emitted a noise reminiscent of a woman in labor.

And then I squirted blood all down the poor doctor's calf. And not just a little bit either.
The kicker? She just so happened to be wearing a skirt that day, no pantyhose/tights under it either. For a few tense moments, we locked eyes and exchanged horrified glances. Then we both burst into hysterical yet frightened laughter, me attempting to apologize all the while.

Was at a dermatologist at age 18 before heading off to college. I had a few red spots on my chest and she wanted to check "down below" to ensure there was no internal bleeding. While my pants were down and she was checking, the nurse walked in without knocking and had a nice view along with half the waiting room.

The nurse backed out quickly and I received a profuse apology. The doctor had to go prepare a treatment and I got to hear her tear the nurse a new one in the next room.

I was just getting my flu shot and the nurse asked which arm I wanted it in. I was wearing a sweater and I wasn't going to be able to roll it up to my shoulder so I started taking it off to give the nurse access to my arm. She looked surprised and rushed to close the door. I had a shirt on underneath but apparently she thought I was just stripping my clothes off so I felt really awkward the rest of the visit.

It's a constant embarrassment that I have to let each new provider I see that if they stick a needle in me I will probably pass out.

When I was 16 my doctor (who was friends with my mom) mistook my very full bladder for pregnancy.

I had just come back from camp and was brushing my hair, and I felt this weird little lump on the top of my head. So I showed my mom, and we had NO clue what it was. Her thought was maybe it was a tick. She kept of trying to squeeze it and it hurt- really bad. Off to the doctor we go (me slightly freaking out about lyme disease).

Nurse comes in, looks at watery-eyed cnk93, takes one look at lump, prods it with a finger and states "That's a birthmark.".

I went to the ER for constant vomiting and stomach aches.
The doctor asked me when was my last period, I told her that i was born with male g******s. She was embarrassed, I more so.

This was at the dentist about 10 years ago. I was getting teeth pulled and was on laughing gas and super high on it. Apparently I was sick of having his fingers in my mouth because I bit his fingers really really hard. I wasn't aware I was doing it until it was too late. He had to take a few minutes to get his cool back. Truthfully, I regret nothing because who in their right mind chooses to be a dentist?

Thought I had gone deaf, too much ear wax, funny thing is my mum just cleaned mine out again and I can hear so much better, must have been like nearly deaf without releasing for a good...2 years?

I was chief resident on chief rounds with my 4 interns and 4 medical students and my surgical attending asked me what malignancy is associated with Lambert Eaton syndrome, I got it wrong and then he asked the 3rd year medical student who got it right. So embarrassing.

12 year old me getting a routine physical, male doctor asks if I've started menstruating while palpating my abdomen. I say yes, he scoots my underwear down and tries to feel for my ovaries without any warning.

I pooped on a doctor while giving birth. I'd been eating a really seedy bread loaf leading up to labour, so it was really lumpy. They pretended like it didn't happen but I knew.
