stripped down to underwear for medical exam?

[helohelo]

Hi all, this is a bit weird but i just had my medical exam today. Here's my experience... i arrived at the medical clinic and filled out some forms, took urine sample, and then was led into a room where the old lady (im male ) told me to stripped down to my boxer. I was like what the heck nobody every mentioned this me before. but i still did after the old lady left. when i was sitting on the chair in my underwear only that old lady opened the door again and told me to lie down on that table. so i did and a bit later a doctor (male) walked in and measured my blood pressure, listened to my heart beat and my back, asked me to read something on the wall and said i was ok to leave. so i left and took the x-ray from another office.

anyway what i was concerned was, at absolutely no point in today's exam i felt it was necessary to stripped down. the blood pressure, heart beat and eye sight did not require me to be naked at all. so what was the point of taking all my clothes off? did anybody else have the same experience?

seems ok. at least they didn't give you a unnecessary prostate exam.

I guess your medical results would have reached CIC within 10 mins after the tests.
Now this is what you call 'special treatment'
Lol....

@ helohelo, I can't think of a reason you would have been asked to strip down to boxers. I know they check knee reflexes and palpate the abdomen. Perhaps it was not possible to do this with your pants on(if they were not loose enough to be lifted above your knee)? Good thing is a male was present in the room and you were not assaulted.

Perhaps the lesson for all of us is to ask questions when we feel uncomfortable and not just go along with things.

well they didn't do any of that the doctor didn't even check anywhere below my waist so im not sure if getting my pants off were necessary.

Haven't done my medicals for CEC yet, but my doctor has me strip down for my yearly medicals. It allows them to check your skin for any signs of conditions.

It would also allow the doctor to assess any scars and ask about previous surgeries.

 

[helohelo]

ok sounds like it's a normal thing. anyway to whoever's about to get a medial exam, be prepared to get stripped down to your shorts!

 

[Pippin]

Just do as your mother says and put on clean underwear. LOL. Relax. You have nearly reached your goal by the time you are at this point. Having said that so flippantly, I want to emphasize that I do not condone inappropriate, disrespectful behaviour - don't get me wrong. In a situation like this, where this medical has so much riding on it, it is imperative that the health professional be just that, professional. Good luck and stay healthy.

You should read the IME instructions to the DMPs that are hidden away on the CIC web site...
There are a lot of things that they *could* have done to you. Count yourself lucky. ;D

This was just to check if you had any kind or surgery. My DMP asked me if I had any. Despite of saying none, he pulled up my shirt and checked stomach chest and back for any sign. This is usual and could have been worse if they thought a surgery on private parts is a risk

Oh u were stripped cos they want to see the brand of boxers you were wearing.
If you wear jockey, hanes etc your PR will be given to you in 10 months
If you wear Calvin Klein, Gucci your PR comes in 8 months
If you wear YSL, Lacoste then the process is 5 months ..
so maybe that's y.
Y don't u tell everyone here what bran you were wearing so accordingly we can wear the same when we go for the medicals

Frankly, I'd be surprised if they didn't. A doctor can learn a lot by just looking at your body and your skin keeps a good history of certain past medical conditions.
