Male (69) Single
Do you get butterflies sitting in the waiting room, waiting for your appointment?
That sense of anxiety tinged with excitement? That employment medical, so important for that new job. Perhaps your annual physical has come round again.
That pre-examination questionnaire
Do answer the qustions honestly - tell the truth about any alcohol consumption. About recent sexually activity?
The doctor is ready for you now
The doctor rises from his seat to greet me. Not a female. Not a young intern but mature man with the hint of a smile.
Get undressed please so I can examine you
Do you feel embarrassed standing in your underwear as yhe doctor looks at you.
Do you quietly gasp as the stethoscope lands your chest?
Take deep breaths, say 99 as the chest piece moves around your chest and back. Is your heart racing?
How does the instruction to take your bra off make you feel?
You shiver involuntarily as those hands start to explore your breasts and in particular your nipples
Legs apart
As you lie on the couch, and you hear the sound of those latex gloves being snapped on do you dread or look forward to what happens next?
Do you feel excited and scared about this inevitable exposure?
Do you dread and look forward to that metal speculum the doctor is holding in hIs gloved hand?
You need to make an appointment for your check up soon!
