My son, around 6 months old or so, was turning blue, all over his arms and chest. We were freaking out, despite the fact he was acting fine.
The doctor was able to get us in relatively quickly. With the short notice, we saw the doctor’s assistant first. He checked our son over really good and said everything seemed normal. As he was about to walk out and make us wait on the doctor, he said he wanted to try something really quick. He grabbed an alcohol swab and started rubbing my sons skin….the fucking blue was coming off.
My wife had put a new sleeper on him, not hard to guess what color it was, without washing it first. We felt so dumb, but also extremely relieved at the same time. If the damn thing had been any other color we probably would have realized it ourselves. It worked out in our favor, he was due for his 6 month checkup soon and they went ahead and did his vaccinations and all that while we were there.
I was at home drinking with my brother and my best friend. Well, my friend has jokingly broke the tab off of a beer can and dropped it into my drink, which I proceeded to hoover with great enthusiasm. When I set the cup down I saw that her face had went completely white, and she informed me of what had happened. I put the can down on the bar, and we did some googling. We decided the best course of action was to go to the ER and just have some X-rays done to make certain everything was going to pass without issue. Welllllllll. After several hours of waiting and two rounds of X-rays, they couldn’t find the can tab, and sent me on my way. I got home and shook the can I had been drinking, and sure enough- the can tab was still at the bottom. I did not feel particularly intelligent that night lol.
Went through a circumcision for medical reasons, the doctor was a woman, apart from her analyzing my penis before and post op, but you know, that’s her job.
After 1 month I came in for a check up, after which i recovered, she asks me the following question: “Does it hurt when you have sex?” .
Alright that’s not that bad, however I was single at the time, and instead of simply saying no, i said “I didn’t have the opportunity to try it out”, she follows it up with ” Does it hurt when you masturbate? “. I died inside
Had a rash in my groin area. Didn’t really know who to talk to about it. Ended up booking an appointment at Planned Parenthood because I thought they just dealt with all sexual health stuff and wouldn’t judge. Two women doctors saw me (a guy) and I swear they were holding back laughter. I later went to a male dermatologist, which still felt embarrassing but less so. He took some pictures of my junk with a phone camera which was pretty sus. He said it was plaque psoriasis and gave me an ointment to help but said it would never really go away. Used to for a long while and (knock on wood) haven’t had any major issues with it for a while.
They couldn’t find my coil to remove it. Had about 3 folk rummaging about until an older matron style nurse came in, threw my legs in the air, pressed on my stomach and whipped it out like a pro and left as quick as she came.
When my current girlfriend got pregnant she had been tested for various STDs. She had tested positive for something that doesn’t even make you sick or make you burn while peeing or anything, no symptoms and can be in your body for a long time. Her previous ex had cheated on her constantly so he ended up giving it to her. (For context me and my gf were only together for 2 months before she got pregnant)
I called up my urgent care and went and got tested, it was rather embarrassing. My girlfriend only had a pee test done, so that’s what I was expecting so I drank lots of fluids so I know I’d have to pee…
Once I got to the urgent care the doctor said “alright so I got the swab ready” I was hella confused I was like “swab??? I thought it was a pee test?!?!”
Her response was “yep we gotta swab the urethra for the test. Women get the pee test, men get the swab”
Safe to say I had an unpleasant experience.
They gave me a pill for it just in case, but I came back negative
I (M 18) go to Walter Reed hospital for a hernia. Several hours before the surgery the doctor stops by my bed and asks if he can bring his medical students by on his rounds. “Sure” I say. Anything for science. 10 minutes later he brings a gaggle of very young med students, guys and girls, has me drop trousers almost completely, and asks ” can anyone tell me what type of hernia this is?” Silence. Doc continues, slightly irritated, “Anyone?”… “Anyone!?” Left inguinal says me. “Not you!” says Doc. Brief smiles from most of the students. Quickly wiped from their faces. I seriously do not remember if I mumbled the words “You said “”Anyone? “” Best not to make your surgeon irritated even if you read your own medical chart.
I was withdrawing from an antipsychotic med and was losing balance even when I was sitting down and kept hearing a sound. The doctor in the ER came in and asked about me hearing voices, and I said “I’m not having a psychotic break, I’m not hearing voices, just someone keeps sweeping loudly behind me”, and he and the nurses just looked at each other.
I went to the urologist because I have a spastic bladder. He put me in stirrups and told me to cough… I sprayed the man like a cat in heat! Then he asked me to do it again, and I farted in his face! I’ve never been so mortified
A doctor gave me sex ed class condensed into 20 minutes, with my mom in the room (i was 12, and home-schooled)
One time when I was 4 I put a small Lego piece up my nose (don’t ask me why, I was 4).
My mum couldn’t get it out, and all attempts just pushed it higher and higher up my nose and started hurting. Eventually she took me to the local hospital. After the 10 hour wait we were finally seen by a doctor or nurse, and when they looked the piece was gone.
It either casually fell out or I somehow absorbed that thing.
More embarrassing for my mum than it was for 4 year old me.
Maybe 7 or 8 years ago, I got too stoned and thought I was having a heart attack. The ER docs seemed to be some combination of amused and annoyed by it.
A horse knocked me with its face in my face. Got a really good black eye and when I went to the doctor, he asked me several times if i was telling the truth and i should press charges to that “horse”. Everyone thought it was my boyfriend who hurt me. It was so embarrassing just because no one believed me 😅
I woke up to find a tick embedded into the head of my penis. Went to the emergency room. I learned that you can suffocate them by spraying them with soapy water. They will back out on their own because they can’t breathe. They checked the tick and me for Lyme and both came back negative.
At age 12 I woke up with a testicle the size of a grapefruit.. Walk out to the kitchen, “Hey mum, can you book me a GP appointment, please?” “Why?”, she asks. There was some back and forth, because I didn’t want to tell her. In the end, I just dropped my pants and showed her.. She agreed a visit to the GP was in order.. Which turned in to a confused GP. Which turned in to the ER at Box Hill Hospital and a bunch of confused medics.. They suggested I go to see the Royal Children’s Hospital, who would be expecting me..
Get there, on a gurney, naked from the waist down, Doc breezes in, looks down and exclaims, “My, that is impressive.” Then came the 30ish medical students, because it was something not usually seen in someone my age.. So many hands fondled my bits that day.. Backlit the testes with a torch to see the fluid..
It was a hydrocele, I had them on both sides. The op to fix it killed me, thankfully they brought me back.
I came blood once. And then had to describe it to the nurse and the doctor. Turns out there was a lot of pressure and it ripped my urethra.
There was also the time I had a boil just inside my anus. Got an unexpected prostate exam that day.
Yep, there were a lot of questions and unexpected insertions.
A doctor laughed at my tearful frustration from ongoing pain in a sensitive area.
I no longer see her.
I once farted a proctologist in her face from like a 3 inch distance, was a big one too.
Bruised dick. Ex Gf kinda jumped on it and it sort of kinked. Surprisingly it didn’t hurt, but it got swollen and dark really quickly. I got freaked out and thought I’d caught some radical new std. Thought my dick was gonna explode. At the time I remembered that line from that Eddie Murphy bit. Got freaked out, ex did her best to calm me down. Ironically my dick was now roughly twice it’s regular size and black but some how I was less thrilled than I possibly should have been.
I went to the Drs first thing in the morning, I explained the situation and the doc already smirking said “alright, show me”
The next words out of his mouth were “Jesus mate, that’s a beauty, Do you know how people pay to get that done?”
Look, I had spent like 9 hours terrified that my dick was permanently broken. The doc at least got me to chill. Unfortunately the upgrades didn’t last long.
A few weeks after a D&C (dilatation and curettage) I ended up in ER with really bad cramps.
They did all the tests… Turned out I was ovulating.
I was 18 and went to the doctor because of a big dark spot on my dick, scared to death that it could be some lethal or at least dick-rotting STD. To the amusement of the doctor, it turned out to be an hematoma caused by reckless lovemaking. Did I mention I was 18?
Poison oak on my cock and balls
I’d been having weird pain in my groins/testicles. I made an appointment and told them why I was there when I arrived. Got led into an examination room and told to expose the area by the nurse as she left.
So I was lying on the table, unbuttoned my pants and exposed myself. Just laid there with my junk cold and waited. A few minutes later another young lady walks in and gets flustered. She tells me I can cover up and then starts poking at my stomach asking if it hurt etc and then takes an x-ray of my stomach.
She left and said the doctor would be with me shortly.
Doctor arrives and asks what symptoms I’m having etc. I start telling her and she gets this confused look on her face, double checks her clipboard and then excuses herself.
Apparently, they’d got confused on why I was there and thought I was having stomach pains. So that nurse walks in expecting a normal encounter with a patient suffering from stomach issues and gets treated to a limp dick in her face for seemingly no reason.
The combination of embarrassment, being made to feel like it was my fault and not being able to trust they’d be organized enough was enough to make me never go back.
Currently laying in bed from an impromptu testicular torsion surgery. At least 15 touched or saw my junk yesterday. Apparently, I also had an erection the entire 30 minute operation. I was under general anesthesia.
Didn’t poop for like two weeks
When I was in college and found myself in my first relationship, I was having trouble getting erections. I knew nothing of performance anxiety, and thought it was something physically wrong, so I went to the university hospital and was evaluated by a female med student not much older than myself. She was pretty great, in that she recognized how embarrassing this was and acknowledged how tough and unusual it was for someone in their early 20s to even seek medical attention for something like this. That was 20+ years ago and I still cringe thinking about it.
Thankfully, I quickly got over it and was able to perform. The relationship was a 4 year disaster, but that had nothing to do with my dick, but more of my partners desire to sample many other dicks in that time frame.
I went because I felt what might as well be a third testicle, which I already felt a little embarrassed about, and then I got an erection when the doctor was feeling for it during the exam. And some might think at least it was a woman but that made it even more mortifying.
I went for an eye infection and either the least professional but coolest nurse or the most clueless turned to my brother and asked if we’d been giving each other dirty sanchez’s. From the way she said it, I’m guessing she’d heard of that before but was very mistaken on what that actually is. More embarrassing for her when she realizes but we were dying.
Take your pick.
Got hard at doctors office
I had testicular cancer, and since that’s rare and it was still relatively small, the Urologist asked me, if he could send over his students, to see whether they can feel it.
Being 31 and breaking my arm from Roller Blading
When I took my 1-week-old son to the doctor because I thought he had a second butthole. Turned out it to be an indention. Nothing to worry about 🤣🤣 so embarrassing.
When my butt hurt and the doctor had to look in it
