I have to get a full physical. If the doctor sees the cuts, do u think he will ask me about them? Touch them to see if it's painful/ see how deep it is? I'm already going to be very uncomfortable. I know I will probably be in a gown and underwear, but do u think he will check me more thoroughly (have me remove underwear, etc)?
I'm getting pretty nervous... |

It really all depends on why you need the physical. Usually they do not remove your underwear for that unless they are looking for something specific.
If your cuts are noticable he might ask about them - maybe think about what you want to say in advance just in case. I doubt that he would touch them unless gaining permission and you can always tell him to stop if he tries - he should not be doing anything you are uncomfortable with without your permission. I can completely understand why you are nervous but just try to breathe and relax. Physicals are never fun but as a doctor he will have done this before and should hopefully be able to do some small things to keep you more relaxed. You can also always ask him to stop, slow down or explain what he is doing/about to do if you are still uncomfortable. Good luck

What is the physical for? Do you have to have it?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
