Unwanted Doctor nut-fondling

lazernuts

Not worried about this, but just thought it sould go here.

Went for a pre-employment medical the other day. Usually they take eye/ear/lung tests, check your joints etc. I've done about 5 previous to this one, but this guy made me whip off my jocks and a good fondle with my spuds. Can anyone enlighten me as to whether this is proper procedure or what, or was he just copping a feel!!??

Healio

did he find anything?

lazernuts

I'd say he found 2 nuts. But thats not the point, not everyone is comfortable getting their nuts felt by a stranger, medical or otherwise. I think i am capable of checking my own balls for lumps, and think I should be given the decision whether i want this checked by someone else or not.

Healio

I only ask because i did one day, put it off for months then actually made it to the doctor, nothing to bad he said, have to get an ultrasound to be sure. So you got yours checked (maybe against your will), but at least you know your will is alrite!

why didn't you just ask him?

There are moments when questioning a stranger's professionalism just doesn't seem like a good idea...

kaiphas

He was probably checking you for a hernia (standard enough practice) unless he asked you to hang your trousers beside his!

bringitdown

Also they do it for the more obvious testicular cancer seeing as many young men fail to do this properly....

CHECK YOUR BALLS PEOPLE

/edit

At least thats what he told me .... [WANDERS OFF FOR COLD SHOWER]

WhiteWashMan

i eckon a little bit of ball fondling is probably negliable in the embarassment department when put up aginst women going for a smear test.

no idea what he was doing, but i remeber in school when i was about 10, we all got ou plums checked by a health nurse. but i think that was more about if we actually had a pair and werent missing one.

i understand the time and place to question someone, but i think its a bit odd that the doctor didnt actually tell you what he was doing. i think every doc ive ever been to has talked me thourgh whatever prodeedure they are doing.
or maybe its just that im standing there bow legged, nervously shaking in my little y-fronts that makes them want to mother me?

did he lick his fingers?

Don't worry about it. I got the same in my pre-employment medical.

I believe it's checking your prostate (sp?)

WhiteWashMan

i believe that is checked via an anal examination.....

karlh

im saying nothing.

Ive never had that just for a pre employment medical!Possibily depends on the job really!I can imagine it being uncomfortable allright though!I hear Military medicals are like that!Is it a pretty physically intensive job?

fintan

yeah he definietly wasnt checking the prostate.

Im sure he was just checking for testicular cancer, better safe than sorry i suppose.

Blinda

Bad practice!
Perhaps he forgot protocol e.g. to inform client of procedure, and forgot about cough!! Albeit in medical terms its excellant practice.
Therefore not sure what intentions were except to test for undesended testies (can cause cancer if undesended, and goes undiagnoised for length of time)
Feel nuts not give any info re- prostate problem as more involved!!!!

Healio

Perhaps the company requested this be done?

azezil

lmao!

ah i don't even need to comment

Oh god, don't be such a bloody wuss. He felt your balls to make sure they were okay, for the purpose of your medical record. And they were, so no harm done. Surely you're not THAT uptight!?

I think it was the initial shock of not actually being informed about it and just told!Id find it shocking and my initial reaction to someone other than the female species goin near my balls would not be good at all!

And the female reponse to a doctor preforming a breast examination without explanation would be?

be thankful. later in life you might have to pay for that. oh and be thankful that he didnt refer you to a specialist for a more detailed examination.

Like a spa - I gave positive rep for this post :rolleyes: ...suffice to say - Pet, I ment to give -ve rep..
If a doctor drop his hand to check your vagina, without explination - you wouldn't care, because...
a) you are not THAT uptight
b) you are not THAT fridgid
c) he's a doctor

...or is it a case that you believe women are more sensitive than men and therefore a separate social/sexual rules apply.

Blinda

Actually...........................................THERECKLESSONE!!!!!!
The same principle should apply if a woman undergoes full medical.
Dosen't always happen, but the full money's worth includes breast exam to discount underlying problem.
If breast milk present without natural cause e.g.(maternity) it could be a sign of serious disease - body/brain/cancer/tumor. Or side effects of medication / drugs.

If it was a female doctor performing the exam, I doubt there'd be much of a problem.

Lol, first of all, contrary to popular belief I don't actually possess a vagina of my own.
Secondly, as above, if it was a female doctor, I doubt there'd be a problem. Women have to go for smear tests regularly, which are far more embarrassing than a quick fondle to the balls.

Thats a silly comment to make , i think PET stands for poor eejiting thick in this case!Its embarassing for both sexes

They would not have checked for prostate, that would have been a rectal examination to make sure it wasnt enlarged. He could have been checking for hernias,cancer,cysts,infection,STD's or anything else like that. But if you are unsure ask for the doctors direct line and be put through to the clinic and speak to him in private

Caesar_Bojangle

I had a check up with an attractive female doctor a few months ago, she told me that I'd have to take off my pants. A sexy female doctor holding your balls, a nice start to the day, right? Wrong. She left the room and in walked a doctor in his late fifties who examined my balls thoroughly with his cold cold wrinkly man hands. He ruined my day tbh.

lazernuts, unless he started to play with them I doubt he was getting his rocks off.

Any doctor worth their salt would put their patient at ease. Rooting around a man's gonads without a word is a little unsettling. Likewise, I imagine a doctor (male or female) coping a feel of a female patient's breasts without explanation would raise a few eyebrows. The fact that there is a valid medical reason to perform the check is not enough, explaining procedures to patients and letting them know the reason for a particular examination is a common courtesy.

Congratulations! You have entirely missed the point.
Firstly, it's not about women or men preforming the proceedure - it's about not explaining why it's happening; it's about putting the person at ease to the fact they are exposing their most intimate body parts.

Secondly...

I'm glad you brought this up. Embarrassment is subjective to the individual. Until you produce an "embarrass-o-meter" your point is farsical.

I'm not reading the rest of this thread but imho doctors as professionals should at leat make an attempt to communicate to you exactly what it is they are doing..

Many thanks for the deacronymisation. Yes it's embarrassing for men, I'm not too keen on old men with halitosis fumbling with my bits, but it's in the name of health, so I deal with it. And as I'll explain below (for the benefit of some others) a smear test is even more embarrassing.

Checking the testicles for lumps involves about 15-20 seconds of groping.
A smear test involves a woman lying on her back with her legs open, while a doctor gets right in close and pokes around inside her bits with a swab. A prostate check - now that's worse again. But it didn't happen in this case.

Okay, so we've established the REAL issue - that the doctor never gave prior mention before he dropped the hand. I can see why THAT was a problem, and I'm sorry for not extrapolating that from the original post. Yes he should have given prior warning, to put the patient at ease. Perhaps he was in a rush that day but that's not a great excuse. Maybe the original poster should give him a call and explain (for the benefit of future patients only) that he could in the future be a bit more diplomatic.

"Unwanted Doctor nut-fondling"

Isn't there an element of once someone ask you to take your underwear off, that there might be a specific reason why they might want it off? Yes the doctor should have explained, but why do you think you were asked to take off your underwear?.

It's a little bit like years ago, a girl I knew complained when I was briefly "indiscreet" with my towel while changing after swimming (there was only the two of us there), this from someone who had been swanning around in a wet, clingy, see-through swimsuit (O_o) for the previous ten minutes.

Caveat Emptor. Ye pays your money and takes yer chances.

There was no need to explain what a smear test is - I understand.
Thank you for not reading my post though, I'll post it again for your benifit:

reminds me of a time (many moons ago) A gang of us went for a pre employment med exam one of us was asked to strip of into her bra and knickers and stand on one foot with a finger in her ear and hum :eek: she refused and told the doc so. Lucky she was the first one in and none of the rest of us had to do the same but I think some docs think they are God

wtf was that about? Surely the proper procedure is vigorous jumping up and down? TBH that sounds really dodgy. Why would you have to strip to your bra and knickers for a medical?

I remember doing a pre-employment medical where he had me open my jeans and get on a table while he had a quick rumage down my boxers but it seems a bit strange that he asked you to get (sounds like) completly naked.

lazernuts

Well, what happened me was he just had quick rummage down my boxers, followed by an awed gasp at my girth. Still makes me shudder at the thought. I asked around my mates and noone has ever had their conkers fiddled at a pre-emp test, for an IT company forthelovagod!

gonker

well blitz when he was asked why by someone he said it was to test our balance and our hearing :eek:
