drop your drawers and the doctor will see you organization temple university x newsreader nnr vm s last week i went to see a gastroenterologist i had never met this doctor before and she did not know what i was there for as soon as i arrived somebody showed me to an examining room and handed me a gown they told me to undress from the waist down to be exact and wait for the doctor is this the usual drill when you go to a doctor for the first time i don t have much experience going to doctors knock on wood but on the couple of occasions when i ve gone to a new doctor i met him with my clothes on first he introduced himself asked what i was there for and took a history all before i undressed are patients usually expected to get naked before meeting a doctor for the first time personally i d prefer to meet the doctor on something remotely resembling a condition of parity and to establish an identity as a person who wears clothes before dropping my drawers if nothing else it minimizes the time that i have to spend in the self conscious ill at ease and vulnerable condition of a person with a bare bottom talking to somebody who is fully clothed does anybody besides me regard this get naked first and then we can talk attitude as insensitive also is it unusual james arbuckle email v e vm temple edu
