22 Patients Are Sharing Their Most Embarrassing Doctor’s Office Visits, And Holyyyyy Crap

20.

“I was 21 and having a birthmark removed from my buttocks; it was large, black, and hairy. I had elected to remain awake during the procedure, so they used only a local numbing agent. Before the procedure started, they asked if I would mind if a med student came to observe and ask questions, as apparently it’s not often someone is awake for this large a skin removal. I was fine with it.”

“Well, I am lying facedown on the table, legs spread, ass in the air, when about 20 medical students walk into the surgical room. Almost all of them are handsome young men about my age. The doctor started talking about my black, hairy Nevus, explaining how to excise the birthmark in a football shape, loosen the remaining skin from the underlying tissue, and stitch it up so it wouldn’t tear. He then told the students to ask me questions. I had to explain how the stitches felt like someone flossing my ass cheeks, etc. All while these young men looked right at my exposed privates. At the end, they thanked me and left.

A few weeks later, I saw a group of those med students at a bar. One of them was looking at me strangely before we both realized where we knew each other from. Very embarrassing.”
