Depending on age, possibly colonoscopy?

A number of people here, many quite young, do their own.
 
Drop your drawers.

Turn your head and cough.

This is how you do a testicular self exam.

That's what mine is like.

Why can't you just call it "jerking off" like everyone else?

A lot depends on how comprehensive the physical is.For my current job, I was tested for Hep B and C, TB, and titered for immunity to MMR, as well as having a CBC.

It's a man doctor - he works with mrsskoorb from time to time. Apparently he doesn't take much sh*t.

I really hope he doesn't grab my balls. I've had it done before, but on top of 2 or more injections, blood test, blood pressure (I hate that), and all else I really don't need my freaking nuts grabbed as well. Maybe I'll shave tonight to humor him. This is gonna cost me over $300 as well :|

Wow, mine in Canada was alot cheaper. He might not make you cough but he will be checking out the jewels. If your only getting two injections your lucky, both my sholders were nailed fairly hard.

It's a guess. I'm sure I'll get nailed just as hard. What a slutty thing I have to do. And by slut i mean a pain in the ass. In regards to grabbing my balls I hope his hands are big enough to get around them

Mine sucked just because there are only like 10 doctors in Canada that can do them.

Blood test
Weigh you
Blood pressure/pulse
Hernia check(turn and cough)
Check for heart murmur
Check reflexes(little hammer thingy on knee)
Check eyes and ears with little light scope dealybob
Poke and prod your back and belly
Probably point out that you are above the "recommended" BMI for good health even though everything else is perfect

Add urine test and EKG.

After you shave them, oil them up real good too.

But generally a physical does include the hernia test.
 
I had a medical at an INS approved doctor in NJ about 3 years ago.....there was nothing to it.
I was there for about 2 hours, but doctor only spent about 15 mins with me.
Nurse did most of the stuff, took blood pressure, heart rate, blood sample etc.

Contrast that with the "well patient" physical I just got from my own doctor....that was a VERY thorough one.

I have to get one for some INS garbage including needles and other things I'd rather not do. Will they take only one vial of blood or suck me dry?

When you see him put on the white glove, ask for some lube...
 
If you are over 40 a rectal exam is sometimes performed. Try not to smile and pretend its uncomfortable🙂

cholesterol screen might be done, make sure you are fasting (in case they want to do the whole lipid panel)


Good luck and hope for a prostatic massage.

peace

Why would they care if I'm fasting? I'm 25 I don't intend on having any rectal exams, thanks!

You are supposed to fast for 12 hours before bloodtests
They never fvckin told me that. Thanks for the heads up.
They're both from Canada, another urban legend is born
Believe it or not I've met dennilfloss in person :Q


The fasting is to make sure your lipids are accurately measured, as well as your blood sugar.

I suspect dennil is a pretty nice guy, who needs to explore writing fiction (seriously)...

what kind of a retard is married to a nurse and asks computer geeks about a freaking physical?

She's imaginary, and dennilSkoorb hired a pron star to play her when you-all got together....

We'll be hearing about her untimely death soon:|
