What's a typical physical exam like?

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

I went in today for my routine physical. I actually haven't done one since high school or something, but I'm generally healthy so I suppose it's ok I skipped out on a few years.

Basically they took my blood pressure, temperature, weight, height.

The doctor told me to lie down and he used the stethoscope and tapped a few things here there. Opened my mouth for him.

That was it. He ordered blood work so I could go fast and come back some other day to get blood drawn.

Is that it? I remember as a kid peeing in the urine cup, getting your balls pinched, and maybe even more.

I donated blood last week and got my BP taken. A few months ago we had a health fair where my Kaiser (where I went today) came over and gave free blood tests where I also got my temps, BP taken, and my blood was checked for cholestrol and blood sugar.

It seems like I've done the same tests today and the only difference was I got to lie down and my doctor looked at my nose and mouth for literally 5 seconds and listened to me breathe.

I got a tetanus shot but I was in and out of the whole place in less than 45 min.

Is this all enough to make sure I'm healthy?

Edit: I'm 22, but when I did this stuff in HS I thought more was tested. I suppose I'll get more tested when I'm older, but I feel like this is a scam. I basically did half my physical donating blood last week and at the stupid free health fair. LOL.

As you get older, your physical will probably take significantly longer. They'll also start to refer you to other doctors for exams (prostate, colon, etc.).

I suggest you put your current age into the OP, might help. Somewhere in your 20's?

smile or wince, depending on your preference?

You must be young. Eventually they start shoving fingers in places where fingers were never meant to go. And they'll start saying things like "turn your head and cough," "does it hurt when I do this," "squeal like a pig," etc...

If you're a healthy 20 something, most docs dont do a comprehensive H&P since there's likely nothing to find and they're trying to save time. If you say you are experiencing certain symptoms, they'll slow down and focus on that area.

The best way to avoid this is to ask the doctor to use two fingers this time. Unless your Dr. is attracted to you, in which case, that would backfire. Unless you like that sort of thing, in which case, enjoy.

Either way, make sure you waddle out of the doctor's office naked and crying.

Last physical exam I had was a few years ago (18 then, 21 now) when I changed doctors. He checked everything OP stated and I got the "turn your head and cough" treatment. Haven't had a full physical since then.

turn your head and cough

Just wait till you get the bill for the lab work. They always draw blood on me with a physical and run every test known to medical science , hell I expect to see a pregnancy test on the list next time, and I'm a guy !

The worst is when they hand you the paper towel after to wipe the lube out of your ass. You feel so dirty and used.

And you can never get it all, so you walk back to your car and feel it between your cheeks.

You should still probably make sure you are not pregnant.

Its amazing what an ATOT thread can do to repressed memories. This is almost like therapy.

You said you were a Doctor. No...maybe you just gave me a Dr. Pepper.

"Turn your head and cough" isn't nearly as bad as "drop your shorts and bend over the table."

I always had to have a DMV physical every two years for my Class A license. It's a pretty comprehensive physical and took about an hour.

Didn't you ever wonder why is fingers felt so big? Or how he could manage to put both hands on your shoulders, all the while probing your inner reaches?

Did he at least give you a reach-around?
