Nervous about going to doc..am self concious?

Question

I have the flu and i have to go tomorrow. but will they make u wear a rob and inspect u? like when u get check ups?

Answer 1

No, sweetie. Your question made me giggle. That means you get a star!

They will not be "inspecting" you. lol That's so cute. You won't have to take your clothes off either. Nothing to be self consious about. I promise!! Get well soon, Sweetie! Oh yeah, that star! :)

Answer 2

chances are very slim that you will have to wear the robe. your doc will probably just ask you questions and at most poke your stomach a bit (if you are having pains there?) There is seriously nothing to be self concious about when going to a doctor. They have seen it all, seriously....everything. So good luck and a happy new year!!!

Answer 3

they might , but not likely if they are just checking you about your flu. they make you wear the robe when you are going for a yearly physical where they have to check you all over to make sure you are healthy.

they dont "inspect" you tho and u dont need to be self-conscious since doctors see a lot of gross stuff !!!

Answer 4

think about what they might need to examine...your heart-rate, blood pressure, lung sounds and maybe abdominal sounds/ pressure. They certainly wouldn't be doing a pelvic. I am not sure what you are concerned about but the doctor will only take a history and examine those areas necessary to follow-up on your description of your symptoms.

Relax, go see what happens and then react to it as it happens. You are afraid of the unknown.

Answer 5

The doc will want to listen to your lungs so be prepared to remove your shirt if that is requested. Other than that, I don't think you will be required to put on one of those robes.
