In vet school, my professors told me the only two valid reasons not to do a rectal exam are if you don't have a finger or they don't have a butthole. Good to know that's not true in human med.

My sweet as pie new medical student was allowed by my radiation oncologist to explain how radiation fit into my treatment picture. I’ve heard a few analogies, but none quite like hers that described my cancer as like a bag of chips that got ground into the rug and needed more than a vacuum cleaner. [Tears of joy] I suspect she got some coaching about that one.

I used to work with a PCP who we called Dr. Intern because you would come in for a cough and leave with orders for a colonoscopy.

I had a medical induction of labor on July 8th. Dr. Intern told me he broke my water. Surprise, surprise. He did not.

I have figured out my line. Students can do any questions or stuff if it’s sensitive (physical or whever I need to take off clothing) then only women. My drs office shuffles through a lotttttt of PA students

The Trauma Handshake is only for actual emergencies or if they "fell" on something. Otherwise just the normal vital signs....

I have a rare-ish eye anomaly that is visible at slit-lamp funduscopy with contact lens that I have to do once a year, and I agree to help students because it's always fun 😂 " - Can I show this to my "children"? - Yeah, no problem! (it's slightly annoying, because you sit with an eye full of gel and a doctor touches your eye with a lens thing). - Holy shit, look at this! - No, you can't say that in front of the patient. Next! - Holy shit, look at this!"

I was taught the only reason not to do a rectal exam is if the patient doesn’t have a butthole or the doctor doesn’t have a finger. (Very glad that’s not the case anymore with current data)

since when do doctors do physical exams any more? I thought they plugged in symptoms into the algorithm or AI and ordered whatever tests the computer told them to

I am a patient in the resident program for my health network. Is it not normal to get a rectal exam twice a year as a woman in my 30s?
