However, those doctor appointments sometimes don\u2019t turn out as expected, and patients end up in uncomfortable situations.<\/p>\n<p>Nobody knows when sickness knocks on the door. But when it does, we must take precautions by seeking medication to ensure we are healthy. But some of those doctor visits have turned out to be memorable experiences for some people.<\/p>\n<p>On Reddit, these patients openly shared their encounters during doctor\u2019s appointments, capturing the interest of fellow Redditors. While some of these anecdotes are hilarious, others are not-so-funny. Here\u2019s what they had to say.Not me, but my roommate went to the doctor because his hands were turning blue. He was born premature and has always had horrible circulation. So he goes to the doctor, who is so puzzled about what\u2019s happening that she calls to consult other doctors.<\/p>\n<p>She returns to the room with alcohol swabs, and the blue starts coming off. Apparently, he had not washed his new jeans, and the ink kept rubbing off on his hands every time he put them in his pocket.<\/p>\n<p>I had my physical examination and forgot to wear underwear. I pretty much go commando all the time unless I\u2019m wearing a short dress, so when my doctor told me to \u201cput the gown on but keep your bra and underwear on,\u201d I facepalmed.<\/p>\n<p>When he went to lift my gown so he could feel around on my stomach, I turned bright red and said, \u201cI\u2019m not wearing underwear,\u201d to which he responded by giving me this weird look.<\/p>\n<p>Way back when I was in peewee football, I had to go for a sports physical. I was pretty young then. When the doctor told me to turn my head and cough, I panicked because I hadn\u2019t coughed in a while, so instead, I burped.<\/p>\n<p>My left leg is slightly shorter than my right leg (approx. 1.5 cm, so nothing too drastic), and when I was younger, I had to see a specialist because I also had scoliosis.<\/p>\n<p>The doctor was older and German and had three international interns: one from South Africa, one from Mexico, and one from China.<\/p>\n<p>After taking x-rays, the German doctor returned and informed me that my right leg was shorter than my left, pointing to the hip displacement in the x-ray. I corrected him, but he insisted that my right leg was shorter.<\/p>\n<p>The South African came to my defense and pointed out that he was looking at the X-ray backward. The German doctor didn\u2019t believe any of it, and their argument got so heated that the Mexican and Chinese doctors excused themselves.<\/p>\n<p>I was about five years old at the time. We had a big field beside our house where my two older brothers and I rode our mini motorcycle around. Anyway, I crashed the bike and cut my leg open pretty badly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"thumbnail-wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aboutamerica.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/414471409_122139063038040739_4252273966991260728_n-300x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aboutamerica.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/414471409_122139063038040739_4252273966991260728_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aboutamerica.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/414471409_122139063038040739_4252273966991260728_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.aboutamerica.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/414471409_122139063038040739_4252273966991260728_n.jpg 526w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/div>\n<p>So, I was taken to the local doctor for stitches. He pulled down my little trousers, and I wasn\u2019t wearing any underwear. Twenty years later, I still have the scar on my leg. And my lack of underwear is still a regular family anecdote.<\/p>\n<p>A few years back, I ended up getting the flu. My wife took me to a 24-hour emergency clinic near our house. The doctor on duty was in her mid-30s and kind of cute.<\/p>\n<p>My wife was in the waiting room, and I was with the doctor in a patient room when the doctor turned to me and said, \u201cYou look just like John Cusack\u201d (which I do).<\/p>\n<p>I told her I get that all the time, but she kept repeating it, and she began sounding creepy. So I\u2019m lying on the bed, trying my hardest not to pass out, and the doctor begins playing with my hair, talking about John Cusack before my wife walks in.When I was newly pregnant with my daughter, I was at my OB\u2019s office for a pelvic exam. After I stirrup up, my doctor checks my vagina and says, \u201cOh, you\u2019ll be fine if you have a big baby; there\u2019s PLENTY of room in here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure she meant that I have a wide pelvic arch and would have no trouble with a vaginal delivery, but what I heard was something entirely different.<br \/>\nI was ten when I was taken to the emergency room with a ruptured appendix. They had trouble diagnosing my problem and sent me in for an enema. The doctor was doing his thing. So I said, \u201cYou must be the least popular doctor in the hospital.\u201d He responded,\u201d I don\u2019t get many thank-you cards.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well, it\u2019s not that awkward, but it was April Fool\u2019s Day, and right before I went to class, I decided to go dominate the toilet. To my surprise, the toilet paper was all red.<\/p>\n<p>By this time, I\u2019m freaking out going to the doctor, thinking I bled out of my butt. I go to an urgent care and pay my $100 fee. A very attractive doctor has me bend over to look at my buttocks. That was the awkward part for me.<\/p>\n<p>She says I\u2019m probably okay if I didn\u2019t feel any pain. An hour later, I\u2019m sitting at home wondering if I\u2019m going to die. I realized the night before I got very drunk, smoked, and ate a whole bag of flaming hot Cheetos to myself. Turns out that eating a bunch of those turns your poop red.<\/p>\n<p>I had a sore throat, and when I tried to get a good look at it in the mirror, I noticed these large, pink spots all over the very back of my tongue.<\/p>\n<p>I spent a week fretting over it, wondering what they were and why they weren\u2019t going away until my mom worried enough that she went with me to my doctor.<\/p>\n<p>Upon examining my throat and tongue, he pronounced what I saw were my taste buds. I have never seen my doctor, an incredibly stoic man, smile so wide. My family is never going to let me live it down.<\/p>\n<p>I went to the doctor when I was about eight months pregnant. At that point in my pregnancy, I was VERY gassy, and if I tried to hold it in, it would get painful after a while.<\/p>\n<p>While I was sitting in the doctor\u2019s office, I felt like I had to fart. I held it in for a while, thinking that if I did fart, the doctor would be in at any moment. Fifteen minutes passed, and nothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people don\u2019t like visiting the hospital, but sometimes, circumstances require us to.
