My doc was with a new doc student I guess and she was shadowing him but when it came time to do the body exam I did not know they were going to do it together it was so awkward. He was telling her to push in move the breast tissue a certain way to feel for possible lumps and she was doing my other breast at the same time I wanted to scream. It was so unexpected it made me feel gross as hell why can't he just do it or just her why two hands

    That does sound like it would be a lot, although the others make a good point that you could have asked them to examine you one at a time I know that at the time it often irrationally feels like you can’t say no. I’m sorry you had this experience.

    I can understand feeling its a little bit gross, but also that you are exaggerating. It is expected that would happen on a breast exam, they are doing their job nothing else. And they also cannot read your mind so they dont know you think its worse if they use both hands.

    They’re just tits. But you could’ve always said at anytime that it was making you uncomfortable and she wouldn’t have learned anything.
