Going to the hospital can be pretty stressful. The possibility that something's wrong—or might go wrong—can make even the calm ones feel anxious. So to remind you that everyone has their moments, we collected stories from the internet of people sharing their most embarrassing visits to the doctor. From getting lost in a conversation to misinterpreting instructions, turns out, there's a lot of ways to look like a dumb dumb. Hopefully these will take the edge off before your next check-up; health professionals must've seen it all by now.

My Dad was getting his prostate checked out by this pretty good looking female urologist. She had to insert a catheter since my dad was having trouble peeing. Anyway, she removes the catheter once they're done and my dad starts pissing all over the doctor's leg. She took it like a champ and told him, "If I don't get pee'd on at least once a day, my husband will suspect I'm ditching work to have an affair" (or something like that).

If a doctor possibly know they might get peed on after a procedure like that, why don't they give the patient a container to pee in?

Catheters are the devices that release the pee into a bag or container, this is medically nonsense. I say its BS. I have family and friends on catheters for urination, defecation, blood draining, and more, and if there's a leak when removed it was done very wrong.

Umm catheters are the device that allows the pee to be released, and usually into a bag or other device. This makes no medical sense at all. Im calling BS.

They also use a catheter when placing a scope inside to do an examination. The various parts can be left in a stretched state after removal. Ideally, the bladder is empty prior to the examination, but situations aren't always ideal. (Speaking as someone who recently had such an exam)

My father is a nurse. He used to be an ER nurse (he now works in patient transport, which is a bit less nutty). He once came home from a night shift and said to me, with a straight face, 'You know you're a trained professional when you manage to keep a straight face while taking a lava lamp out of a woman.' I did not stop laughing for a solid minute.

I had a cyst on my right shoulder caused by a blocked sweat gland. The damn thing had swollen up, and I went to the ER. The doctor entered the room with a medical student. The doctor decides to cut into the cyst to relieve pressure. The doctor makes the cut, and I feel the student push down. I then hear the student squeal out. I look back and see the poor student covered in pus from my cyst. And it was bad too, like a '90s Nickelodeon TV show where someone is covered in slime, bad. The poor wee thing stood there, her face and upper chest covered in putrid, smelly pus dispelled from my back.

Even better was my long-time wonderful quiet vet with the new no-it-all-new vet tech observing my old dog's exam. She was overreaching herself and not listening to him, and he was looking a bit annoyed. The vet observed my boy needed his a**l glands cleaned, and since he was old, and not very active, it was going to be a big job. The girl shoved in and said, "I'll do it." That's a disgusting job anyway, and you better have plenty of paper towels. She didn't. Goop shot out all the way to the wall behind her, and she was partially in the way. Doc and I just looked at each other. 100 million views, but I didn't have my camera out. (Edit to clarify that the dog needed the procedure done, not the vet)

Vet. nurse here. When a dog eats some thing seriously undesirable, the dog is given an emetic to make them vomit. Newly trained vets often want to stand at the "sharp" end, despite the nurse's advice. When they are surprised by the 'fallout', you can't really blame us for results.

I thought I had a tapeworm. I brought my 'specimen' to the doctor in a plastic bag. All the nurses came in to inspect it. I had the doctor even look at my butthole. I wanted to evaporate out of embarrassment. You can imagine how I felt when they told me it was vegetable matter from the spring rolls I had eaten the night before. The walk of shame was real.

When my youngest child was about 3 years old she thought she had worms...she said something was wiggling in her p*o, so I had a look and told her it was just some undigested veggie stuff wafting in the toilet bowl. Then she went to day care and told the teachers that there was something wiggling in her p*o. It was pretty embarrassing trying to explain to them that it was nothing.

I was once constipated. I was roughly 12-13 at the time, and didn't really know about constipation. Every now and then, a nugget would pop out, and I simply thought that's all the poop I had to do. One sunny afternoon, I experienced a severe cramp in my gut. A contraction, if you will. I spoke to my mother (who is a nurse at a hospital) and explained my predicament. We went to our local doctor, and he explained that I had a poop backlog, and it could really do with being evacuated. Quite soon. (Looking back on it this did take place over about nine months).
I was checked into another hospital in a few days and administered suppositories. No effect. I then received an enema. This also had no effect. Over the course of the next two days, I received another set of suppositories and two enemas. Then, one night while I was asleep, my body let its guard down. I awoke with another contraction and I headed for the lavatory.
As I sat down on the toilet, I heard what could only be described as the gates of Hell being opened, and felt my body literally become about five pounds lighter in three seconds. My entire lower body went numb. As I tried to move, the small of my back ached. I called for a nurse, and after being helped back to bed, I overheard the words 'Waste Team' being said.
I spent the next 10 hours in a deep sleep, whilst I spent the next day in a wheelchair, before being able to use my legs again, and that toilet was out of use for three more days. I think they had to replace it.

Omg after my first child I ended up in A&E with fecal compaction and sever constipation. They gave me an enema and I ended up releasing so much that I too blocked the toilet that was for everyone's use. I had to stop a passing Dr and ask him to get it cordoned off as it would no longer flush :| felt great afterwards though, id been severely swollen post birth (feet, legs etc.) And that completely cleared it!

The toilet would be serviced by a plumber, with special unclogging tools that don't harm the outflow pipes.

Valentine's day, 2019. I pooped blood in the morning and made an emergency appointment. My doctor is a 60 something year old woman, and she says to me "you realize you can't tell me something like that without me having to take a closer look."
I'm lying sideways on the bed with my knees tucked up and my pants pulled down.
"Nothing wrong as far as I can see" she tells me... "Have you eaten anything like beetroot recently?"
I immediately remember the beetroot juice smoothie I had drunk the day before, but I'm too embarassed to admit to it, so I lie.

Load More Replies... Beady El 4 days ago
I'd think admitting to the beetroot (and by so doing, probably end the invasive exam a bit sooner) would be less embarrassing than allowing it to continue. The information you give directly to your doctor - whether it's volunteered or in response to his/her questions - is often the most valuable and important info s/he gets, more than any test or scan. Sometimes in movies you'll see a cranky patient who, when asked "What seems to be the problem?" will sneer "You're the doctor, you tell me! I'm not doing your job for you!" I hope this isn't common IRL, but the most on-point answer the Dr. could give is: "I'm DOING my job; asking you questions - and getting truthful answers - is a crucial part of treatment." If a med student started examining a patient without first getting a medical history, they'd be rightly scolded for it.

Pregnancy is the gift that keeps on giving. The majority of 'hoids clear up just fine, but when they're bad, the vessel wall is weakened, and they can reoccur repeatedly, or sometimes hide out until you're a 'mature age' and make then life hell. Public service announcement: eat your fiber and invest in a bidet, even a little hand-held travel bidet. Wiping aggravates 'hoids, and you don't want to be doing that.

Ha ive got a classic. So I had this rancid throat infection, as in the back of my throat looked like it had been the star of a Bukakke, it was horrific. After a week of being miserable I went to the doctors to get it checked out. Now I have never had a hot doctor before but the one I got was this lovely mid-late 30's blonde. Very lovely.
It comes to the point where she has to take a swab of the back of my throat and she says "i'm afraid this will make you gag". Now i remembered a thing my housemate had told me that if you squeeze your left thumb in your left hand really tight it removes your gag reflex. So i proclaim this too her, and to her disbelief go on to prove it works! low and behold i dont gag!
she says "wow where did you learn that?"
to which i obviously say "oh... er some guy showed me"
she raised an eyebrow, i went bright red and that was it for talking

This actually occurred shortly after I was born, and we refer to it as "The Green Pea incident". My brother (2 years old) was moving to solid foods, and absolutely loved peas. Mushed, boiled, fried, or in things, he loved them. One day, my mom noticed that my brother wasn't going to the washroom. No big deal, she thought. It's only been a day.
Two days later, nothings coming out. He kept eating and eating, like the happy little fat toddler he was, eating all amounts of peas. My parents scheduled a day off work and took him to the doctor together. The doctor, of course, says that he must be constipated. It happens to the best of us. At this point, it's been four days since my brother has taken one. The doctor gives him a large dose of prescription-strength exlax, and suggests that they should probably keep an eye on him for the next while. As he's talking to my parents about what they should do, my brother starts to poop.
Bright, neon green.
He had eaten so many peas that the fiber had actually clogged him up, and now it was returning in force. The semi-liquidated stuff started flying out, faster and faster like you see in those comedy movies. Eventually, it settled down to a light stream, but not before it had covered the entire wall next to the examination table. All over the doctor's tools, his blood pressure stuff and his posters. It ruined the cushion on the table, and stank to high hell. My parents never went back to that doctor again.

I was about 15 and at the doctors laying on that short table waiting for the doctor. I couldn’t figure out why that dumb table was so short and tried to figure out a way to make it longer. Well I realized at the end of the table there were these fancy leg extensions. So I pulled them out and waited. Doctor came in and started laughing hysterically and asked me what kind of exam I wanted? I didn’t realize what I had done until 20 years later I went to the doctors with my wife. Kind of a delayed embarrassment!

You really have to be careful about doctors that automatically diagnose you with constipation or gas when you are in pain.

I experienced intermittent severe pain for many months, but both the ER and my former doctor just kept diagnosing me with gas until I demanded to be sent for testing.

Had nasal polyps removed. After the procedure there are several followups to get minor stragglers but mostly also to remove giant blood clots that have formed.

Three minutes later he comes back and tells us he had a silent freak-out and had to wash up because a giant bloody string of snott carried elasticity from the pull and slapped up against the length of his cheek like a cheap 25 cent toy from the bins at the front of a Kmart.

I got a parasite after the water pipes in my city broke due to a hurricane and ended up in the ER for almost 2 weeks. Doctors said it was a third world parasite they'd never seen before, so I had hordes of medical students coming in and out every day asking me really invasive questions.
Then some nurse read that hedgehogs can carry this parasite and, well, I have a hedgehog. So I had to call up my landlord and have her scrape poop off my hedgehog's wheel at 3am, put it in a bag, and bring it to the hospital for testing. I had random hospital employees coming into my room every few hours after that, asking me if I was the girl with the hedgehog.

I recently had a sore throat, and when trying to get a good look at it in the mirror, I noticed these large, pink spots all over the very back of my tongue. I spent a week fretting over it, wondering what they were and why they weren't going away, until my mom became worried enough about them that she accompanied me to my doctor. Upon examining my throat and tongue, he pronounced that what I was seeing was...my taste buds. I have never seen my doctor, who is an incredibly stoic man, smile so widely before. My family will never let me live it down.

Not too bad, but a perfect example of how my life tends to go.
I had just bought a new type of perfume and put some on in the morning. By mid-day, though, my neck was red, puffy, & itchy. Home/OTC stuff wasn't doing anything, so I headed to the college infirmary.
Got in, was giving a nurse the details before the doctor came in--you know the drill. But then she asked the question I was dreading: "And what perfume was it?"
Me: "It's by Christian Dior. It's called *mumble*."
Nurse: "What was it?"
Me: "*mumble*."
Nurse: "I'm sorry, dear, but I didn't quite catch that."
Me: (sighs) "It's called 'Poison'. 'Poison' by Christian Dior."
I look over at her, and she just has this *look* on her face.
Me: "Go ahead, laugh. I would be if I were you."
She did grin pretty widely, and there was a bit of a giggle when she told the doctor.

I was 12 or so, and my doctor knew I didn't like needles (still don't, but oh well!) so he put a shot that I had to get in his pocket with his pens, so I didn't notice. In the middle of a sentence he pulls it out and comes at me, and I punched him directly in the face and broke his glasses.
It wasn't intentional, per say. Dude was coming at me with a sharp object. It was instinct. He ended up grabbing me by the shoulders, pinning me down, and doing the injection.
For years afterwards I couldn't face him.
TL;DR punched my doctor in the face.

As an ADULT, I've had doctors and dentists that hold the syringe in such a way it's out of my line of vision, warn me multiple times that I'm going to "feel a little p***k", and carefully stick me. This azzhole deserved the punch in the face, and if I could, I'd stab him in the neck with a fork on behalf of this poster!!

My husband needed to provide blood but the nurses couldn't find a good vein, they said. This was while my husband was in hospital. The Dr. came to see what the fuss was about, was told the issue and before my husband knew it, the Dr. game towards him with this big syringe, plunged it into a vein near my husband's groin and then handed it to the nurses. My husband was so flabbergasted he didn't realise immediately what happened. When he did, he was glad he was spared the nurses' prodding and trying, even if the Dr. was somewhat Gung Ho.

On a good day and with a good phlebotomist, I'm fine at one stick. I have had issues with being dehydrated or being ill and my veins won't cooperate. If there's some doofus that doesn't know what they're doing, they turn me into a pincushion. I had one guy that couldn't find a vein even with an infrared vein finder. After that experience, they get sticks--two if their vicious. You can actually refuse the stick and request a phlebotomist who knows what their doing.

I use a CPAP, for a while I stopped using it and during that time I had lost about 40 pounds. When I started using it again, the first night the pressure was way too high for the new me. It pumped in so much air that I swallowed a lot. The next day I was in agony so I made an appointment with the gastro doc. I was dealing with something I called "The Fartening." The gas was nonstop.
I had to explain to my gastro that the reason I made an appointment is my CPAP was set too high so I spent the entire weekend in pain bloated with gas and farting nonstop.

I have central sleep apnea. My brain stops telling my body to breathe 800 times a night... at least that's what my sleep study showed... I sleep so much better since I got my cpap. Before, I slept 2-4 hours a night because sleep wasn't restful... so I watched TV, cleaned, did household projects. After getting the cpap, I finally found sleep energizing and now sleep 8 hours a night. I spent 25+ years barely sleeping and not understanding why anyone would want to sleep.

Oh my, please be careful with these meds! While measuring INR, and swallowing pills, isn't exactly difficult, not measuring often enough can make this run off of any chart! Depending on your targt INR, weight, dietary habits and so forth, and assuming this is something like Marcumar, the dose is to be given in a rather rough selection anyway. Dad's dose is parted into a standard dose (about the mean value of last few months' daily intake), and a correctional dose determined by deviation from target, and the standard already has to follow a three-day-rhythm in order to match, as they are only reliably seperatable in quarters of 3 mg tablets. I learned to cut 1/8s, but that often includes one part of the quarter being squished. Anyway, if you take or organize this type of med (Vitamin K inhibitors - cumarin-derivatives), keep track of it, and don't panic if it is off target, but think. Record your stuff and define standard dose and correctional dose - and a min and max per day that never are to be exceeded. You might have use for a little math here, but that's elementary school level. Correctional dose, depends on patient, target, ... as always ... but, if you just record that stuff, and print out daily dose and INR vs days in excel, you might get an idea about when to add half a pill or reduce by a quarter. Dad's INR is stable since I formalized it, and in 10 years, I only needed to revise it two times.

I was pretty young, had never swallowed a pill before, my only experience with anything pill like was flinstone vitamins. I was in there with my mom and was given a tylenol and a cup of water, and I guess no one imagined I had never taken a pill before, so I immediately popped it in my mouth and vigorously chewed, and then immediately threw up from the bitter taste. My reaction was surprise and confusion.

This was most recent embarrassing doctor visit, as I’ve had pretty terrible luck with medical professionals in general. I had a recurring/constant ear infection for probably around 8 months last year. I did a televisit with a new primary and he prescribed antibiotics and said if it didn’t clear up that I’d have to go to the ENT. I finished the round and my ear cleared for a little bit but then returned to fully messed up. Ended up on another round of antibiotics for an unrelated incident and same story.
We have a long wait time for doctors and specialists where I live, so many months after my ear infection had started, I go to the ENT. He takes one super quick look in my ear and leads me to another room. He has me lay on my side and pulls out a hearing aid dome that apparently had fallen off and gotten stuck in there. He also waited to pull the thing out before telling me what the problem was; I’m guessing for the drama/amusement factor.
I was embarrassed since I had lost a dome but figured it had fallen out somewhere and not into my ear. The timeline of the two incidents never connected for me, so I never pieced it together as an option for what might possibly be wrong. He tried to reassure me that it happens pretty often, but then he had to throw in that usually it happened to elderly patients and I was probably the youngest person he had pulled one out of. All this could have been avoided if I didn’t have a telehealth appointment in the first place.

When I was 17 I went to the hospital for severe dehydration. I was in high school and had little time for bathroom breaks and then I immediately went to work after school. I was so busy that I could not use the bathroom unless it was with my 15 minute break in the middle of my shift or until I got home. My dumb solution to force myself not to use the bathroom was to just drink less water and would only drink water at night. So one day after toughing it out through severe stomach pain (it got to the point I could not stand without horrible cramps) I went to the ER. I got a scan because I complained of severe stomach pain and not only was I severely dehydrated I was also super blocked up because I was not consuming enough water. It was super embarrassing having the doctor tell my mom that I was blocked up and just needed to poop and drink more water.

I had a rash develop on my left armpit when I was 18. It was awful. So bad that it looked like one of those 'frosty' burns which kids used to give to each other with cans of deodorant. I assumed that I was an idiot and had given myself a frosty by using deodorant too vigorously.
I eventually got to the doctor, and I explained how I had given myself a frosty. He just looked at me for a while before saying: 'I don't know what a frosty is — and I don't condone those — but I CAN tell you that this is Impetigo... A rash mainly developed by dirty 2–5 year olds.'

Wow, how rude! I had an impetigo infection below my lower lip when I was 27. It was nasty and quite disfiguring, although superficial. I can assure you I did not have an especially dirty lower lip! But at the time I was prone to get eczema on my face, and impetigo is more likely to occur on skin that is already broken. So unprofessional of the doctor to tell this poor kid that it's because they're gross and infantile instead of reassuring them that it's a common bacterial infection.

What an a*****e! No it's not caused by being dirty. It helps if you wash/bath frequently, but it's highly contagious, and just brushing by someone can infect you.

No, no, no! I can only imagine this person was usually working in another field because that is the one thing you simply not do. The patient is very likely embarassed enough and in 99 percent of the cases aware how they caught it. We see it as an infection like any other, just because they got it by having intercourse with somebody does not make it something dirty. You do that is pretty much a guarantee the patient will treat themselves next time or just ignore it until it is getting to bad and the damage is worse. The only thing you have to ask by law in some countries is if the person is a sx worker. Everything else is nobodies business. Tell them how to take there meds, make an appointment to check if it worked and thats it

When I was about 13 , I got one of my little sister's stick on earrings stuck in my ear. I had been watching a documentary about pirates and decided I wanted to look like one and have an earring on one ear. Somehow it ended up inside my ear canal rather than on my earlobe. And in trying to get it out, I pushed it in deeper to the point that no one could get it out.
We had to go to urgent care. I was embarrassed to tell my parents, let alone a doctor, how and why it happened as I was old enough to know that it was a pretty ridiculous story: "I wanted to look like a pirate and I pushed this tiny metal sticker deep in my ear because I was watching TV at the same time as trying to put the sticker on".
