Socks on, Bra on, but hitched up out of the way, shirt on but moved when the Doc needs access.
There just isn’t really any reason to get fully undressed, as far as I’m concerned. Besides, it’s usually COLD in the office. I’m staying warm, thank you very much.
Not only that, but I sometimes worry that, one day, there’s going to be an emergency and I’ll be lying there undressed. If that were to happen, all I gotta do is grab my pants, purse, shoes, and coat (weather permitting) and I’m outta there!
The best alternative is when those navy, crew socks are actually offered to you as an option! They’re great and at least one practice allows you take your pair home at no extra charge! Now that’s an exceptional OB/GYN!
Was that woman wearing socks when she was being examined by Dr. Rumack in Airplane!? I think the correct way to get examined is to do whatever that woman did.
Always, always, no matter what time of the year, the waiting room is a refrigerator, and the exam rooms are a freezer! I’ve been known to throw a sweater around my shoulders while sitting on the table wearing the paper dress. One doctor insisted on doing extensive charting, while I’m in a paper towel developing frostbite. I finally said, “Can I get dressed now, I’m freezing!”
“Oh, sorry.”
I do wear my socks, but I have a very thorough doc and she wants to check the pulses in my feet. She pulls the socks off and hands them to me.
WHY can’t they use some type of hand warmer, and heat up that stethoscope?

Ew, creepy. Trust me, sex is the last thing we’re thinking of as we lay on that hard table covered in paper with our legs bent and up and stuffed into those metal stirrups, with our cold asses hanging off the edge. But hey, you have fun. :rolleyes:
Does anyone else’s doctor have funny posters on the ceiling of the exam room? Mine does. Last time I was in I suggested a flat-screen TV up there. She laughed and said she’d think about it.
Mine has Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow - which I think is brilliant. Candy for us adult women, and completely innocuous for women bringing in children.
I’m usually wearing leggings, so the socks come off with the leggings. Never been an issue for me.
And if you ever saw me in the little paper smock, thigh-highs, and stilettos, your family jewels would retreat so fast people would wonder why you’ve got marbles lodged in your forehead
I voted “it depends” since my annual tune-up happens in June. I don’t wear socks during the summer so I don’t have them to worry about. If I had to go another time of year I’d just leave on whatever kind of socks I came in with.
Do zombies wear socks in the stirrups? (The poster ladyalltheway! resurrected this two-year-old thread, which I only realized because I opened the thread and the poll told me I’d already voted. I just want to know what she was Googling and why…)
Socks on if I had them on when I came in, but I don’t bring them if I’m wearing sandals. I’m in the cold feet camp, rather than the feel less exposed camp.
My dentist has TV’s mounted on the ceiling above the exam chairs. It would be better with wireless headphones so they could block out any drilling sounds but just watching the CP24 news feeder scroll by is a nice distraction.
Socks on. There is no need to take them off and everything else there is uncomfortable enough, so why add to it by getting cold toes? I don’t care what it looks like. Laying there spread eagle with metal prongs up my vagina must look funny enough. :smack: Which reminds me - time to make an appointment for a yearly check up and a mammogram.
