Today, my doctor asked me to undo my bra so he could check my breathing without the straps restricting my lungs, I got home and told my friends how awkward it was. Not one of them has had this happen to them before. We all go to the same doctor. FML

just creepy. change doctors and take appropriate action.

Considered that maybe your bra was tighter than your friends? Don't always jump to the worst conclusion.

Report him! Who knows what he might be doing to other patients!

Anyone who thinks 'You deserved it" needs professional help!

People say report HIM... HE'S creepy. I thought when dealing with the body, male doctors are only supposed to do that with guys and female doctors look at the women

Almost all the OBGYN's at our hospital are male. There's no rule saying males examine males and females examine females. However, you CAN request a chaperone if you're female and feel uncomfortable, plus, most people choose their doctors (here in Canada anyway) so if an opposite sex doctor bothers you, then find a different doctor?

Oh because whenever I got my physical and had to get touched, it was a male doctor. When my mom does it, she has a female doctor. All my brothers and father have male doctors and step mother has female doctor

Yeah it's quite possible that it's either a coincidence or that they specifically chose a same sex doctor. My parents, brother, and I all have the same family doctor and he's male, my OBGYN is male, my rheumatologist is male as well. I think it's possible that there are still more male doctors than female though. Though my father's chest doctor (sorry, drawing a blank on the proper term XD) is female.

I think they do it because the male knows the males body the best and females know females the best. Either that or they don't want pervert doctors

At least you know you're hotter than your friends...enjoy the attention & relax!

dont hate the doctor for liking boobies :D

My doctors have had me do this before. Some times I even have to take off a couple of layers. The even check my stomach by tapping on many places in it.

It may be that your bra was for example thicker and/or covering exactly that areal of lungs he wanted to listen to. It could be that it was tighter.
