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

Today, my doctor told me to take off my pants so she could do a checkup. When I took them off, she gasped. When I asked what was wrong, she said she was expecting something else. She thought I was a dude. FML

Today, while getting a breast exam for some suspicious lumps, I was lying on the table with my boobs exposed and I learned my doctor is afraid of wasps. I had to chase the wasp out whilst topless. FML

Today, while trying on bras in the changing room, I wanted to see what my friend's bra looked like on her. Not wishing to leave my changing room in my underwear, I wriggled under her door. When I got through, my bra had come nearly all the way down and when I tried getting back, I got stuck. FML

Today, I went to my doctor for a check-up. It started with the doctor lifting my shirt up to check my heartbeat, and ended with my gran starting a fistfight over his "perverted ways." FML

Today, I was at the doctor's getting a pap smear and she asked if it was alright if a doctor in training could come in to observe. I was already laying on the table with my feet in the stirrups, so everything was in plain sight. When the man came in to observe, I looked up to see my brother-in-law. FML

Today, I went to the doctor's because I could feel something solid in my breasts, and I wanted to get it checked, just to be safe. Turns out it was my ribs. Oops. FML

Today, I was at the gynecologist and he was performing a routine check-up. He was a new doctor and I was just slightly uncomfortable with him. About mid-check-up, as he felt around my uterus, he said in a cartoonish voice, "Oh, it's so squishy up here." The doctor turned me into a sock puppet. FML

Today, while sitting at my desk at work, a co-worker asked for my help. It was only after I had walked over to his desk, bent over, answered his question, and walked back to my stall, that I felt a breeze. My tube top had slid down across my breasts, revealing my bra to the entire office. FML

Today, I told the doctor that one of my ribs sticks out farther than the other. When I lifted my shirt to show him, he immediately laughed and said, "Whoa, that's not subtle is it!" As if I wasn't already insecure about it. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I went to visit his grandparents. Everything went well, until his grandmother approached me and asked me if I wanted to try some of her old bras. I didn't want to be rude, so I went with her. Most awkward moment of my life. FML

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

Maybe your bra is tighter than your friends. I wouldn't jump to conclusions yet.

From what I've gathered, it's generally best for a woman to have a female doctor. Or perhaps a female chaperone during the examination by the male doctor.

While it is odd that none of them ever had the same experience, being asked to remove your bra by a doctor for that reason is not out of the ordinary. Sorry that it made you feel awkward, but don't worry too much unless it was more than just having to remove it. Were you wearing a sports bra or something like that?

No, in America we call that NORMAL FOR A PATIENT COMING IN WITH A RESPIRATORY COMPLAINT. Ye gods. Her bra was unclasped, not removed, in order to ensure her breathing wasn't being restricted by the straps. Her **** weren't hanging out, she wasn't being groped, she had a chest cold/breathing issue and the doc needed to see and hear how her breathing was. If you think you broke your toe but get upset when the doctor wants you to show your bare foot, you have problems.

Have you gone in for lung specific complaints? My visits after my two pneumonia bouts always had me bare from the waist up save the paper shirt. They watched and listened really carefully. Also I've been given gowns and told to remove my bra since I turned 13. Not every doc, but often enough. I usually just skip the bra entirely and wear sweats so it doesn't matter, but that's not an option for everyone.
