Patients Reveal the Most Awkward

Many people don’t like visiting the hospital, but sometimes, circumstances require us to.

However, those doctor appointments sometimes don’t turn out as expected, and patients end up in uncomfortable situations.

Nobody knows when sickness knocks on the door.

But when it does, we must take precautions by seeking medication to ensure we are healthy.

But some of those doctor visits have turned out to be memorable experiences for some people.

On Reddit, these patients openly shared their encounters during doctor’s appointments, capturing the interest of fellow Redditors.

While some of these anecdotes are hilarious, others are not-so-funny.

Here’s what they had to say.

1. Blue-Handed Patient’s Unusual Condition Turned To Be Blue Jeans

u/raybanomics: Not me, but my roommate went to the doctor because his hands were turning blue.

He was born premature and has always had horrible circulation. So he goes to the doctor, who is so puzzled about what’s happening that she calls to consult other doctors.

She returns to the room with alcohol swabs, and the blue starts coming off. Apparently, he had not washed his new jeans, and the ink kept rubbing off on his hands every time he put them in his pocket.

2. Going Commando Led to an Awkward Encounter

u/olialm1: I had my physical examination and forgot to wear underwear. I pretty much go commando all the time unless I’m wearing a short dress, so when my doctor told me to “put the gown on but keep your bra and underwear on,” I facepalmed.

When he went to lift my gown so he could feel around on my stomach, I turned bright red and said, “I’m not wearing underwear,” to which he responded by giving me this weird look.
