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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Maybe you were wearing a bra that was wayyy too tight for you. Don't jump all over the doctors ethics for wanting to get a clearer reading. It's not like he groped your ****.

I agree with you fully, sorry to the author but not everyone is out to cop a feel of your boobs!

Maybe you are overweight and/or your bra's too tight? If the doctor was professional about it while asking you to do that then there's no reason to panic. My bras fit snug around the band so I always have to do that.

Your bra is probably too tight, as long as he didn't actually make you take your bra off then there isn't a problem. Maybe next time ask the receptionist for a chaperone when you get there and a female member of staff will sit in on your appointment.

On the bright side, it is a compliment!

It's ok, a lot of people confuse the word "he" with "she"....

Next time, you should talk about how much your penis hurts or something like that... Make him feel uncomfortable like he made you feel.

I think you need a doctor.
Jemm_fml 29
I need a doctor, call me a doctor, I need a doctor, doctor....

I could be wrong but chances are good that if OP wears a bra, she likely doesn't have a penis to complain about. Furthermore, I've yet to encounter a doctor who is uncomfortable discussing any body part or function.
Stiggy626 25
That actually makes a lot of sense haha. He asks you to undo your bra, you say your penis hurts. That would throw me off quite a bit.

If he didnt grab ur **** then it probably was that the band was tight, you are overweight possibly so then it made it hard to see your breathing. If you aren't sure, in future ask for a nurse as a chaperone. Most doctors do this automatically, and would do so as asked.
Stiggy626 25
So if your bra is tight, you're probably overweight? Makes sense, like when you're 6' and 200lbs and those shmediums don't quite fit..... Fatty

Firstly, a tight fitting bra would only alter breathing if it was multiple sizes to small (think corset tight)...even of OP was overweight. At this point it would be uncomfortable and OP probably wouldn't be wearing it. Secondly, Unless you have had a breathing condition (like asthma or cystic fibrosis) normally breathing is listened to with a stethoscope and not watched (other than to get the rate per minute and to determine if it is labored). I am in the medical field and find this to be off. I find it equally weird that there wasn't a chaperone in the room (when ever I go for the yearly check up there is always one as soon as I step in the door and my doctor is a straight, married female).
mimiminx 23
I'm concerned that you say you are of the medical field and yet when doing a respiratory assessment you don't look at the patients chest? A stethoscope will indeed let one listen to chest sounds but an eyeball over the chest can give an immediate indication to respiratory distress or paradoxical respiration and certify that breathing looks normal. If you've ever seen respiratory distress, then you can almost always tell just by looking at the chest before you even get the stethoscope out! Every doctor/ nurse should do this and yes a chaperone should also be offered.

I am in the medical field, I'm an EMT and will soon being doing paramedic training. You most definitely are supposed to watch chest rise and fall in order to assess breathing in addition to auscultation! Granted I'm trained in emergency care but I don't think that would ever vary, unless the care provider is being lazy.
ChibiChibi_fml 28
It shouldn't vary. I've never once been to a doctor that didn't watch my breathing as well as listen to it. I can also say honestly that a minimum of four different doctors have had to ask me to remove/ simply unhook in the back, my bra because it was interfering with hearing my breathing. I can honestly say that not a one of them tried anything inappropriate or sat and drooled over my ****. They just watched and listened to my breathing and told me I could put my bra back on. Bella627 you are either not qualified to be in the medical field, lying, or you just want to troll people.

I'm not 100% sure, maybe this is an Australian thing, but I've never had a chaperone or been offered one when I've been to the doctor.
lou_knee 6
In Australian med school we are taught to offer a chaperone, but in practice that doesn't usually happen unless the patient asks for one or has specific issues, or if there's a med student already in the room. If I was the OP, I'd be thankful that the doc was doing a thorough examination and not skipping over parts of it to save time.

They might have the same doctor, they might not have the same illness.
