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.

It might be that you have a bigger bra ,which makes the auscultation hard to do and therfore you have to remove your bra! Just take it as a compliment instead!

Did he listen to your lungs before asking you to undo your bra as well as after? Perhaps it looked tight or your breathing sounded restricted and he wanted to check if the bra was affecting it? You may also be bustier than your friends in which case an ill-fitting bra can cause a lot of problems so that may have had something to do with it. Did he simply ask you to undo the back? I wouldn't worry too much, although perhaps if there is a female doctor or another doctor you trust at the same surgery, you could maybe make an appointment with them and ask their opinion on the situation, if they can explain the medical reason, nothing to worry about, if not then it flags it up.

Jeez. Wait until you have a pap smear. You'll have to drop your drawers for that one. Also, speaking as someone with previously severe (and now moderate and under control) asthma, my doctor has asked me to lift my shirt/undo my bra so he can check my breathing numerous times. I don't think anything of it (since most of the time the strap/shirt is just in the way of where he wants to put the stethoscope). 1) If you felt uncomfortable, voice it before doing as you're told. There's nothing wrong with being uncomfortable naked in front of strangers/near strangers. My doctor has been my family doctor for more than 16 years and he's seen a lot more than my ****, but some people are naturally shy. Ask for a female nurse or secretary to be there during the exam if you wish, there's nothing wrong with that. 2) Remember that doctors see a LOT of body parts (on a lot of different people). This is just one more exam for them.

I've never had my doctor ask me to unhook my bra so he can check my breathing. He always has me leave my shirt on and sticks the stethescope down it, obviously because it reads better in contact with skin rather than cloth. Now, when I go in for my "well woman" check, I'm in a hospital gown and he examines my breasts without a bra on, and of course the pap smear. But he does that with every patient. That being said, I'd file a complaint, and bring your friends with you to testify.

if you go in with chest problems they need to watch your chest in its natural state. nothing here says op was naked just that their bra was unhooked.
