I was at the Doctor's office for my first visit with her since moving into my new city of residence. I'm happy she was taking new patients and accepted me on such a short notice. Her office was located in a large medical building next to a hospital and once I found the correct floor it looked like any other Doctors office on the inside that I'd ever been to in the past.
I didn't have to wait long once I was checked in. One of the office girls led me straight back to an exam room where she told me to wait for the Nurse to get started on me. While waiting in the room I looked out the window; through which I could see the Hospital rooms next door and the courtyard below between the buildings. With that kind of a view out it also meant anyone looking back at these windows could see in just the same.
The Nurse comes in and introduces herself and starts right off asking me questions on my medical history, etc. for a new patient chart. She looks up at me, taking her eyes off the paperwork for a moment, and says that I need to get my clothes off so the Doctor can do her physical exam.
She puts the chart down and reaches in a cabinet to find a gown for me to put on. "Here, this is what you can wear for her." I take the gown and unfold it then sheepishly ask, "Should I put it on now"? She says, "Of course; go on now; get those clothes off."
There's nowhere for me to turn for privacy; Either face the window and undress not knowing who would see me or, face the Nurse and undress in front of her. So, I step forward and face the Nurse as I kick off my shoes and start to undo my pants.
I slip off my pants and let them drop to the floor and quickly pull my shirt off too. She says, "I'll take those" and she picks up my pants to fold them up for me. I start to reach for the gown when the Nurse says, "Let me have those shorts first; come on; and the socks".
