I was a college freshman when I went for my first sports physical exam at school. I had been a pretty decent runner in high school and was now going to be on the men's track team at college.
Our school required that all of our athletes go through an exam by the school health services and my appointment was this morning. I thought I must be the first appointment of the day since I had to be there at 7:30 in the morning.
When I arrived and walked into the office I was surprised to see that there was no one at the front desk and the waiting room was empty except for a young woman who looked like she was about my age.
She explained that the receptionist had gone into the back for a few minutes, so I sat down in a chair across from her. She was a really beautiful young lady and I wondered why I hadn't noticed her before on our rather small campus.
We struck up a conversation and I discovered that the reason I hadn't seen her before was because she wasn't a student, but a girl from the local community who was there to answer an ad about working at the Health Services.
It turned out that she had just finished a high school program for Medical Assistants and this was her first interview. Her name was Beth and I was quite taken with her. She seemed so cheerful and despite her amazing blue eyes and pretty blond hair, which she wore pulled back in a long ponytail, she didn't seem at all stuck up. On the contrary she seemed completely unaware of the fact that she was so beautiful.
She seemed genuinely interested in me and asked a lot of questions about me and my college and sports aspirations. I talked about my track team and explained that I was there to have my sports physical. I felt so comfortable talking to her and even confessed to her that I was a little nervous because I found doctors and being examined to be quite intimidating and embarrassing.
She was really nice and reassured me that she was sure it wouldn't be much of a physical and would probably be over in a few minutes. I hoped so and further explained that my trepidation was mostly because I was really shy and got really embarrassed easily.
Just then the receptionist came back. It turned out that she was a fellow student who worked there part time on a work study program. Her name was Karen and although she was in one of my classes I had only talked to her briefly. The few times we had spoken I got the impression that she was not someone that I wanted to know. Although she wasn't nearly as attractive as Beth she flaunted her looks and seemed to get a kick out of teasing boys and being a bit of a bitch.
Karen called Beth into the back. I had been just about to ask her if she'd like to get together sometime and was disappointed left so quickly, but hoped I might see her again before I left.
Sometimes we need to be careful what we wish for!
Karen was gone a long time. When she had come to get Beth she must have seen that Beth and I were having a really nice chat, because she looked from Beth to me and got a funny look on her face.
Karen finally returned and called me in.
"Justin Summer?"
"That's me." I replied.
"Come with me." She said as she held the door open for me to come into the exam area.
She gave me another of her quirky looks as she asked,
"You're in my English class aren't you?"
"Yeah, we spoke a few times remember?"
"Oh really? I guess. I talk to so many people. So you're here for your sports physical correct?"
"Yes, I'm on the track team."
She didn't seem too impressed with that and didn't reply. She led me down the hall to an exam room which was brightly lit and had an exam table right in the middle of the room with bright lights directly overhead.
"I'll be getting you started this morning. The regular nurse called in sick so I'm filling in for her."
This sounded a bit ominous to me. Just what would the nurse be doing? I really didn't want this prissy girl to be in the room when I was being examined and then have to see her in English class for the rest of the semester! Then I remembered what Beth had said about this being quick and I hoped for the best.
She gave me a few papers to fill out and left the room. It was rather chilly in the room and my nervousness only added to my feeling of dread. Karen came back and checked the papers then said,
"Okay, you need to get undressed. Everything off except your underwear. I'll be back in a minute to do a few things before the doctor comes in."
I nearly fell over. I started to say something, but my mouth got dry and I didn't know what to say anyway. Was she actually going to see me in my underwear? I was mortified! I looked around for a gown or something to cover myself with but there was nothing.
I took off my shoes and socks and then my shirt. I hesitated when it came to my pants, maybe she would just let me leave them on? Just then the door opened without a knock and in walked Karan and to my horror Beth as well!
"Justin, this is Beth. I think you met in the waiting room." She said with a smirk. "She is going to be working here and the doctor wants her to observe the exam so she'll know what her duties are."
I glanced at Beth, hardly able to make eye contact. She was obviously as embarrassed as I was, but neither one of us seemed to have any choice in the matter.
Karen looked at me with an evil smile and said,
"Justin, why do you still have your pants on? I told you just your underwear. Please take off your pants so we can get started."
I must have turned crimson. I hesitated again, then turned my back and slowly took off my pants.
"Okay, let's get you on the scale."
I turned around and felt so exposed standing there in front of Karen and even worse, Beth. I walked over to the scale and stood on it as Karen checked my weight.
"Beth, I'd like you to come over closer so you can see everything. You're going to be doing this soon."
Beth came over and I quickly glanced at her and she gave me a sweet apologetic smile. Karen showed her how to check my height.
"Now, when you check height make sure that the patient is standing straight with a fully erect posture."
Did she emphasize the word erect? This was becoming a nightmare! Karen checked my blood pressure and pulse and then turned to Beth.
"Beth, I'm going to get the doctor. Please stay here with Justin and I'll be right back."
Again the smirk as she glanced at me.
Now I was alone with Beth standing there in my underwear.
"I'm really sorry Justin. This must be a little embarrassing."
I just blushed and didn't know what to say. I couldn't bring myself to look at her.
"Don't feel bad Justin. It's not really much different than being in a bathing suit. It's not like you're naked or anything."
I'm sure she was trying her best to make feel more comfortable but the more she talked about it the more embarrassed I got. Just then the door opened and in walked Karen with another young woman. Was this the doctor!.
"Doctor Lane, this is Justin. He's the one I told you about."
Told her about? What did she tell her? I looked at the doctor, she looked like she must have just graduated from med school. She had jet black hair and when Karen spoke to her she seemed to mirror the grin on Karen's face.
"How do you do Justin? I'm Doctor Lane and I'll be doing your sports exam. Karen is going to help me and Beth will be observing, so let's get started."
I was now standing there in full view of three young women and all that was protecting me was my underpants!
The doctor very briefly checked my heart and breathing while the two others looked on. All the while she was doing this she and Karen kept exchanging glances and strange smiles. I was still taken by the fact that Doctor Lane looked so young. She had to be at least in her late twenties or close to thirty to be a doctor, but she looked no older than Karen.
