**Author's note** I have been intrigued (and repulsed) by the concept that doctors used to masturbate female patients as a means to treat hysteria. Fantasy is fantasy, however, so here is a story based in this concept.
*****
She had been referred to this doctor by her guardian. Guardian was not the right term, only the legal one; he was her uncle, a traditional conservative old man who had not wanted to take on the burden of an "old maid" such as herself. Another misleading term; she was no old maid - simply a young unmarried woman. After her parents had died, and since she was still unmarried, she was to become a ward of her uncle. As she bounced along in the carriage on the way to the doctor's office, her creamy brow wrinkled in repressed anger as she recalled how it had been - living as her uncle's ward.
Before her parents deaths, she was able to spend most of her time at the university library, studying under the scornful eyes of the library patrons. Her parents respected her independent streak, and allowed her to behave in ways which were considered most unladylike by polite society. Once she moved in with her uncle, she was expected to fit nicely into the cute pink box that her uncle - and society - had constructed for her. When her set up weekly luncheons with the local ladies; she hid in her room and refused to entertain them. When her uncle forced her to serve whiskey and cigars to his "eligible bachelor" friends, she shocked them all by daring to discussing political happenings; things that were most inappropriate for a young lady such as herself to worry about, let alone discuss. Needless to say, living with her uncle had been troublesome.
So to say she had been referred to the doctor was also incorrect. She was being forced to go. This morning when she walked out of her room, her uncle and the household staff were all waiting to swiftly sweep her into the waiting carriage and sent her off. Her escorts were the burliest men her uncle had on staff; his stablemaster, his footman, and his butcher. All of the men were physically intimidating, and all were loyal to her uncle. She sighed as she looked at her silent co-passengers. Perhaps she would be able to reason with the doctor. Her heart started picking up, and her hope raised as she thought of the possibility that the doctor could be a progressive! 'How salacious!' she thought, a smirk pumping her cheeks, 'how utterly perfect that would be; we could laugh at my ridiculous mired down uncle!' She smiled to herself and brushed a loose lock of her hair back from her face. The butcher turned his dark features to her and narrowed his eyes suspiciously. She stared obstinately at him until he scowled and turned away. Grinning in victory, she thought, 'I am a 20 year old woman, I am not a child for him to order around and control!! Unless this doctor is giving me a chance to walk away from my uncle all together... there is nothing I need from him!' She settled in to her seat, resigned to the pointless doctor's visit.

Inside the doctors waiting room, she felt silly surrounded by her three guards. She was escorted to a chair while one of them went to the secretary to alert the doctor of her arrival. No one spoke to her, she was prodded along by the lurking men her uncle sent. Suddenly the man who had spoken to the receptionist walked back to her holding a small paper cup. Without speaking to her, he thrust the drink up to her face. She pulled back in disgust and anger, and started to sputter "Excuse you!" as she reached up to grab the hand forcing the cup in her face. Her heart fluttered when she felt his other hand reach out and grip her wrist. His hand was warm, fingers powerfully curling around her, stopping her motion. She felt her hope burst as if popped by a needle. While holding her captive with his hand, he used his other to finally rest the rim of the cup against her lips. She kept her lips firmly shut, and gave a small shake of her head - it was the most resistance she could offer.
His hand gripped her wrist tighter, his fingers encircling her bones and nearly crushing them. His voice was deep and soft, almost in her ear; and she was startled to realize he had leaned in towards her. She could feel his breath stirring her hair against her neck, and she shivered and felt certain that the only way out of this situation was through it. Resigned, defeated, bordering on humiliated - she relented and parted her lips.
The cup tipped and the chilled liquid slipped onto her tongue. It had a faint metallic taste, almost bitter, and she struggled to swallow it. She choked slightly on it, as the man tipped the cup farther. "Easy," he said, causing that same curious shiver to course down her back. "That's a good girl." he murmured when she relaxed and swallowed the remaining liquid. Her stomach did a strange jolt when he said the last part. She felt a flush in her womb, a heat beginning to bloom in her groin.
She realized she was slumping in the chair, against one of the other men who had escorted her. It was the butcher. She leaned into his warm, solid shoulder, nuzzling into his scent; an earthy odor. She jerked a bit, suddenly quite aware of what she was doing, but the thought was fleeting and scattered; she was soon awash in the gauzy cotton haze that seemed to cloud her mind. She could hear some discussion going on around her, and she frowned, finding the buzzing words faintly annoying.
"Heh, looks like the medicine is working already. Awe look, she likes you!"
"Shut the fuck up. If it's working, let's just get her to the doctor."
She was rudely jerked under her armpits to standing. She opened her eyes and saw the footman standing in front of her. He was young, nearly her age. She always thought he was handsome, and he was always so polite and genuine to her. It felt right to lean into him, to wrap her arms up around his neck and hug him. She sighed as she felt his sturdy chest under her cheek, and she listened to the hammering of his heart. Amidst the chuckling, she was turned, and with his arm around her, the footman walked her out of the waiting room. She stumbled, and felt a strong arm slip around her waist from the other side. This hand rubbed up her side, and grazed up against her breast. She started to protest, but her words were slurred, and she wasn't even sure what she was saying. The hand squeezed her in response.
They helped her along, dragged her when she couldn't handle walking, and brought her through a doorway into a sterile room. She could vaguely make out the doctor, he was more a shimmering floating white coat. She tried to look around her, but she was dizzy and just wanted to sit down again. She soon rested her head against the footman's shoulder again, leaning her weight into him.
"Looks like she's ready for the procedure." the voice spoke from the doctor's coat, and was firm and cold. "Help me strip her."
She immediately began shaking her head, murmuring and slurring out protests. The footman turned her so that her back was against him. He held her upright, and shushed her protests while the other two men began undressing her. The butcher gruffly told the stable-master to remove her shoes, as he began to immediately undo her shirt buttons. His greedy fingers made quick work on her shirt buttons, and she shivered as he unceremoniously brushed the fabric off her shoulders, exposing her skin to the cold air. Before she could process the injustice, she was forced to one foot while the stablemaster removed one shoe, then the other. She felt cold under her feet, and was confused. Then realized that he had also removed her stockings. By this time, the butcher had undone the button fastening her skirt, and he ran his hands down the sides of her hips, his rough skin burning across her as he dragged her skirt off.
For a moment, she was aware of the fact that she was standing with four men, while clad only in her basier and panties. She could feel her nipples hardening, and she began to protest again, trying to cover herself with her hands. Before she could, however, her hands were grabbed and shoved through the armholes of a paper gown. Then she was marched forward and sat down on the examining table. With a spinning head, she allowed herself to be laid back. She felt the paper crinkling under her buttocks, and heard a metallic sound. She felt a hand grip her foot, and rest it in a cold foot hold. Her other foot was soon placed in another hold.
Again, for a brief second, she was aware that she was laying in a most obscene fashion in front of these men... she had never been in a situation like this, and she was embarrassed of how she might look. It was a brief second, and then she lay back, too tired to move, to think, to worry.
"All right gentlemen, I'll let you know when the procedure is done." the white coat said, it seemed to be gathering tools.
She was starting to enjoy this floating feeling, and stopped listening to them, so she didn't comprehend or even realize when the butcher said, "Listen, there's an extra fifty bucks in it for you if you let us watch." Nor did she see the slip of paper exchanging hands, or realize that an audience of three was now standing looking down at her.
Without any warning, she felt a gloved hand against her groin. She bucked up off the table, able to squawk out a startled "What?!"
"Stop that!" the white coat chastised her.
She was confused, he was the doctor, so she lay back.
