Many people don\u2019t like visiting the hospital, but sometimes, circumstances require us to.<\/p>\n
However, those doctor appointments sometimes don\u2019t turn out as expected, and patients end up in uncomfortable situations.<\/p>\n
Nobody knows when sickness knocks on the door. But when it does, we must take precautions by seeking medication to ensure we are healthy. But some of those doctor visits have turned out to be memorable experiences for some people.<\/p>\n
On Reddit, these patients openly shared their encounters during doctor\u2019s appointments, capturing the interest of fellow Redditors. While some of these anecdotes are hilarious, others are not-so-funny. Here\u2019s what they had to say.<\/p>\n

1. Blue-Handed Patient\u2019s Unusual Condition Turned To Be Blue Jeans<\/p>\n
u\/raybanomics: Not me, but my roommate went to the doctor because his hands were turning blue. He was born premature and has always had horrible circulation. So he goes to the doctor, who is so puzzled about what\u2019s happening that she calls to consult other doctors.<\/p>\n
She returns to the room with alcohol swabs, and the blue starts coming off. Apparently, he had not washed his new jeans, and the ink kept rubbing off on his hands every time he put them in his pocket.<\/p>\n
2. Going Commando Led to an Awkward Encounter<\/p>\n
u\/olialm1: I had my physical examination and forgot to wear underwear. I pretty much go commando all the time unless I\u2019m wearing a short dress, so when my doctor told me to \u201cput the gown on but keep your bra and underwear on,\u201d I facepalmed.<\/p>\n
When he went to lift my gown so he could feel around on my stomach, I turned bright red and said, \u201cI\u2019m not wearing underwear,\u201d to which he responded by giving me this weird look.<\/p>\n
3. When a Cough Turned into a Burp<\/p>\n
u\/kev0h: Way back when I was in peewee football, I had to go for a sports physical. I was pretty young then. When the doctor told me to turn my head and cough, I panicked because I hadn\u2019t coughed in a while, so instead, I burped.<\/p>\n
4. The Doctors Clashed over Shorter Limb<\/p>\n
u\/epona92: My left leg is slightly shorter than my right leg (approx. 1.5 cm, so nothing too drastic), and when I was younger, I had to see a specialist because I also had scoliosis.<\/p>\n
The doctor was older and German and had three international interns: one from South Africa, one from Mexico, and one from China.<\/p>\n
After taking x-rays, the German doctor returned and informed me that my right leg was shorter than my left, pointing to the hip displacement in the x-ray. I corrected him, but he insisted that my right leg was shorter.<\/p>\n
The South African came to my defense and pointed out that he was looking at the X-ray backward. The German doctor didn\u2019t believe any of it, and their argument got so heated that the Mexican and Chinese doctors excused themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
