Probably admitting that my weird, itchy rash was definitely because I hadn’t changed my bedsheets in way too long… 😅 So gross, but gotta be honest to get the right cream!
The fact that I had a colon camera stuck inside my butt that was the worse thing happened in my life I felt more impressed than I was given birth with my whole half body is naked
I gave myself a concussion my slipping and hitting my nose on my boyfriend’s chin. Urgent care sent me to ER to get some kind of scan to check on my nose. Idk the paper said “life threatening” I think at least 7 different nurses/doctors at the ER gave me the abuse screening questions. They didn’t stop until I started listing all my other dumb accidents that mostly happened when my boyfriend wasn’t even in the same state. Including how I will randomly completely lose my balance while standing still and just fall for no reason
This was in an ambulance so not like I was at a doctors practice, but it was when I attempted suicide when I was younger, and I had to fess up after being asked several times if I had taken anything, when she opened up and said “I really do not want you to all of a sudden become unconscious or pass away because you haven’t told me “
And It really did make me want to be honest, and it was super hard to admit, and honestly I felt ashamed.
I once needed antibiotics for a uti on my large breed dog. She was extremely aggressive (has since passed, our house was Fort Knox, never had any incidents) but I could not bring her to the vet or even let a vet come to my house to do a physical examination. I read online that dog pee is the same as human pee, so I brought her pee sample to my doctor and said it was mine. He low key accused me of being promiscuous – but I got the antibiotics.
First day of college, I learned what a migraine was. Unfortunately, it was also my first year going to burn. Let’s say I was a little liberal on the drug use. When asked at the nurse’s office which drugs I’ve been on in the last 48 hours, I just opted for saying not heroin, I think.
I have schizophrenia, I told the psychiatrist in the psych ward that I felt like I needed to drain all the blood out of my body so I can get back to the right timeline. Truly believed it at the time.
Back when I was a child I sucked the air out of a glass bottle and got stuck. Somehow I managed to free myself but my lip looked like I was happy on Botox. I was very embarrassed and said to my grandparents I got stung by a bee or something and we went to the doctor where the truth came out.
I had a rash that went down my labia and up around my butt into my tailbone. It was like thong rash and absolutely awful. Everyone assumed it was an STD then I had to explain I hadn’t had sex in 8 years. Finally my 4th doctor seeing it said herpes doesn’t spread up your back, this looks like shingles. Turns out I had a really horrible case of shingles in a very uncommon place. I was hospitalized for something a month later and had to embarrassingly tell a room full of doctors and medical students all about my shingles.
I went for a super itchy rash. My lovely GP said- this looks like scabies. Turns out my severely alcoholic ex had banged a homeless girl IN MY BED while watching our child. No, I didn’t know how bad he had gotten, and he didn’t watch our child again until he was sober, almost a year and a half later. He went untreated for scabies for a year and a half- that’s how horrible and disgusting alcoholism is 🥺 Very blessed that he did get sober and is now a great father!
Walked in with a 14 inch combat knife and told my dr if I didn’t get help I’d stick it in my own neck. I have untreated eupd and desperately need therapy
When I was 19 I ripped the “bridge” of my foreskin while having some drunken rough one night stand fun. Ended up getting a circumcision. Explaining to my mom why I needed to see a doctor immediately was more embarrassing than telling my doctor though lmao.
I had gotten bit by a spider on my breast in my sleep…the spot was the size of a quarter by the time I got in to see her. Needless to say she had a good laugh about that one. And she prescribed me about 800mg of anti-venom medication. Not ideal…
Oh I was heavily pregnant and decided to do the “birth shave” I had really bad haemorrhoids at the time and nipped my arsehole causing the haemorrhoid to bleed profusely 🫣so I had to embarrassingly explain I am bleeding from my arsehole as I was trying to shave it. Never gone near a razor again.
I called the doctors office and they couldn’t get me in and I had to tell the receptionist “I’ve had diarrhea for 6 days” so they said they’d try to get me in after all
Not me… but anyone remember that story about that guy in Australia who got bit (on two separate occasions about a year apart) by a redback spider on his penis?
Can you imagine having to tell the doctor— “yeah mate, Spider bite on the todger again”
That the daily vomiting I was experiencing turned out to be from self induced stress, not an illness. After I figured it out, I had to tell the doctor it was all in my head and anti-nausea meds weren’t going to help it stop. Extremely embarrassing.
When I gave birth to my son, I pushed when I was told not. The doctor was doing a small incision at the time. So I ended up needing 32 stitches inside and out. After a few follow-up appointments, I had to tell the OB that “when I fart, it now goes forward, bubbling to my vagina.” Yep. This happened.
I had internal hemorrhoids but didn’t know. My asshole was literally on fire and it hurt to walk, sit, pee, poop. Everything. I finally went to the hospital because I had convinced myself something serious was wrong. The doctor came in, shoved his finger up my ass, wiggled it around, and said I have hemorrhoids. I got a prescription for hemorrhoid ointment…
I had a relationship with a medical student when I was at University. One afternoon when we were in bed she suddenly got up and grabbed her penlight and disappeared under the covers. A few moments later she diagnosed that I had a hydrocele around one of my love spuds.
The diagnosis involves placing a torch against the testicle. The hydrocele is a sac of fluid around the testicle, and because its fluid light will go through it, so the whole scrotum is illuminated.
This wasn’t particularly embarrassing, but going to the University medical centre and getting the GP to confirm the diagnosis in order to be referred to get it operated on was embarrassing.
In Canada we don’t do preventative checks anymore. For example as a man you’re supposed to get prostate and colon exams starting in your 30s. But we don’t have the resources to do that.
I made up anal bleeding so I could get a colonoscopy at 35.
blood in stool. for a while. one doctor was like ‘well.. some people have bloody noses. some people have bloody assholes’. i was floored by how unprofessional his response was, after gathering the courage to tell him this (and to make the appointment and tell the person making the appointment).
I had to do it all over again with a different doctor, who said I had a sever case of Hemmeroids.
I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety this past year (I have depression and anxiety disorder, though I’m not taking meds, for years now). One night I hyped myself up in a really bad way and just could not calm down, and my anxiety convinced me I was getting a heart attack, and I called an ambulance.
It was embarrassing because a tiny, still logical part of my brain knew it was not true. But it felt like I had no control over my own body. Two super nice EMTs got to my apartment, helped me calmed down and listened to me a little. I felt guilty and embarrassed and thought what if maybe someone really needed help and I was holding up an ambulance for a hissy fit, but they calmed me down and told me not to worry about other people, that everybody is taken care of.
Sadly, I can’t afford therapy, but I managed to apply for 20 free therapy sessions at the local hospital, I started this week actually, so I’m hoping this won’t happen in the future.
I’m kinda slutty, but a responsible slut, so I went to our city’s public health department for STI testing. While asking me some sexual health questions, one was “How many sexual partners have you had recently?” I asked, “What time frame do you mean?” She said, “let’s say 6 months.”
My eyes got huge and she could see steam coming out my ears as I tried to estimate. She said, “We’ll just leave that one blank…”
My silence was quite embarrassing. I always wonder if she would have guessed more or less than the 30ish guys that it was.

Probably admitting that my weird, itchy rash was definitely because I hadn’t changed my bedsheets in way too long… 😅 So gross, but gotta be honest to get the right cream!
Told my doctor I googled my symptoms and was 95% sure I had 3 rare diseases… turns out it was just gas 😅💀
Personally
The fact that I had a colon camera stuck inside my butt that was the worse thing happened in my life I felt more impressed than I was given birth with my whole half body is naked
I had C-Diff, I had to confess that I was quite literally shitting blood.

I never got the scan btw.
I went in for a check up. The doctor said your heart rate is very fast “are you nervous?” I looked him in the eyes and told him I was on white.
This was in an ambulance so not like I was at a doctors practice, but it was when I attempted suicide when I was younger, and I had to fess up after being asked several times if I had taken anything, when she opened up and said “I really do not want you to all of a sudden become unconscious or pass away because you haven’t told me “
And It really did make me want to be honest, and it was super hard to admit, and honestly I felt ashamed.
But I am so glad I did.

That I was getting sexually abused at 13 and I needed help for the alcohol problem it helped me create,
I was greatly constipated. The doctor had to inject muscle relaxant INTO my ANUS. THREE TIMES.
I had a rash that went down my labia and up around my butt into my tailbone. It was like thong rash and absolutely awful. Everyone assumed it was an STD then I had to explain I hadn’t had sex in 8 years. Finally my 4th doctor seeing it said herpes doesn’t spread up your back, this looks like shingles.

I had to admit i was wetting the bed. Turns out I have sleep apnea.

That I can’t reliably feed myself.
Asshole problems due to IBS, needed surgery. Not fun.
Bladder issues. Loaded question, we shouldn’t be embarrassed about things we can’t help. IC issues are the butt of every joke, so here we are…
I had gotten bit by a spider on my breast in my sleep…the spot was the size of a quarter by the time I got in to see her. Needless to say she had a good laugh about that one. And she prescribed me about 800mg of anti-venom medication. Not ideal…
Intense headache after orgasm. Had to get a spinal tap.
Straight out the box with my soggy little shrimp I was an 8 year old girl before the doctor found my dick
Oh I was heavily pregnant and decided to do the “birth shave” I had really bad haemorrhoids at the time and nipped my arsehole causing the haemorrhoid to bleed profusely 🫣so I had to embarrassingly explain I am bleeding from my arsehole as I was trying to shave it. Never gone near a razor again.
Got a UTI from using a sounding rod. Straight up told her with no hesitation
I called the doctors office and they couldn’t get me in and I had to tell the receptionist “I’ve had diarrhea for 6 days” so they said they’d try to get me in after all
Getting ED
Not me… but anyone remember that story about that guy in Australia who got bit (on two separate occasions about a year apart) by a redback spider on his penis?
Can you imagine having to tell the doctor— “yeah mate, Spider bite on the todger again”
That I was indeed sexually active. (Doesn’t sound huge, but I’m from a very religious family with a doctor of the same religion.)
“ my dick got bent hard during sex “
That the daily vomiting I was experiencing turned out to be from self induced stress, not an illness. After I figured it out, I had to tell the doctor it was all in my head and anti-nausea meds weren’t going to help it stop. Extremely embarrassing.

How the gerbil got in there

At the ER i had to admit to eating an entire bottle of gummy vitamins. It was just so stupid. I was stoned
