‘Not a GP but I crashed my bike (cycling) badly once and was unconscious, and when the paramedics turned up they cut my lycra shorts off me not realising you’re not meant to wear underwear with them. They got quite a view.’

‘My mother’s friend ran a mobile breast cancer screening unit several years ago. A woman came in for a scan so she told her “take your blouse and bra off, pop them on the chair and I’ll be back in a second for the scan”. She returned two minutes later to find the woman kneeling on the floor with her breasts on the chair.’

‘I’ll just say if you’re ever told “strip to the waist”, clarify which half.’

‘I got a sex injury. I won’t go in to details but it was internal and undeniably a sex injury. I had to explain it to the receptionist, then a nurse, then the GP. The receptionist always gives me a knowing nod when I go in now. We had a good giggle on the day but it was undeniably embarrassing.’

‘Not GP but dentist. When I was around 9 I needed some minor thing where at the end I was given mouthwash. I’d never used it before and put it in my mouth and it was too minty to swallow and spitting felt rude, so I held it there as my mother dealt with everything, signed forms and whatever. Me there with full cheeks that nobody noticed.

‘It was in a slightly dodgy area and above a pharmacy that meth heads used so the dentist surgery had cameras on the stairs and when leaving the burning was too much I ended up spitting it out all over, looking up at the camera in worry and legged it.’

‘My (sadly now deceased) sister in law held a bbq once alas she and a few other people caught campylobacter and were quite sick. She told her (NHS) colleagues that she was off because she had chlamydia.’

‘My partner told me this story: he was having a lump checked in his scrotum and when they put on the gel, he asked “So when’s the baby due?”. The doctor did not laugh.’

‘Many years ago I went for a smear test. Needed a wee while I was waiting so used the surgery’s loo. No toilet paper. Ah well – I had a tissue in my handbag and used that.

‘Got onto the table and assumed the position. The doctor took a pair of tweezers, removed… a postage stamp from my nethers and calmly said “I assume this is yours?”’

‘GP was checking my bum for haemorrhoids. Asks me to lay down on my side and raise my knees to my chest. She spread my cheeks and I farted in her face, then because I was so nervous and embarrassed, I chuckled and farted in her face AGAIN. Could not apologise enough. Probably felt like the equivalent of a bomb defusal going back in there for a third look, poor lady.’
