Patients reveal the most awkward doctor visit they’ve ever had

Going to the doctor isn’t always pleasant—but sometimes, it’s unexpectedly awkward or even funny. Reddit users shared their most memorable visits: Backwards X-ray Debate: A doctor insisted a girl’s right leg was shorter. An intern corrected him—it turned out he was reading the X-ray backward. The debate got so intense, two other interns walked out.

Blue Hands Mystery: A guy panicked over his hands turning blue. After consulting multiple doctors, it turned out he hadn’t washed his new jeans—the dye was rubbing off.

No Underwear: One woman forgot she was going commando during a physical. When told to “leave your underwear on,” she had to awkwardly confess she wasn’t wearing any.

Flirty Doctor: A flu patient got creeped out when his doctor started comparing him to John Cusack—and even played with his hair—right before his wife walked in.

Too Much Info: During a pelvic exam, a doctor reassured a pregnant woman there was “plenty of room in there.” She meant the pelvis; the woman heard something else entirely.

Red Toilet Paper Scare: A student thought he was bleeding from the butt—until he remembered binging on Flamin’ Hot Cheetos the night before.

Taste Bud Panic: One person freaked out over spots on their tongue—only to learn they were just… taste buds. The doctor couldn’t stop smiling.

Vanishing Pain: A sports injury patient swore he was in pain, but every time the doctor checked, he said, “Nope, doesn’t hurt.” Every visit ended the same way: “You’re fine.”

Cheating Revealed: One woman accompanied her husband to the doctor after he started smelling awful. The diagnosis? An STD—and he confessed to cheating right there in the exam room.
