    A latex glove.

    Head to toe assessment, this covers hair, skin, nails, coloring, behavior, eyes, ears, mouth,lips,everything he can see. Then everything he can hear, heart, bowels, lungs, etc...then palpate is usually last. This is when he touches you for lumps, i.e. breast, stomach....., lymph nodes for lumps, edema...etc..


    next is , depending on sex...


    for women pelvic exam


    for men testicle exam


    some doctors check the rectal sphincters muscles too.


    Blood  will be drawn and urine sample (you provide this)


    enjoy!

    Are you male or female? By your nickname I assume you are female. Expect a pap smear, breast exam, blood draws  and a lot of talk (questions).

    a grin on your face...
