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.
