Another Suspenseful Dr’s App’t

[mistee]

In a week or so, I have another routine follow-up with a Dr. that, during initial consult, asked me if I was ticklish. He’s being careful not to cause any giggles, and, to my disappointment, has been successful thus far in the 2.5 years I’ve had appointments with him. I honestly wish he’d make me laugh, but that’s going to make for a longer conversation I may not have time for. If he thinks it’s inappropriate anyway, that’s obviously a decision I’m going to respect. I’m trying to find the courage to simply ask him why he even asked me if I was ticklish in the first place; the last time a Dr. asked me that, I was 14 years old! Even that’s a tough question for me to ask without feeling embarrassed. Maybe he had a bad experience with a patient, which may be an interesting story in itself. Guess we’ll see how nervous I get the day of the appointment; I feel like I shouldn’t get so worked up, but I do. I have a long way to go in feeling comfortable with this fetish, I guess.

Depending upon the nature of the appointment and any potential examinations involved, it can be very common to be asked that question. A lot of times it's simply them being respectful of the fact that different patients react to stimuli differently, as well as knowing that some people have nearly violent reflexes that can cause injury or respond in a distressful way. Probably one of the more extreme cases of this was from a story I still remember reading about years ago on an old mainstream blog where a woman pre-empted the doctor by warning him she was very ticklish and to be careful. Part of the examination was palpation of the abdomen. There's some techniques for reducing reflexive response while doing so, but even so, as soon as he started, she kicked him right in the face!

This is not uncommon for a Dr or massage therapist to ask their patient/client if they are ticklish before touching them.

The reason being that they can change the way they touch you to reduce if not eliminate the ticklish sensation which many folks want.
