I Am Paula

Since I moved to a new town eleven months ago, very few people know me in guy mode. Only the nieghbours have really seen me both ways. I got an appointment for a physical with my new doctor, who had never met me. I've seen doctors before who saw my women's panties, but this was the first time completely dressed. After the usual form completion, I sat in the waiting room for an age, as countless young mothers brought in feverish babies.
Finally brought into a female doctor who looked about 20 years old. First we sat at her desk while she filled in my medical history, very politely she asked if I was on any feminizing medications, and stressed to be honest if I was buying anything from overseas. I assured her I was totally homegrown. She asked if I engaged in any risky sexual activity. Once again, no. To my suprise, she asked if I had a femme name. I asked if it was for my medical records, and she said no, just a courtesy when my name was called in the waiting room, and even asked if they should use Celeste on the phone. She called me Celeste for the rest of the visit. Next I was given a robe, and told to undress, and she would be back. I asked if I should take off my bra. She asked if I had implants, and when I answered no, she said to leave it on, she just routinely examines implants. I waited, in a hospital robe, bra and panties, wondering if I had done the right thing here (yes, they matched and were clean!). On her return, she gave me an absolutely routine physical, including the 'turn and cough', with utmost professionalism, and stoney nonchalance.
After I redressed we chatted a few minutes. I asked how much they taught about transgenderism in med. school. she replied, not much, but they take a class on trans patient protocols, and procedures. I commended her on her politeness, and courtesy, and apologized for not calling ahead to mention I would be dressed. She said think nothing of it, come the way your comfortable.
In conclusion, I was incredibly impressed with her, and the people at her office. I don't think I would have been treated any differently in drag or drab, and that's the way it should be.-Celeste
P.S. Healthy as a horse.
