Routine Health Exam

I grumbled and walked with the assistant up to the nurse, eyeing the chair suspiciously. No way I’m sitting up to that thing. There was the nurse, writing something on her clipboard before glancing up and leaving her sights to me.

“Ah, Alex. Nice to see you again. If you would please sit-”

“I’m not sitting on that thing.”

She raised her eyes and shared a look with her assistant before looking back to me. “Oh, why is that?” I frowned. “I don’t like it and I just saw what you used it for. It’s all metal and it has these things to spread your legs.” I said, pointing at the stirrups, “It just looks more fit for females than it does males and I’m not sitting my ass on that medieval bondage chair.”

A sound of silence passed through the room lasting a minute, maybe two. The nurse flipped a page from her clipboard and began scribbling before clearing her throat. “Okay then Alex, we won’t **** you into something you’re uncomfortable with. Please, have a seat on the bed then.”

Much better. I nod and gladly do so, not wanting to give them too rough a time. I suppose I’m a bit pissed after what just happened with Jessica, but oh well. Nothing to be done about that for now, it’s just another thing to stack onto my pile of worry’s. I love this school.

“Okay then, Alex this is my assistant Amanda. She’s been volunteering to help me through these health exams.” Amanda, the assistant waved hello before removing her face mask, showing her cute young face and flashing a smile at me. She had pretty green eyes, I don’t think I’ve seen a student with green eyes so far, and brown hair while rocking a few blonde highlights. “Hi Alexis, nice to meet you.”

“It’s Alex, but nice meeting you too.” I nodded in return as the nurse pulled in her stethoscope and slipped it under my shirt onto my chest. It was cold and caught me off guard making me shiver slightly. “Breathe for me dear.” She requested as Amanda stroked my arm to comfort me. I nodded and took in a deep breath. “Again.” Another breath. She pulled away and scribbled something down.

“Umm Olivia, shouldn’t it be best to have our patient remove his top clothing in case of possible interference and easy accessibility?” Nurse Olivia nodded in agreement. “Excellent suggestion, Alex would you please?” I shrugged and unbuttoned my shirt, taking it off and realizing how cold it was in the room. Her stethoscope didn’t help when it was pressed against my back this time.

“Nurse, may I?” Amanda asked. Olivia looked up and passed the medical tool to her aide, who then sat up behind me and pressed the stethoscope against my back. “A little lower, like that.” Olivia added. I felt Amanda’s free hand on my shoulder before sliding down my arm and landing atop my hand. After taking a few more deep breaths, she pull the cold metal away from me.

“Thanks!” She said cheerfully, passing Olivia back her stethoscope. The nurse scribble down some more notes before glancing around the counter looking for something. “Amanda would you continue the exam for me, I seem to have misplaced my coffee.” Her aide nodded with a beaming smile. “Of course! Take your time, I’ll go ahead and finish with the rest.”

“It’ll just be a minute, I’ll be right back. I’ll leave you to Amanda’s care for now okay?” I nodded and we both watched her hand her clipboard to Amanda before walking out the door, hearing Yvonne say hello to her as she exited.
