A man and a woman

Lauren’s face grew pale as she saw her regular doctor standing next to a man dressed up in scrubs. “There she is,” Dr Laughton said. “Lauren, I see you’ve come in for a consultation. This is Dr Winston. He’s the best cosmetic surgeon in the field. He’s worked with many men and women of all sizes. If you would please take your clothes off so we can begin the consultation process, that would be great.”

“Take my clothes off?” Lauren said looking down at her chest.

She wore her usual outfit which consisted of a padded bra, spanx, a blouse and pants. She wore heels to make herself look taller and lots of make up. “Yes we need you to strip completely naked. You can go to the back of the room and take everything off. There’s a paper gown on the chair. Put it on like a jacket or a vest,” Dr Laughton said.

“We need to make sure that the surgery you want can work with your body type,” Dr Winston said. “Please make sure to be hasty. We have other patients we must see later.”

Lauren gulped as she stepped into the corner, sliding the flimsy curtain over to prevent the doctors from seeing her as she began to strip her clothes off. She knew this was part of the process, but it was especially embarrassing knowing that the surgeon was a man.
