An Unexpected Intimate Encounter with a Nurse

To preface this story, let me start by saying that I don't have intimate encounters with anyone. I am 26 and the only person I've been intimate with is, well, me.


A few years back I was struggling with headaches, dizziness, tiredness, just generally unwell. I went through a few cat scans, MRIs, x-rays until the doctor finally suggested an electro-cardiogram.


I didn't actually know what this test entails, just that it monitors your heart. But it was booked, I took the day off and my mom drove me to the clinic. We waited in the lobby and the time passed uneventfully.


My name was called and I followed this really nice woman who took me to my room and told me to remove my clothes but that I could leave my shorts on. She asked me if I wanted a male or female nurse. I thought, shouldn't matter, they gave me a gown, I'll be covered. So I told her I didn't care what the gender was.


She left me alone saying that the technician would knock before entering. I undressed and piled my clothes on the chair. Removed all the bobbi pins from my hair as apparently that would send the machine haywire. I covered myself with the gown and laid down on the table that I was indicated to.


Now I'm a large woman, so as soon as I lay down, my breasts want to become arm cushions and fall to either side. After waiting uncomfortably for a few minutes, I hear a knock and in comes my male nurse. Fine. He introduces himself, starts setting up the machine and tells me he's going to attach wires to my chest and legs. I'm thinking that's fine, shoulders, arms, legs. All good.


He finished setting up the computer, turns to me and without warning flips my gown up so I am completely exposed.


Well, that was unexpected.


He grabs the sticky tabs and wires and puts two on my chest, before having to manually lift my breast from the side of my chest to place a sticky tab on both sides. He finishes hooking me up before glancing at me, my chest, and asking if I'm cold. He turns a space heater on and directs it to my chest.


Just great.


Turns out, my heart is fine and I did not have any issues with the electro-cardiogram. But that will always be the very first time a male saw me partially naked. I was mortified. My mom thought it was hilarious.
