[quote=Anonymous]OP here -- had a long car ride back from an event with DS without DH there, so we actually started talking. Once we got into it, he told me that he's never been touched down there by anyone except for the exam last yr. Turns out he wasn't expecting that -- just thought they'd look like previous years. So apparently the dr. didn't really give DS a chance to agree to the exam just said "I'm going to do x" and went for it. When DS reacted like "wait ... what, do I have to??" the dr. brushed him off with "no big deal" and "you need to get this done for the sports physical form" kinds of responses. DS actually said "are all doctors just like dad," and when I asked what that meant he actually said "nothing is ever a big deal to them because they just saw someone worse off this morning." Ouch. I've been annoyed with DH's attitude towards DS -- either DS is picking up on that from me or is old enough that he gets it himself that "man up" is uncalled for. [/quote]
