Subject: Surgery, exams and procedures I've had

My odd doctor’s visits from when I was 3 to 17.
From when I was born until I was 12 I was living with my adopted parents in the US. I was adopted shortly after birth so I don’t really know much about my birth parents.
When I was 3 I had surgery that I later found out was to fix an undescended testicle. I had an odd experience during it at one point I woke up but couldn’t feel much other than I had a tube in my throat but I also heard someone say that the found the testicle and it looked viable and it was time to make the next incision and then guide it to the scrotum. Next thing I remember is waking up again as they said it was all done and time to close. I then woke up again in a room with some other people who had surgery and it was kind of dark and I don’t really remember much until they took me to a room with my parents.

After that thingy were uneventful until I was 13 and my parents and I moved to Germany. I was in a boarding school for most of the year where I had classes in both English and German and part way through the year they would switch which subjects were in each language except for a class we had in each languages grammar and stuff like that.
Well I was at the school we would have exams done on our bodies and also things like dental exams and orthodontist exams. Also at the school we had two different uniforms to wear our weekday uniform and a weekend uniform. The weekday uniform was a pair of brown semi casual pants and a white dress shirt with a tie, on weekends we wore a the same pants but with a golf style short sleeve shirt.
When we were scheduled for a physical exam we would report to the on campus hospital and check in and we would be directed to a room we would open with our student card in the same way that we would open the door to our dorm room. Inside the room would be a hospital gown hanging up, a pair of disposable underwear that only covered the front parts and a pair of disposable shorts to put on overtop and a pair of plastic booties to put on our bare feet as well as a mask to put on over our mouth and nose. After we would change into the exam clothes and hang up our uniforms we would ring a door bell on the second door in the room and wait until we were brought into the exam room where a nurse would check our height and weight before bringing us to a room with an exam table in it where the doctor would perform an exam on us. During the exam they would check our heart and lungs and our abdomen. During my first exam at the school was when I learned about what my surgery was for and the doctor offered to get a copy of the surgery report if I wanted to read it.
For dental exams we would be taken to a dental chair and have to put on a plastic gown over our uniforms if we had a shirt and tie on we could loosen it and undo the top button of our shirts during the dental exams or orthodontist appointments.
Well I was at the school I had a couple of procedures done as well which required an overnight stay.
