9-Doctor Exam - what really happens

Welcome! I know the 8 doctor exam (Is it 9 now? It was 8 when I did it.) sounds scary. It is in place because in Russia there are no gp's. Every doctor is a specialist.Like everything, experiences vary. Mine was very cursory. There are some great stories here about the exam...I hope they'll get shared. If not, search through old threads.(I've never heard of anything invasive. I have heard of both men and women having to remove their tops. Some people stay in one room and the doctors come in. Some people go to different doctor's offices--in the same complex. I've heard about people getting x-rays. I've heard about a brief psych exam. I've never heard about being massaged or a physiognomy exam. Really it sounds much worse than it is.)
