A woman entered the room, had her hair tied back, wearing a lab coat with a stethoscope around her neck and a clipboard in her hand. She entered with a smile, and spoke to me, "Hi there! I'm Dr. Brown and I'll be examining you today. Please take a seat."
I followed her command, taking a seat on the exam table, my rear feeling cold against the crinkly paper. Dr. Brown closes the door behind her and sits in the chair across from the table, consulting her clipboard before declaring, "So...I imagine today's been a really weird day for you huh?"
"You could certainly say that..." I respond.
"Yeah, says here that last night you were a twenty-eight year old man last night...You certainly don't look to be that now. How bout we figure out where your body is at right now, eh?" She says, kind of eying me and my newfound body.
"Uh...sure? What exactly are you going to do to figure that out though? You guys think that this change has something to do with like our blood or something?" I ask, clueless to anything medical happening.
"Maybe," the doctor responds, "maybe not. We don't know much right now. Best we can do is check the blood, see if anything looks unusual and go from there. There are a lot of things we know we can learn from some tests though. For example, blood tests will let us learn your body's age, so so we can mark that on your new ID when they get those rolling. Not to mention if you have any genetic changes, diseases, things like that ya know? Regardless, what do you say we take a look at you? I can tell you a little bit about your new body."
She spoke so nonchalantly about it all. Like this was just a routine check-up, which was nice to a degree, but one thing she said was a bit off putting. I figured this was more important, so I'd just follow along for now, maybe learn something about being a woman.
Dr. Brown ran me through a routine check-up for the most part, checking my heart rate, blood pressure, and drawing some blood which she puts to the side. She also was kind enough to take measurements of my body adding, "I can't imagine you know much about lady's clothes so I'll be sure to give you a sheet with your sizes before you leave today, okay?"
"Oh, uh, yeah that'd be great." I reluctantly say. If they're talking about giving me sizes for new clothes, I doubt they have a cure or fix for this...what am I gonna do.
The doctor continues the physical, eventually asking me to lie down on the table. I obey her, not worried about anything, until she places her gloved fingers under my gown on my...new lady parts. I shoot up immediately, surprised by the sensitivity of my lower mound, "HEY! What the hell was that???" I questions furiously.
"Relax! I have to check your genitals for any lumps, I'm sure you had doctors do this to your old parts, just lay back, relax, it'll be over before you know it."
Cautiously, I lay back and let her work. The exam continues, and she eventually investigates my chest as well, finding nothing but their own existence apparently, but I'm too distracted to think about her examining my new pieces. I'm stuck thinking about how sensitive my nether regions were to her touch. Thinking about how much I kind of wanted more...maybe I'd have to test it out later? I mean if I was gonna be in this body a while, I might want to know how that works.
Dr. Brown finishes up, asks me to stand. She finishes up by taking my height, weight, and body measurements, citing that she needs them so she can tell me, "what will fit me." Which I suppose makes sense, but it felt quite strange to have a doctor even measure my body like that.
At the end of the exam, she goes to leave the room and says to me, "I'll go compile all this and get it to the government people. I'll be back in a few minutes to get you some papers and then you'll be good to go. You'll probably have to come back some time soon, but that will depend on the blood work. Do you have any questions? Or any I could answer?"
"Yes actually. You mentioned my body's age? We're you saying I might not be twenty-eight any more?" I asked questioningly.
"It's possible. Again we don't know much. But its early and I've had children turned to middle-aged morons and seniors who are in diapers now...like baby diapers. Things are strange so we'll have to see."
"Jeez...so...what are you going to do to me if you find out I'm a minor?"
"I won't do anything, that'll be someone else's job. But hunny, to tell the truth, you're not a minor. You seen that body? No kid looks like that, and that's clear as day." She says winking at me, before striding out of the room.
I can feel my cheeks growing red from the embarrassment of that compliment? At least I thought it was a compliment. I guess I hadn't thought about that. This body was impressive, but I'd never thought about how "old" this body was compared to my own. I wonder what they'd have me do. I wonder what they'll have me do in general. Only time will tell I suppose.
Dr. Brown returns maybe 15 minutes later, hands me two sheets of paper. One is my sizes, which are far more detailed than I could ever imagined. I never had anything this specific as a guy. But then I looked at the other paper and I just had to ask, "What is this?"
"That is your new identity." She said plainly, like it was a consent form for the flu shot, "You have a new body, you can change your whole identity, fill in your eye color, hair color, and a new name for yourself. After that, they're asking you go straight home, and isolate until they distribute new identification to everyone."
"A new name?" I said in a bit of momentary shock, "It can be anything I want?"
Dr. Brown nodded to me.
After thinking for a moment, I put my new name down, listed all my new features that belonged on my driver's license, and handed it back to Dr. Brown.
She took it, read it for a moment and said to me, "Thank you very much, Grace. You're free to head home."
