I'm currently covered in bruises from bites and some other smaller marks, and have a medical appointment very soon

My partner asked me if I already know what I'm gonna say in case they ask, and I said "the truth, I guess, the bites are pretty distinguishable"

And we ended up joking about the doctor actually complimenting my marks as if they were into BDSM as well

And we were wondering how many times a health care provider from the community has actually seen someone with very clear play marks on them

Statistically it has to have happened a lot, so I want to ask if you work in healthcare, do you have any good stories about this? Did the patient initially told the truth or tried to make an excuse?

But also, my partner is going with me to the appointment, do they need to worry about being questioned in some way? We really don't have any problem explaining ourselves
