The Moseley Rugby Club get to grips with a new set of balls as Dr Jessen persuades the team to examine themselves for testicular cancer. 90% of testicular cancer cases can be cured if they're picked up early enough, so the team lose their inhibitions along with their towels and strip down to the bare essentials.
The Birmingham University Hockey Club learn how to carry out a thorough breast examination from Dr Harper. 1 in 9 women will develop breast cancer and young women should start regularly checking from the age of 20. So in the hockey club changing rooms, the girls get their kit off and get to grip with their breast.
Patients consulted and diagnosed by the doctors include 33 year old Toni, who's so ashamed of her asymmetrical breasts that she's never let her husband see them. A man's worst STD nightmare is examined by Dr Jessen, while Derek's deformed toenail is driving both him and his partner to distraction.
Three doctors - Dawn Harper, Christian Jessen and Pixie McKenna - will be inviting sufferers of Embarrassing Illnesses to the clinic in a bid to tackle and treat each condition whilst helping them realise they are not alone … thousands of people will also be suffering from exactly the same symptoms.
Being seen by the doctors tonight include: 28 year old Teresa Jenkins who has something nasty in her ear you'd normally find in a vagina, and 20 year old Jack Molyneux whose constant and very smelly diarrhoea is ruining his life. Also bringing their embarrassment to the clinic are Christina who thinks she has piles.
Being seen by the doctors tonight include: 21 year old Chris Cooney who can't bear being stared at any longer … he has a gigantic hairy mole that covers his entire shoulder! 26 year old Jenna who's at the end of her tether, her life ruined by the pustulating boils that constantly erupt all over her body.
