It’s military service versus seductive mischief in this Italian sex comedy starring Edwige Fenech.
THE LADY MEDIC
A busty doctor called to replace a superior in a military hospital, is firmly determined to unmask the soldiers who, to get a leave or postpone their departure, pretend to be sick.
For those who think medical exams should come with more slapstick and less HIPAA.
If 'mandatory service' makes you sweat, just wait until Edwige Fenech shows up with a stethoscope and a penchant for unmasking draft dodgers. Expect risqué medical hijinks, shameless dodges, and more underwear than a Roman laundry day—Italian sex comedies don't get more cheekily literal.

Synopsis
Why Cult
See Edwige Fenech in her element as the smart, seductive doctor who sets the tone for Italian sexploitation farce.
Draft-dodging schemes, fake ailments, and theatrical medical exams are all on the prescription pad.
Flashing, cross-dressing, and enough sexual tension to steam up the barracks—this is Italian erotica with a comedic wink.
From voyeur soldiers to a transvestite and a man without genital organs, the supporting cast is as wild as the premise.
