I was 14 or 15 the last time the doctor came to the house. I always shivered when I saw the black bag he carried with all the instruments he needed. First thing he did, right after feeling my glands around my neck, was to take my temperature. I always hoped to have it taken in my mouth, but expected the worst, since at the office it was always taken rectally. Sure enough, after shaking down the thermometer he opened the jar of vaseline, and I knew what was coming next. Somehow it didn't bother me as much when the doctor took my temperature, rather than the nurse.
