Well, we had a house visit about a month ago. It wasn't for me - my daughter Melanie (age 9) fainted on her way out of the bathroom. It was her grandma who insisted on calling the health clinic, and to my surprise the family doctor came around.
He did take her oral temperature.
I wanted to believe it was just dehydration but before long he turned the talk to bowel movements (he did, not me!) suggested that she might have overstrained herself trying to do a smelly (he didn't use those words of course!) And so...he gave Mel a rectal exam, which she was not at all happy about, esp. when I had to help get her into poeition!

The doc then advised me to give her a suppository and said "I'll leave it to you, I know you know what you're doing here..." When he'd gone I ended up giving her an enema. Misery, of course - she pleaded with me not to do it and cried all the way through it. But of course it made her do masses of smelly evil, so it was worthwhile

In old times a rectal exam was mandatory if the family doctor suspected constipation of a child! At last a doctor who did his duty! Sue, I don't know the position you have put Mel, perhaps turned on her belly. My mother and aunt were raising apart my and my sisters's legs for a good palpation of the tummy! And believe me it was high time your dughter had to be filled with a good enema! You haven't be shy of washing her out when needed!

She was turned on her side, the way they do it in hospitals.
