A doctor I remember from my early childhood in Oslo Norway back in the 1950es
The name of the doctor was Arne Stein Mellegård and he had his office in an old two-store wooden building near the center of Oslo, The building is there still, as far as I know.
I am sure he visited me when I got sick with throut infections, but I cannot recall explicitly those visits.
But my mother took me to him at his office, at least twice due to ear infection, and I remember particularly two things from these visits.
In the first of these visits, he let me lay on my side at the examination table, then pulled down my throusers and underwear, and stuck some stick-like thing into my rectal opening and then held it there a long time. I had never experienced anything like this before, and it felt really strange, but not painful.
Since I did not see the thing, I cannot be sure what he did, but I think this was my first rectal temp ever. Before that my parents always took my temperature under my armpit, but after that they switched to rectal temps.
The other time he once again let me lay on the examination table. He took forth some kind of tool, actually a otoscope, fastened a conical piece at the tool and stuck that piece into each ear. The conical piece ended in a sort of lancet, and by that he stuck a hole in each of my tympanic membranes. It resulted in a horrible pain. I did not begin crying, but instead uttered: "Do not destroy me".
This doctor had one great hobby that he had kept since his childhood, and that was the boyscout movement. He was one of the leaders in that movement, and he usually had the resposibility for the medical service at boyscout camps or jamborees, and he had international connections in that movement.
Because of this there is actually information about him on the internet, written in Norwegian, but also with some pictures that may be interesting for everybody, and the text can of course be translated fairly well by Google translate.

The man died in 1963 from Lung Cancer. I am not sure if he was a smoker, but his office was in an area with great radon exposure, whith very high cancer incident rate.
