Subject: Re: rectal temp 4 all Author: Natalie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Tuesday, December 08, 2020, 03:37: pm In reply to: Ted 's message, "rectal temp 4 all" on Sunday, December 06, 2020, 12:57: am My Mother would have agreed you 100% Ted. Growing up Mom had three glass rectal thermometers, one for myself, my older brother and younger sister. We were all very close in age. We all had our temperatures taken rectally well into our teen years. This also held true for visits to our pediatrician. At least until 13. Our Mother just thought that it was the most accurate, and there was no argument, that’s just the way she did it. I should mention I’m in my sixties, when rectal temps were the norm.

If mom even thought one of us had a fever you got called into the bed room . She would tell you that she was going to take your temperature in your bottom. She continued to do it this way until we were 11 or 12. It was the same way at the pediatricians office.I know the last time I was there I was 14 and this was the same way they took your temperature because it was the most accurate way.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: rectal temp 4 all Author: Rick [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, February 01, 2021, 03:25: pm Hi Mike I can vouch for pediatrician’s policies for rectal temps from my own experience. I was required to have a physical exam for admission to a private prep high school as a freshman and my mom took me for my exam. As we waited in the examination room, me stripped down to just my underpants, the nurse entered and took my measurements, my blood pressure and my pulse. Then I was instructed to lie down on my stomach and she lowered my underpants and inserted a rectal thermometer. I remember vividly that it seemed an eternity with her holding the thermometer in place while casually conversing with my mom. I didn’t say anything until she left but I complained to my mom as soon as she was gone, getting little sympathy but an admonition to be cooperative or risk a spanking.

[> [> Subject: Re: rectal temp 4 all Author: Jimmy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, October 23, 2021, 05:56: pm My Mom had a very gentle touch unless she was using her paddle on my bottom. She spanked me over her knee so when I was small, she took my temperature rectally in that position, as well. I loved it. She would take my pants down or off then gently place me over her knee and lower my undies toy knees. After lubing the thermometer and my little hole, she would gently insert the glass stick into my rectum about an inch. Then came my favorite part of the process. She would rest her warm hand on my bottom with the thermometer between her middle and index fingers for the recommended four minutes before pulling it out slowly and replacing my clothes. A few years later, I began playing doctor with my sister and male and female friends. All my games were private so I had more freedom. I would use the proceedure mom used on me with my patient over my knee. I also gave them play shots in that position as well. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
