 Those economically depressed times were a significant influence in how medical and dental care was carried out during the 50's and 60's where I grew up. Glass thermometers were always sitting in containers at the doctor's and decaying teeth were extracted for a nominal fee at the dentist.

At home the enema bag was ever present and it was frequently hanging above the tub to dry due to frequent use. Once purchased, it only took a quart or two of water and maybe some soap to treat most any malady.

If our pediatrician came to the house, he always reminded mom to give me an enema and keep my bowels moving. Rectal temps were very common as were shots in the butt. If we went to his office, nurse Marge asked about our BM's and mom told her about the enemas she had to give us if we missed a BM.

I grew up hating our pediatrician.
