Ellen you're right except that way back when, parents were always worried when a kid got sick because they knew very little about illnesses. So a big deal was made of any illness. Since a doctor only had a few healing medicines, the kid almost always got a shot of Penicillin.....I think it traumatized many kids......Tim

I do think shots can be traumatizing, but the much more frequent sight of the enema bag or can headed your way could be equally or more so.

I think if I had been given a choice between getting an enema or getting a shot I would have chosen the enema every time. It must be the smell of the antiseptic that they wipe on your skin before the needle goes in, but I start to breathe faster and feel light headed every time I get a whiff of it. By comparison an enema does not evoke all that bad of feelings.
