Did anyone ever gat a spanking before a shot for misbehaving or resisting?
When doctors still made house calls I was not feeling well. The doctor came and first my temperature was taken in my bottom. When it registered I had a fever the doctor told my mother I would have to get a shot and just leave me in that positon. I rolled over and refused.
My mother told me to roll over and I refused. She then picked me up and put me over her knee and gave me a spanking. She then held me in position while the doctor gave me the shot.
She then let me up and talked to the doctor for a few minutes and then he left.
I had a really sore bottom, but never resisted again.

Seems your doctor, even back then would have raised an objection, if not an eyebrow that your Mopm was spanking you. At least that's a personal opinion.

No he was a friend of the family and believed in spanking.

Bella defied adult (mother and the doc) authority. In addition, the place was her house where her mother would not have had to worry about critical spectators. As Bella notes, the spanking made a lasting impression.

Here's my take on this...regardless of the fact that the doctor was a family friend,and the other circumstances etc., I find it hard to think that any physician treating a sick child or teen would not have a problem with a parent administering any kind of physical corporal punishment. To me, and I could be way off here, but it seems the part of the physicians' oath, ...to "do no harm" would not let him in good conscience watch and not suggest such behavior by a parent/guardian would not be acceptable to him/her. Just my humble opinion.

Rich, I would have to agree with you considering our culture these days. Bella didn't specify when her event occurred, however. I grew up in the 1950-60s & corporal punishment was a fact of life then. More than once, I heard a child threatened with a spanking for resisting whatever medical treatment was about to be administered, often a shot.

Somewhat off topic: My father was military & we moved to Virginia Beach in 1961. Corporal punishment was the norm in public schools there. Usually it meant paddling a student's upturned palm with a double-thickness Smokey Bear ruler. However, paddling of backsides with a yardstick happened once in my sixth grade class. One boy & one girl were the recipients. In high school, the assistant principal was the only one who administered spankings. My brother was admonished in about 1995 when he publoicly swatted the backside of his mouthy 13yo son in the parking lot of the military exchange on a US base in Okinawa.

I agree wituh Walt. First, back when doctors made house calls, spankings were pretty universal. Second, the doctor apparently thought the injection was important for the child's health, so certainly a few swats on the child's backside was a small price to pay if it was going to lead to what he felt was needed. Third, a busy doctor does not want to wait 15 or 30 minutes while a parent tried to beg, bribe, or argue a stubborn child into cooperating. Fourth, it is only recently that society and the government has come to the conclusion it has a "right" to tell parents how to raise their children. So even if the doctor disagreed with the spanking, he wasn't likely to interfer, not if he wanted to continue being their physicain.

I think it would have wasted less of the docs time if after Bella was flipped over her mother lap the doc gave her the shot while her mother held her down. Being forcibly held down tightly would be the natural punishment for not turning back over for the shot. Not that I`m against spanking but I think it is a bit much to spank a sick kid when it would have been quicker to just hold her legs and chest down with her butt sticking up for the doc.

Belinda's comment prompted me to recall a memory from my own childhood. The incident involved me receiving an injection that I had decided at the time I did NOT want to receive. I was in the hospital & had just come out of recovery for surgery when one of the medics decided I needed an injection of something. My mother was observing & recalled that it took four docs and/or nurses to hold me down (boy age 7, under 50 lbs.) and the fifth one to give the injection. I didn't recall the event but my subconscious seemed to have recorded it & I had to be dragged to get shots for quite a few years afterward. At the time - 1957 - spanking was a regular occurrence in a kid's life & it usually got the desired results.

I totally agree with the message of "Leo", it is perfectly true for that time and each of his four points is very pertinent, especially those about the fact that the doctor could not loose his time because of a stubborn child objecting to a shot, and also that parents were the only ones to decide how to raise their children at home.

I got a spanking from my doctor. He was a friend of my dads,and he would spank me before the injection. He told me it helped the meds go in faster.

Jen, what your doc told you sounds like BS to me. He probably suspected you wouldn't believe him if he told you that the sting in your butt (from his spanking) would distract you from the sting, burn, or other discomfort that the injection caused you. I never received a spanking for that purpose so I don't know the truth of the claim. Did it work in your case?
