Subject: Re: Temperature taken just before the doctor was called Author: Ralph [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Wednesday, April 10, 2013, 02:41: pm In reply to: Tom 's message, "Temperature taken just before the doctor was called" on Saturday, January 22, 2011, 11:38: am Mom took my temperature rectally before phoning the doctor's office, as it was his policy to make house calls only if there was a fever. Our doctor was efficient and thorough and ended his house call the same way. Taking my temperature rectally while he prepared a shot. He'd part my butt cheeks to read the mercury and then jab the needle in my butt before removing the thermometer. As he was packing up he'd tell my mother what to do, which always included administering an enema as needed. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Temperature taken just before the doctor was called Author: Marc [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Sunday, April 21, 2013, 04:00: pm My mom made it a habit to call the doctor when me or my brothers were sick.even if we were just constipated. She knew what had to be done but knew we would fuss so the doctor conversation was just to reinforce the remedy. I am sure many of the times no one was on the other end of the line. She would say before hanging up; "thank you Dr I will give marc an enema as soon as we hang up" I was panic stricken as she said " honey the dr said you need an enema" I remember one time I was about 16 and I was really plugged up and tried to hide it from her but somehow mothers intuitionkicked in and I knew iwas doomed. I was able to talk her into letting me stay home from school the nextday and asked if she would wait until everyone was out of the house for more privacy. She agreed but told me I would have to go to school at noon.well i tries my damnest to go #2 but no such luck.I was hoping to show her a big result in the toilet. I went to bed and as promised the next morningafter everyone left she came into my room and gently woke me up (I was playing possum) and told me it was time. Like a condemned prisoner i slowly walked down the hall to the bathroom and assumed our normal position on the towel that was already laid in the tub. The bulging enema bag was hanging in its position awaiting to do its job. I big plastic pitcher of warm soapy water was on thecounter for enema #2. In came mom and without a word the nozzle was lubed and into my butt it went. I cringed as I waited for the familiar "click" as the warm soapy water made its way into me. Mom would close the clamp a few times during the enema to give me amuch needed break. The soap stung a little and sometimes the water was a little too warm. Finally the last of the bag would drain into me and the click told me I wasdone with enema #1. The enemas were repeated until mom was satisfied. Then j took a shower and momdropped me at school.at dinner that night my brothers asked why I came toschool late and mom told them to nevermind. they knew but didn't push it because they knew they could be the next victim. Dad gave me a wink and the conversation changed. thought i would share this memorable night from my adolescent years. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Temperature taken just before the doctor was called Author: Greg [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, May 25, 2013, 10:41: am I had very similar experiences as a kid and into my late teens. It was common in our neighborhood to see an enema bag hanging in the main bathroom ready for use. I can remember going in my friend Bills house and could hear his brother crying and the bathroom door shut. I would say hey Bill is your mom giving Chris an enema? We would laugh and then think that either of us could be next. Enemas were given for everything from a sore throat to a headache. Our family doctor was also an enema fan and mom would follow his advise to the letter and an enema was almost always prescribed. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
