Back in the 1950s it was common in military service clinics to take rectal temperatures in just about any place an examination could fit, like in or adjacent to a waiting room, hallway, etc., without the benefit of privacy.

This is no joke. I was in an Air Force hospital in 1968 and the took my temperature orally, but used a rectal thermometer. The nurse said it was no big deal because everything got sterilized.

Did you get an enema when you were in the air force hospital? Did you notice any other patients in the ward getting an enema?

My little sister who was about 7 had been sick and the doctor told my mother to give her an enema each day for the next three days. She never had a bag enema so my mother asked me on the QT to take an enema in front of my sister so she would not be scared.I was 13 at the time and agreed after making a deal for some new comic books.We went into the bathroom my mother prepaired the enema and explained everything to my sister as she gave it to me over her lap.When I was done my sister got the bag and was very calm and relaxed as I watched her get the treatment.Maybe it was beacuse I was watching.
