Subject: Re: Small Town Doctor Author: Kelly [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Wednesday, August 19, 2009, 11:07: am In reply to: Richard 's message, "Re: Small Town Doctor" on Tuesday, August 18, 2009, 02:50: pm I see using a glass thermometer to be a holdover from an earlier age in this doctors office. Since the transition was never made to electronic thermometers there is not shock for his patients to experience. From what I gather, kids today have more attention and hyperactive disorders which directs them toward the examination table rather than a chair to get their temperatures taken, and those that have school problems, a temperature in their mouths is not allowed. With the new thermometers that was talked about, the glass thermometers might might not ever go completely away. No matter what kind of glass thermometer is used to take a youngster's temperature in his behind, I know for sure that it is secure in there and especially it is comforting when there is a doubt about him having an accident taking it in his mouth. Too bad the patients don't appreciate it as well. What really matters to the MA, whether it is a guy or girl, is that not only does he/she takes that part of his/her work seriously but finds it to be very gratifying as well. I know I would.

Then she called him into the room so that she could show me how to do it.He blushed profusely when she told him to pull down his pants and lay down on his tummy as she was lubricating the thermometer but he did as he was told.Then she came over and spread his cheeks really wide so I could see his cute little asshole puckering as she shoved the thermometer in.There was less than half the thermometer sticking out and I couldn't help but to smile because it looked so cool!I'm going to be starting next week and I'll probably take his temperature on my first day.Her motto is better safe than sorry and told me not to hesitate taking either one of their temperatures if I even have a vague suspicion of a fever.
