When I was younger, I would come home and find the doctor waiting there. I was then told I was getting a shot of Penicillin. My entire family surrounded me and before I knew it I was on the couch crying like crazy while my family laughed and held me down and the doctor gave me the most painful shot ever. I had no idea I was coming home to this. This lasted until I was around 13. How many had that happen or something similar....Tim

I have four sisters and when anyone of them or myself would stay home from school we would sometime come home to find our Dr. there giving a penicillin shot to a sick sister and as a precaution he would recommend all of us also get the shot so we wouldn't get sick. One by one we would pull our pants down and get a penicillin shot in our butt, we called it the marshmallow shot. Shots never bothered me but my sisters would cry getting the shot.

Author: Tyler [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Monday, February 12, 2018, 11:27: am Extremely doubtful this ever happened. Penicillin is used as an antibiotic to cure a sickness, never as any kind of precaution to avoid it. If that were the case people would be getting penicillin shots all the time and nobody would get sick. Never happened. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Mandy [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Monday, February 12, 2018, 11:01: pm Our Dr. was older and believed in the use of Penicillin as a precaution so we wouldn't get sick. Ever hear of Dentist giving Penicillin or antibiotic before a dental visit? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Nick (pre-med) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Wednesday, February 14, 2018, 05:34: pm Whilst I have never heard of dentists giving antibiotic injections, I once had my dentist's nurse give me a pre-med shot in my bottom before a general anaesthetic. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Jay [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Tuesday, February 20, 2018, 05:12: am That's incorrect. Penicillin is often used to prevent infections in people undergoing dental extractions or for people with Rheumatic Fever. I know, as I had to get monthly penicillin shots for Rheumatic Fever when I was a kid. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: sports fan [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Sunday, May 03, 2020, 11:19: pm How did they get the medicine, the syringe and the needle? You generally have to have a prescription for the medicine, the syringes and the needles. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Emanuele [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Tuesday, May 24, 2022, 12:26: pm Here in Italy syringes and needles don't need prescriptions. For medications, I think she went some days before to the doctor, telling him I was illedm so he gave her the prescription. I remember the locker filled with a lot of medications, ready to be used on me when I needed. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Sports Fan [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Tuesday, May 24, 2022, 07:47: pm Well, here in the United States, prescriptions are required for both syringes, needles and medication. So any one here in the U.S. don't get any bright ideas :) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
