Subject: DO PHYSICIANS EVER GIVE A SHOT IN THE BUTT HOPING IT WILL DETER FREQUENT VISITS Author: Tim [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sunday, February 03, 2013, 11:50: pm Hi, I always wondered if on some level, doctors or hospitals choose to give injections in the buttocks for more then the reason that it works faster, etc? Could one of the reasons also be that they hope the person will not be so fast to run to them for treatment for every little illness they might get? And if the prospect of a shot is eminent, they may think twice? I am not saying that serious illnesses or infections shouldnt be treated aggressively, but there are many times you have people running to the ER for every little cold they get. If they are pampered or treated too nicely, this may prod them to come back more often? Add to this the fact that insurance companies want to see less erroneous costly visits to either a hospital or doctor and hospitals are getting scrutenized by Medicare for the high cost, etc..... I myself, would only run to a hospital for treatment if I was super ill. Much of this is because the last thing I would want is any shot. Is this aspect considered either in a regular doctors office or hospitals? I know to an extent, it is the case when STDs are involved in a clinic. Thanks Tim [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

The Indian doctor there almost always orders antibiotic injection in the butt 98% of the time if you are under 55. his reasoning is that most young people will take the medication until they feel better or just not get it filled at all.

I understand that thinking but, kids and adults have been using the pills for over 50 years and they all havent been dying.....So I think that cant be his honest reason. Also, there is the cute Z-Pack which isnt the hardest to take, or for that long in duration. In addition, young girls have to take birth control daily and most do. So the reasoning the Indian doctor uses is a bit flawed. I suggest there are other reasons.....Thanks [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

His reasoning is that most people in this age group will one not get their medication or just take it until they feel better. We have a sign at the front desk that tells people that all injections are given in the butt. We used to say hip , but we had the few who did not know what that meant. Surprisingly we do have patients that come back knowing they will get a shot. It is funny to see their reactions. I had two first timers today. One was a 20 y/o brunette who came in for a sore throat. I swabbed her throat. She said am I going to have to get a shot in my butt? If you need an antibiotic yes you will get one. I came back with bicillin injection. She stood up and bent over the bed. Her jeans unzipped in the back. I pulled them down. I uncapped the 18g needle and darted it in her buttock and slowly injected. She was crying when I finished. I pulled it out and massaged her hip and put a bandaid on her hip. She looked at it. That looks like a pencil you stuck in my ass. Your lucky you did not have to get two. The other girl was 24 who had a UTI. I told her I had an injection and that it would be going in her butt. When I came back she was lying on the bed with her jeans and panties folded up in the chair. I was shocked at first. She said please be gentle. I hate shots and I am really scared. I explained that this injection burned. She told me to smack butt just before I stuck her. I gave her three slaps and then gave her the shot. She told me as she was putting on her panties she never felt me stick her or give her the shot. She said my butt is still stinging from your slap. I apologized and she said no big deal. I am glad I did not feel you stick me. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
