Brendan, when did you grow up? I grew up in the 70s, and it was much as you described - the doc was an authority figure, and you didn't question him.

A 24 year-old co-worker of mine once mentioned to me privately that he'd been to see a doctor, who told him he'd be getting a shot, and asked him to pull his pants and shorts down. He (co-worker) flat out refused, and after some discussion, received two injections, one in each arm. He complained that the shots and the bill (double what it would have been) hurt, but I guess his pride was saved.

Personally, I would have done what the doctor said.

I grew up in the 80s, and was taught any trusted adult was an authority figure.

I actually was more scared of getting shots in the arm than in the butt as a child. I got one shot in the arm as a child, a booster shot of some kind. It hurt worse than any shot I had ever had, and I screamed my head off. The nurse commented she should have given it in my bottom instead, and my mom agreed and asked if she would give them all in my bottom in the future. I went to the same pediatrician up to age 18, and got every shot in the butt from that day on. The embarrassment of showing my butt was better than the embarrassment of screaming and crying, and even though I sometimes cried from shots in the butt, it was never like that.

I didn't get a shot in the arm again until I got a tetanus booster at 20 after cutting myself on a rusty bucket, and that shot hurt like mad, as well, I couldn't lift my arm without wincing for 2 days. I had actually thought about asking to get it in the butt, but was too embarrassed to ask.
