In reply to: Lorraine 's message, "Embarassing Moment" on Thursday, March 29, 2012, 08:28: am

If this story is true, I think you'd have been given the courtesy as the Mother of your daughter to go into the examinating room with your daughter before anyone brought her into the room. I would also suspect that if you'd been to this facility before as a patient yourself or with your daughter; you would know that part of their protocol in doing vital signs, was to take the patient's temperature rectally, particularly, a teen,(your daughter was in for a physical, not a sick visit, right?) though you apparently saw another female, likely older than your daughter having her rectal temperature taken.
Not saying your missive isn't factual, but it raised the questions I asked.
Then too if it is factual, you might have a number of posters here wanting to go to that facility!

I agree with Rich. The validity of this post is suspicious, but I know the world is full of odd occurrences and people often act without thinking, so I am willing to give Lorriane the benefit of a doubt. At least, if she can explain this rather peculiar situation. Like Rich stated, why didn't they wait for you before bringing back a patient barely in her teens, who was going to be asked to remove her clothes? Why would the daughter's coat be left outside a room to possibly be stolen rather than taken into the exam room with her? Why would you "barge" into an exam room without knocking or asking where your daughter was? Why was this adult women receiving a rectal temp? Had you been to this clinic before? Had your daughter? Were rectal temps standard for all patients, even those just there for check-ups? Finally, I'd be interested in knowing how your daughter reacted and what her prior experience was with rectal temps. Were they routine at home?

Mike,
I'm not saying Lorraine is lying. If you read my response, you'll certainly see I raised some questions, but by no stretch am I calling her a liar. This situation which she details, may well have occurred, though to me, I was skeptical, and if you re-read my post and Leo's again, you'll see where we're coming from, that's all. I don't call people liars without justification. And here I am as I said skeptical, but I'm not saying Lorraine's post is a lie.

Well, I can't help if there is doubt but I do appreciate the comments.

Why would someone come on a forum and make stuff like that up?

Every post must be given the benefit of the doubt, because the majority of people who do post on a forum like this usually tell the truth. What would be the reason for lying?
