 You might want to explain what you mean.
I do suspect it has something to do with being given RT in front of others.
Such was the case in the some wards in hospitals in the 50's and 60's. No privacy to speak of, so RT were taken at regular intervals and your ward mates and passers by in the hall could see what was going on including your being exposed for a rt or an enema. This lack of privacy was quite daunting for some individuals. The nurses did try to help alleviate fears or anxieties.

Back around 40-50 years ago, rectal temps. were commonplace on pediatric wards, from what I've been told. It didn't matter if you were a child, teen, or young adult..that was the protocol. I knew a woman in college who was admitted to the pediatric ward at 19, and had her temp. taken rectally. To me, that would be the ultimate in humiliation, and totally unecessary. If they tried to do those things today, you can just imagine that the lawyers and courts would have a field day.
