How does your mom take your temperature? does she give you the thermometer or does she make you turn over. In the doctor's office, does the doctor or nurse take it?

My mom comes into my room with the thermometer already lubricated and she brings a bath towel. She tells me to lower my pants and brifs and lie on my stomach across the bed. She putsm it in my butt but then covers me with the towel for the 3 minutes the thermometer is in.
At the deoctor's--it is the nurse who takes my temperture before the doctor comes into the examination room--she uses an electric on on a wire that is hooked up to a screen on the wall--I can watch the numbers going up as I am lying there

When you go to the doctor and the nurse puts it in--does she make you get totally undressed or do you turn over with your underpants still on and she just pulls down the back. I would feel strange if the nurse saw my privates--I might be having an erection. When your mom takes it, does she leave the bedroom after she takes it out or does she stay there while you are pulling your pants up

When I am at the doctor's I am totally undressed when I have my temperature taken. What happens is first I undress to my underpants and get weighed, measured, they take blood and urine. The I take off my briefs to get a skeletal exam because I have a slight case of scoliosis. Once this is done, I am told to lie face down on the exam table and that's when I get my temperature taken and any booster shots I need for school.
At home--my mom sits on the side of the bed when I drop my pants and underpants and she stays until I get dressed--or if I am sick with fever, she gets me my pjs and I change and get into bed
