The pre-appointment enemas may have been given to show that our moms already had begun treating whatever ailed us, figuring that enemas would be prescribed in any case. It was thought just another routine treatment in home nursing care, whether we liked or hated it.

I don't think I agree with the beginning treatment notion. Instead I know that many believed that even if an enema did not help a good occasional cleaning out could never hurt. Growing up I know I got a few enemas just because my mother thought that it was a good idea at the time.

I took my girlfriend to her doctor after she had been up all night vomiting. We had eaten some shrimp and I think it might have been bad. She just had the dry heaves when we arrived at the office. She was lying on the exam table in her PJ's. The nurse comes in and gets her vitals and then she pulls down her PJ bottoms and says this is going to be cold as she sticks the temp probe up her bottom. Her butt cheeks tensed up at first. The doctor comes in and exams her and leaves and the same nurse comes back in this time carrying a syringe. She pulls down her PJ's again and takes swabs her butt and sticks this needle into her butt and says this is going to burn a little as she pushes down the plunger. She yells out and then I see the tears in her eyes. It was over just that quick. I am looking at her little butt which has a small trickle of blood running down her cheek. I helped her pull up her PJ's. As we are driving home I asked if she was embarrased by me seeing her bare bottom. She said at first she was , but she was happy I was there when she got the injection.
