Subject: Re: Waiting for the Doctor Author: Sue [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Friday, April 22, 2011, 08:17: am In reply to: Becky 's message, "Waiting for the Doctor" on Tuesday, September 29, 2009, 08:04: pm My sister and I are both in high school (15 and 16) and last week mom picked us up after school and said that we had to go to the doctor's for our first HPV shot. We weren't happy but something we had to do and when we were called into the exam room both of us raised up our sleeves while waiting for the nurse. The nurse was still in the hallway and had been talking to mom. When she came in she smiled and said, "I won't be using your arms!" We were told to remove our jeans and had us stand near the exam table. My sister was first as the nurse lowereed her panties to below her knees and took her temperature with a digital thermometer. After three beeps she gave her the shot and told me I was next. I was shaking so mom had to help me lean over the table as I got my temp and shot. I did cry a bit and felt sore later.

[> [> Subject: Re: Waiting for the Doctor Author: Daniel [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, May 30, 2011, 03:02: pm I remember getting shots in the behind many times and often crying when I felt the needle. However once I was naked or at least had my pants and underwear down the Dr usually gave the cheek a sharp crack. I am pretty sure that the tears came from the smack on the behind as much as the pricking of the needle. Sometimes the shots were given by an RN who worked with him. I can also recall my mom having to grasp my sister's wrists and pull them over the exam table so she was bent over it with her butt, not just accessible to the nurse, but in my full view. Frequently one of us received a Doctor's or Nurse's play kit for a birthday or X-mas and that led to someone playing Doctor and me being the patient. But the best game playing was after a DR's visit when we would re-enact the exam in as many details as possible, especially if mom was busy with something elsewhere in the house or even better having coffee with the neighbors. That usually meant that I would be the one who lay in bed pretending to be sick and my sister would "arrive" with the Dr's kit and examine me from head to foot, special emphasis on the in between area which once I began to mature was very interesting to her. Since we didn't really know what the Dr was looking for it was all a matter of trying to follow the steps that we had seen the nurse or doctor do. On one occasion I had to give a urine sample at the Dr's visit so after that I would be escorted, usually naked to the nearest bathroom and had to provide a sample under very close supervision. Frequently one or the other of the cousins who lived closest and were just about the same age. I was the oldest male of the group and so I matured first. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Waiting for the Doctor Author: Jack [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, April 12, 2014, 03:51: pm Sue, have you and your sister received all three doses of the HPV vaccine? Did they give all three in your rear end? A friend of mine took her daughter to get the HPV shots and they gave them to her in the leg. I've heard it was the most painful shot there is, more so than a tetanus, hepatitis or meningitis vaccination. Most of the time they give it in the arm. It can be especially painful if you get other shots at the same time you get the HPV shot. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
