I had very similar experiences as a kid and into my late teens. It was common in our neighborhood to see an enema bag hanging in the main bathroom ready for use. I can remember going in my friend Bills house and could hear his brother crying and the bathroom door shut. I would say hey Bill is your mom giving Chris an enema? We would laugh and then think that either of us could be next. Enemas were given for everything from a sore throat to a headache. Our family doctor was also an enema fan and mom would follow his advise to the letter and an enema was almost always prescribed.
