When they used to have home doctor visits, was it customary that the entire family would gather 'round and watch when a kid had to get a shot in the butt?

Every shot I had to get, the entire family would watch. It wasn't so much the embarrassment, but rather, the pain that was the worst. Also waiting for the doctor to finish boiling the syringe was horrible. This was in the 60's and 70's.

I never knew what other kids went through because I never discussed it with anyone.....

Sounds familiar Tim I experienced the same thing in the fifties especially as penicillin was a relatively new wonder drug then. I know others went through the same thing because my mother would tell me about how other kids got the same treatment, I suspect that was to make me feel I wasnt the only one.It was worse if my cousins were visiting.

Did your mother let everyone watch you get an enema as well, or was that procedure off limits? An enema is much more intimate and takes some time, so I wonder if your mother respected your privacy during the enema.

I dont remember my mother allowing the family to watch me getting an enema but sometimes she would have asistance if I was being difficult about it.In hospital they werent always as concious of a childs need for privacy in those days so others might see you get an enema but usually they would put up token screens even if they werent very effective.

Fortunately my mom wasn't into enemas. The first enema I ever had was at 17. And I heard bad things about them but it wasn't bad at all. A nurse did it in a doctors office. But the pain of shots worried me way more then any enema or rectal temp could....And yes,my cousins were there when I got shots....NOT GOOD!

When I was about 6, 7 and 8 and maybe 9 my mom would give me an enema with others watching sometimes. My mom have small talk with the other person. Sometimes it would be my aunt or a neighbor lady or close friends of her. The grownups I did not mind, but sometimes my cousin (girl) who was only about 2 or 3 years older than me would be there also to watch. I do remember one time I was about 7, my moms friend was over with her daughter who was 10 at the time, maybe 11 not really sure. Mom gave me an enema with them watching. I had one sibling a younger brother and remember others watching him get an enema or shot with others around also.

Matt, what kind of equipment did your mother use when giving you your enemea? Was your enema given in the bathroom, with you on the floor in a knee chest position, or over your mother's lap?

When growing up my mother gave me an enema whenever she wanted, company or no. My older sister (if home) helped her change the height of the bag and coax me to keep the water in as long as I could. If a friend was visiting me, they could watch or go home. It was so embarrassing. Mom also would talk to her friends on the phone, telling them she just gave me or my sister an enema. I always had to take my enemas on my bed, rubber mat under me, pillows under my stomach with my butt raised up. Later she would change my position to my back and continue those humiliating fills. I had NO PRIVACY. I give my kids enemas today, only you better believe they have privacy.

Maria, did you develop an enema fetish from this humiliation as I see you are giving your kids enemas? So you must have felt them beneficial even if forced on you with company. Do you give them frequently as it sounds like you experienced growing up? Do you give yourself enemas now?

I think the humiliation part inflicted on me did give me an enema fetish. Fortunately my husband satisfies this impulse nicely in the privacy of our bed and bath. My two sons get theri enemas alone with Mom in the bathroom.

I know it's freaky, but I enjoy when my husband gives me an enema in a place where I know my neighbor's window is overlooking our bedroom and they could watch.

My doctor neighbor whom I had called for advise on giving my husband an enema (I never had) came over to our home and told me what to do and coaxed me through the process. My husband had had a stroke or he'd have protested. The male nurse then got him on the bedpan. It was very difficult and not at all erotic as many threads are indicating.

This shouldn't be a surprise. Most women with a rape fantasy don't get turned on when actually raped for example.

I was in the medical field for years and have a few medical kinks of my own but when I see a patient I just see "sick" not a fantasy or kink. When I was younger my guy friends would ask if I got to see naked chicks much. I said I did but it wasn't the same. They would laugh but really not understand. I would tell the truth though to lighten it up as one of the guys and say one thing on a lady never ages and that's between her legs whether 17 or 70, looks about the same (of course shaving wasn't popular back then so I don't know about a shaved kitty).

I remember in my early 20's having to changed some electrodes on a teen girl in ICU. She was very attractive and had the most perfect breast that I've ever seen. BUT she was unconscious. She clearly wasn't going to make it (car accident) and may be in comma for days or weeks. All I remember is the sickness that I felt in the pit of my stomach. Thinking this pretty girl that had her whole life ahead of her and her family in the waiting room hoping beyond hope she would make it and me knowing that she wouldn't. To this day it is sad. Mom would come in and put on her makeup to make her look pretty and fix her hair.

I don't want to appear all sterile and medical but I think most in the medical field feel this way. If you've never been in the medical field then imagine arriving at a major car accident and you are trying to save someone's life. Later you will remember if they were attractive and what you've seen but at the time it's not about that.

Of course I'm thinking hospital stuff and not Johnny is constipated. Likewise, handicap also isn't exciting to explore for fantasy.

In this day and age having an audience seems really odd, but in the 60s it was common even between brothers and sisters. I have a brother 3 years younger and not only did I see him get enemas he saw me. I've posted this elsewhere previously, but when he was about 7 my mother decided that he should get an enema from the bag instead of the bulb. He put up a real fuss and mom was at her wits end. She kept telling him that it was no big deal. Finally, she saw me standing in the doorway watching and said that she'd prove to him that it didn't hurt and give me one. I didn't need one, but got one any way and didn't dare fuss about it. Later, mom made another one and he finally got it.

No, there was nothing odd about watching siblings back then. As girls we knew what boys looked like and vice versa. No mysteries and no secrets.

Maybe many feel it was no big deal to have the family watch. But what was that curiosity truly all about, that others had to watch? Glad it wasn't them? Maybe getting off on seeing others suffering? It's one thing for others to watch, it's another thing when they find it funny and laugh. When I would be on my stomach awaiting a super painful shot, it only screwed my head up more that most of the family was laughing. And even if laughing was their nervous reaction, it was still happening to me. My guess is that most humans have a bit of schadenfreude and get off on seeing someone else's pain. I wonder if they would have been laughing and making light of it if it were they laying there waiting for the 2 inch spike getting jabbed in their butt??? Hmmmmmmmmm

Christine - I''d say it is indeed unusual for others to watch an enema these days but it does happen. I had a friend in for an endoscopic exam several years ago. I visited her the night before when she checked in to be prepped. The nurse came in and said I would have to leave. She was carrying the can and hose so it was obvious what was about to happen. My friend asked if the order was for SSE til clear and the nurse said no - just 1 enema. My friend asked if I could stay and the nurse said OK. We continued to talk while she got the enema. I found that watching this was a turn on for me. After she made her second return trip to the toilet I said I had to leave. I think my friend and I both enjoyed the event.
I went home and gave myself an enema.

Back in the 1950s it was common in military service clinics to take rectal temperatures in just about any place an examination could fit, like in or adjacent to a waiting room, hallway, etc., without the benefit of privacy.

I guess providing privacy of dependent youths was a luxury at a time of tight budgets.

This is no joke. I was in an Air Force hospital in 1968 and the took my temperature orally, but used a rectal thermometer. The nurse said it was no big deal because everything got sterilized.

Did you get an enema when you were in the air force hospital? Did you notice any other patients in the ward getting an enema?

My little sister who was about 7 had been sick and the doctor told my mother to give her an enema each day for the next three days. She never had a bag enema so my mother asked me on the QT to take an enema in front of my sister so she would not be scared.I was 13 at the time and agreed after making a deal for some new comic books.We went into the bathroom my mother prepaired the enema and explained everything to my sister as she gave it to me over her lap.When I was done my sister got the bag and was very calm and relaxed as I watched her get the treatment.Maybe it was beacuse I was watching.

I had posted awhile back on this topic and just want to add. I really don't think moms back then thought about the child being embarrassed getting something like an enema with others watching. I know my mom didn't. I am trying to think what was so interesting to a grown woman in watching a little boy get an enema? I do agree that my girl cousins who watched would find it interesting out of curiousity. As you can imagine, during parts of the procedure I was fully exposed. There were times when my girl cousins would tease me on what they saw, but it short lived and nothing came of it. Gladly todays moms are more sensitive to their childs modesty.

Hi,
I can understand not thinking an enema is embarrassing way back when. Many medical procedures were done on mass scales, in schools ,etc. My original posting referred mainly to shots. I think the difference there, is that the kid receiving a shot is sure to display a great amount of pain and probably scream or cry. That is particularly embarrassing to a boy who wants to maintain his self esteem and not look like, pardon the term, a sissy. If word got out to his friends at school that he had screamed and cried, he would most definately be subject to endless ribbing from his friends. Girls on the other hand, are more known to display any emotions they want. A/K/A, a girl can easily cry at a sad movie. Try being a boy 16 and cry at a movie? It may not be a bad thing in a technical sense but realistically, it wont go over well...

So that was the focus of my original posting. I found it extremely degrading, while being pushed to be the man in the family, being brought to tears during a shot; only to be witnessed by my entire family. Also, they seemed to find it funny because many of the family members laughed or joked while I was terrified crying.....to add insult to injury, my entire family would "slowly" count to 3. This made my anxiety level shoot off the scale.....

I hope I made sense...LOL

When was it always "OK" for girls to watch boys have procedures done to them and not OK for boys to watch girls have these same things done? My brother and I were given enemas and rectal temps with girls and ladies watching, but never did we get to see a girl have this done to them. In the event a girl cousin was going to get an enema and we were at my aunts house, we would shushed out of the room and told to go outside or go watch TV. On the other hand, the same girls were allowed to watch us have the exact same procedure done! If that is not a double standard I don't know what is!

The reality is, males and females are NOT equal and never will be. This is why when a female teacher gets in trouble for having sex with a male student she gets a light sentence while the guy would go to jail for 10 years....I think it is a proper assumption that women are generally the weaker of the two genders which explains why its more accepted for a female to cry then a male....

While everyone watched when I was held down for a shot, I NEVER would have been allowed to see any of the females in my family get a shot....

you are right very often about the double standard for boys and girls receiving shots or enemas with an audience of the opposite gender but it was not always true even in the past if you have read all the previous posts, it was depending on families customs.

in my opinion, it is also a question of age, if you were a little boy, it was not too much embarrassing, just a little, but as soon as you were older, it became certainly more embarrassing to be seen by female cousins who were not still adults. I don't know when it stopped for you to have an audience of females wayching you?

in front od whom was he exposed? his fellows young men doing as him their military service or somebody else?

This topic is posted every so often. I am in my 60's, a baby boomer, and vividly remember having pneumonia at age 5. The doctor made a daily house call and gave me a penicillin shot in my buttocks each day. The whole family gathered when my temperature was taken and exceeded 103 degrees. My brother and sister called out the numbers as the mercury rose. I wore a red flannel sleeper with a drop seat. The flap was unbuttoned, I was on my tummy on the bed, and the Taylor Binoc rectal thermometer was inserted while my sister maneuvered for a good view of it being inserted. I saw her over my mother's lap with her panties pulled down getting her temperature taken, too. Enemas were given in the bathtub, so it was Mom and patient only. I had an aunt that filled in for my mother at times, and she was the same way with privacy. There was none except during enemas. Babies were breast fed in full view of their siblings, and many other measures were taken to insure that we all got to know what the sex organs looked like and would not have any hangups over the differences. In nursery school, boys and girls shared a bathroom with many toilets and no partitions, so you could watch the opposite sex use the toilet. We were naked in the same room for clothing changes. It helped a little, but a close up view of the anus or vagina was not easily seen because of the distance we tended to keep. The girls could see just about everything, of course.

In the hospital, boys and girls were in the same ward. Rectal temperature takings and enemas and even suppositories for certain medications were given without any attempt to block the view of the other beds. Looking back on it all, it was not a bad idea. Embarrassment was never a problem for us.

you are right "Rich", it was not necessary bad in the past to be less concerned than today by the modesty of children and particularly that of boys.

it was when a boy beguins his puberty and became a teenager that the double standard was sometimes applied in an unfair manner, even if I am convinced that a complete equality of boys and girls tenagers for the respect of modesty or privacy was not always necessary and I don't agree with these men who are always complaining in these forums about the inequality of treatmen when they were young or sometimes adults in the health field.Generally, it was not so traumatizing!

Most of the time, some differences could be noticed in school showers, undressing in changing rooms, school physicals, and even at home for bathing, undressing, or for a physical examination by a doctor and so on, and some could be considered as rather normal.

It is not the same for a boy tenager to be seen by an adult women and for a girl tenager to be seen by an adul man, it was a question of education and of customs and also because it was (and certainly it is still mostly the case) the mothers who cared about children and teenagers, boys or girls.

-when I was younger-there were moment's when mom would take my sister's and my rectal temp's-(this was done numerous time's a day)-she would have us all lying on the big bed in her room-each of us with our pant's and underwear lowered to our knee's-the rectal thermometer in our butt's-a clipboard was used to keep track of the reading's-numerous time's family member's or neighbor's would visit-and mom would say that she was checking our temp's-sometime's the visitor stood at the doorway looking in saying "hope you kid's feel better"--we had a neighbor who was a nurse-she alway's checked on us too-this included a rectal temperature session-she worked at our dr clinic.

Both my sister and I watched each other get an enema when we where young.There was no fuss when laying over moms lap,as a matter of fact my sister and I chatted while the nozzle was in me.Never had a problem with enemas in front of her.

I did not have any sisters, but lived very close to my aunts and cousins. I can remember between the ages of about 6 to about 9 years old getting an enema in front of my girl cousins who were only a few years older than me. I can also remember a few times if I was sick or had belly ache and one of moms friends were over the house, mom would give me an enema with them there, sometimes my friends kids would be with them and they got to watch. One instance I recall very vividly, mom gave me an enema in front of her friend, whom I called Aunt Kelly, and her daughter who was about eleven at the time, whose name was Kathy. I was 8 at the time I think or maybe just about 9. I remember it because I was starting to dislike having other watch when mom decided I needed an enema.

The only time my son was given an enema in private was when he started to get erections of which his 8yr old sister did not have to see.Prior to this he and his sister got enemas in front of each other.

I honestly can say, when I was 5,6,7 and even 8 years old, I didn't really care if someone was watching, I was too concerned about the enema I was going to get. After I was 8 and at 9, I gave my mom a hard time about getting an enema if a girl was present. I think my modesty level was starting to increase and new that girls seeing me like that was something I didn't like. Mom would shush me up and tell me I was only a child and shouldn't worry about who is looking at me even though they were girls only a few years older than me. Luckily by the time I was 10 or 10 1/2 mom considered my modesty and only gave me an enema in private. I still did not like getting an enema, but at least not having googling eyes of a girl watching made it a little better to take.

Our mom took the three of us to the doctor. 17, 16 and 14. Our brother the 14 year old had a throat culture come back positive and our mom drive us to the doctor after school. The doctor said he would be giving him a shot of bicillin. Our mom said the two girls here have said there throats were starting to hurt this morning. He said well lets give them all a shot to be on the safe side. We watched as my brother bared his butt and got jabbed with the needle. Then the nurse said okay your next. I said not until he steps out. Our mom said know you watched and he is going to watch. One by one our butts were bared and we each got jabbed with what looked like a pencil. My older sister really put up a fight as she took down her pants. On the way home we had to explain to our mother why we had on thongs and not regular underwear.

Another fantasy post. I thought we were done with these. No doctor would have teenage boys and girls in the same examining room, nor would any mother. Lastly, a teenage boy is not going to get naked in front of his teenage sisters and vice versa. Please get a life.

The problem is that this forum does not represent the subject for which it was created: DOCTORS WHO MADE HOUSECALLS, not: MY LATEST VISIT TO THE CLINIC. Can anything be clearer than that?
Housecalls were a very special and unique part of medical practice and I wish more of the posts on this site kept to that subject. Another site could be created for MY VISIT TO THE CLINIC. It's true that you have to be of a certain age to have experienced housecalls, but that is exactly the point. Those of us who did experience them want to share these experiences with others.

You're making an assumption that fantasy stories are not appreciated on this site.

I would say the overwhelming majority of people who post and read this board would much rather hear a real story about others' experiences with doctor's house calls, etc. Fantasy posts should be confined to a fantasy message board. The constant repetitive stories about young ladies with male nurses and vice versa, always with shots in the butt are totally unbelievable and boring.

I agree with Carol. Any story where the child is older than say 12 is pure fantasy. IMHO...my experiences happened when I was 6 to about 9 or 10.

So then I assume that you will be just skipping over the "fantasy" posts ?
.
And no one will really care.

While this wasn't a home visit, everyone and I mean everyone in the room watched my eleven year old. I was a little embarrassed for her but I didn't think fast enough to prevent it from happening. She hit her head and was throwing up. I dont know about now because this was in the late 70s but it was a warning sign then so we rushed her to the hospital.

Once inside ER they did some tests. My husband, my seven year old daughter, eight year old son, two female nurses and one male x-ray technician was in the room. Everything was determined to be ok except for her headache. The nurse told me since she was throwing up a suppository would be better than a pill. I agreed and before I knew it she had her panties down and gloved finger pushing the suppository up. She was crying and screeching a little more from fear than pain but she had been crying most of the time we were there. All of us were leaning over her bed when the nurse did this and all got a good eye full.

I decided from then on I would have everyone leave the room if an embarrassing procedure was going to be done. This wasn't an emergency since this was a last minute thought by the nurse. We got a couple of prescriptions with one consisting of suppositories. She wasnt about to have any of those when we got home and I would think it was more from the embarrassment of everyone watching than the discomfort. She was very modest and shy at that age completely different than my younger daughter.

Did anyone have others besides your immediate family watch certain treatments you got when growing up. Like shots from doctors, rectal temps, enemas and the such? I think it was bad enough when opposite sex family members like sisters and cousins watched, but others outside the family I think were worse.

I had a couple of school friends walk into my room once when my mother was giving me an enema while I lay on the bed. The door was open and they always said they didnt hear my mother telling them to wait outside but thought she said come in.
I was 13 at the time and they had bought some homework from school for me as I had been away ill for several days.

I was 9 or 10. My mom had her friend over the house and I was not feeling well. I got an enema with mom's friend watching. At the time not as embarrassed as I was later on when she came over again and remembered she watched me get an enema.

When my son and daughter where 7 and 9 I would give one of them an enema over my lap while the other was in the tub bathing.They would switch one the first to get the bag took his or her bath.They always wanted to be first so they could get a bath quick bath and watch TV. The enema was never quick since they had to hold several minutes before getting off my lap.

You are right Theresa, enemas were never quick. First of all I fought them because I didn't want one. So it took awhile for my mom to wear me down, lol and get me into the bathroom. Once there I knew my goose was cooked. Promises from my mom that it would only be a "little" enema usually got to cooperate, not remembering that "little" enemas were just not true. Her friend would try and tell me it would be over quickly also and try and calm my fears. After all the non-cooperating, I finally gave in and let my mom pull my pants down and put me over her lap. The "little" enema usually lasted about 10 minutes, sometimes more. My mom and her friend would be talking about what I thought were stupid stuff, while I was trying to take the enema and having cramps.

I dont think I had time to feel embarrassed as I was too terrified of the impending pain....

Carl, if you read my post(s) above, it was cousins who saw me getting an enema. Seems they just "happened" to be there.

When my sister was about 6, she had an illness which necessitated a visit from a district nurse very day for an injection (penicillin I think although it may not have been).
Each day she would have her injection (in her bottom) on the sofa in the living room, in front of anyone who happened to be around at the time.

A few years later my 8-year old female cousin was visited at home by the doctor, who had her undressed to her knickers in the living room. I remember accidentally barging in in the middle, but no one seemed partiularly bothered ...

When we are very young I dont think anyone cares about being seen getting an injection in the bare bottom or getting an enema we are more concerned about pain and discomfort. I know I didnt mind tha much but when I got to my teens became very self concious about my body and became concerned with both the discomfort and the humiliation.
After about 17 I had received so many injections and enemas I stopped worrying about anyone else seeing the procedure.

You are correct Peter in some ways. When I was 5 to about 9, I could care less who was around watching. I was concerned more about the enema I was going to get. Whoever was in the room while I got, moms friends, other kids just got tuned out. It wasn't until I got older and remembered the event and who was there watching that I felt embarrassed.
