My doctor informed my mother by telephone to prepare an enema for me. I grew up when you did and enemas were a prescription for most of what ailed us. They seem to go in and out of favor.

Times are changing back as I have been sent by the doctor who employs me at least once a month to help a mother administer an enema to her child, as well as to help the elderly who are unable to prepare an enema for themselves. Mostly the doctor stays available for what is more complex in treatment.

My pediatrician loves to prescribe enemas over the phone and I can so relate to his calls. I have gotten to the point of not calling him, giving my son an enema, if he is still unwell after a couple of hours, then I call with the news he's had his enema, now what? With my doctors, enemas are in again.

Incredible, I grew up with a mother who believed enemas cured everything. In fact every other Sunday she gave me an enema growing up. Now, I am a true believer in enemas.

Growing up in a small town in the 50s I remember the same.
A trip to the doctor was not often.
My aunt was a nurse then. I remember her giving one of us an enema. Seemed like one of us or my cousin was being given an enema by her.

Like you if things were not better, she would call her nurse friend at the doctors office.
