Subject: Re: Small Town Doctor Author: Kelly [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Saturday, August 08, 2009, 01:49: am In reply to: Betty 's message, "Re: Small Town Doctor" on Friday, August 07, 2009, 12:33: pm Thank you for the inquiry. The purpose of the visit was a well visit and to assemble paperwork to document that he is a healthy kid and that he has all of his inoculations. There is a strict rule that every patient has a temperature taken. The medical assistant, the MA as he is called, determined that Jason have his temperature taken rectally. I don't think that Jason knew for sure what was in store for him but there were 2 boys and a girl sitting in chairs directly facing the examination table and an empty chair and no sooner after he got to the imaginary "temperature room" instead of being told to sit down in the last chair like the other kids he was told to hop up on the examination table and after sitting down got told to unbuckle his belt, unbutton, unzip and so forth. He looked uncomfortable when the MA told him to get his legs up on the table and lie down "on your tummy." No sooner when he was settled down when the MA told Jason he was going to take his temperature the other way as he called it and it was amazing how he hooked his jeans and underwear on each side and back and forth tugged them down past his bottom and then down to his knees. Jason's fas was bright red by then. I couldn't help but notice the definite change between the natural color in his behind to that of his tanned back and legs that his behind really stands out. He complained that it was unfair that the others got it in their mouths and he didn't. No matter what he said while the MA got the thermometers ready, I don't think anything he said could change the guy's mind because I think the he was determined to take Jason's temperature in his "rear end". He proceeded to take Jason's temperature. It is late now and I will continue to provide more detail later. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

You have to watch out, because of this, that Jacob does not also become a homosexual. There is a 50% chance now that Jacob will be gay. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Small Town Doctor Author: Kelly [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, August 08, 2009, 02:56: pm I don't know about that. I don't want to know about that. This is a close knit community and although I am still an outsider I do know that he is considered a respected citizen. I called around and found out that he has had some girlfriends and has one now. His current girlfriend hangs around the doctors office a lot and I saw her. I have been there twice for followups and I think she volunteers there and I think she like to help him with the taking temperatures. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Small Town Doctor Author: Girlfriend Check [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, August 08, 2009, 06:00: pm The girlfriend is a "front" to cover up for his homosexuality. The girlfriend is his "trophy" to show off to the public and his patients. All males get a rectal temp and, if the male is the Medical Assistant's type, he will also get a deep prostate exam. If a male does not get a prostate exam, it means that patient is not his type, so don't worry about it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Kelly,Has Jason learned his lesson yet? Author: Denise R.N. [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Thursday, April 26, 2012, 07:21: pm I do realize that this is an old post that I'm responding to but I can't help to wonder how your son's doctor visits are going now close to 3 years later.I worked in a pediatric practice out in Dayton Ohio during the 1960s that had the same kind of set up as the office you took him to.Anyhow,although the normal cut off age was 8 years old for taking a child's temperature rectally,I was by no means shy about directing an older boy or girl to the table for a rectal if they were loud,boisterous or just overall naughty in the way they conducted themselves in the waiting room.To this day I have no regrets about putting them on display and humiliating them like that.If an 11 or 12 year old boy or girl was up on that table,everyone in the office got to watch and knew that child deserved the treatment they were getting.Most of the time that same boy or girl was much better behaved at their next scheduled visit.I think you should keep going to that office with the table for all to see as an just to remind him to behave himself.

Author: John Betten MD Omaha, Ne [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Saturday, May 05, 2012, 12:26: pm I agree with Denise, anytime a child comes in my office, they better act their age or my staff has been trained to treat the patient the same way with the parent consent. Same for any and all injections, They usually can be adminstered via arm, buttocks, or thigh. I have given a 17 year old girl a tenatus shot in the bottom because she wouldn't cooperate with the nurse. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Kelly,Has Jason learned his lesson yet? Author: Martin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, September 17, 2012, 03:54: am I know of one youth clinic that still used the glass thermometer for taking temperatures about 3 months ago. It is kind of run down but the costs are reasonable. The low standard of living in which the community where the clinic sits may have something to do with a lack of concern by the parents. I visited my cousin who has an 8 year old son who got a rectal temprature on a table right in front me at home, I found out that's how he gets his temperature taken in the clinc as well. He had a caugh but the reason for the rectal temp was because he could not be trusted to keep a glass thermometer having to do with his intellectual capacity (probably a little less than average). I took him there the next day while his mom was at work. He was not the only one to get a rectal temp either because I saw it done to some kids, 2 boys and a girl, about his age or a little older. They all put up a fuss but the MA did a good job at proceeding as though they did not say anything. Then again for followup visits. I think there is a mindset that says that it does not matter if a kid, where he has to have his/her backside uncovered for some reason because overall it is in his best interest. The important thing is that the patient gets a temperature reading. I did ask why they still used glass thermometers and the response was they have been using them for a long time and had no reason to change. The MA was satisfied with continuing using the instrument. It is too bad I could not stayed there longer. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Small Town Doctor Author: PhilipH [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Tuesday, March 14, 2023, 12:24: am What utter nonsense to accuse a medical professional of being homosexual for taking the temperature of a child with ADD. Even sillier is to posit that the child has a "50/50" chance of becoming homosexual from the procedure. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Jason was molested Author: Rebecca [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Monday, July 23, 2012, 02:14: pm Kelly you're completely wrong for letting him take your son's temperature that way.Especially in front of strangers who get to watch for their own sick pleasure.He's going have life long problems and perhaps even sexual identity issues because of what you have put him through.I hope you're happy with your decision to allow them to sexually molest your son right in front of everyone like that.I know how traumatic this really is.I went to a doctor's office that was very similar and was forced to get my temperature taken rectally until after I turned 12 and put on display for everyone who was in the office.This practice is outdated and inhumane.
