In reply to: Kelly 's message, "Small Town Doctor" on Monday, August 03, 2009, 04:26: pm

-when I was a young child-rt were the norm-and in the small community where I live at now-rt is still performed on younger children-until the age of 18--the newer technology is not trusted-and the glass thermometer's are still plentiful here-the doctor and nurse's knowledge is not questioned-thus we are respecting the countless year's of their medical experience-the rt procedure is a harmless one-and it does not make the male to become a homosexual-that is a complete fallacy-rt is the most accurate method to measure a body core temp-this has been stated in numerous medical journal's-just lay down on your stomach and relax-accept the rt and let the dr and nurse's do their job's-the dr and nurse's are trying to help get you better.

What country are you from Thomas R. At least in the U.S. that is ridiculous. And nurses don't care about helping people, they only care about their paychecks and the "power" they feel by dominating their helpless patients.

I am from the USA, Mr. Stan, and your comment saying ridiculous to my comment, is bad judgement. If you are a doctor/nurse hater, then I am curious as to where you get your physical's performed? Maybe some backlot where it's a quick cash payment, then you take the crook's word that your health is good? Again, bad judgement on your part, but it's your life. And the part about "nurses don't care about helping people, they only care about their paychecks and the "power" they feel by dominating their helpless patients" is a useless tone to rant. Maybe you just haven't found the right doctor for the procedure's you need. There are many to choose from. Doctor's and lawyer's practically rule the yellow page's of the phonebook)-I have been going to a great doctor for many year's. I have outstanding health and a flawless background of any bad visit's. So good luck on your search, and happy health to you from a small town resident.

Never ever, even in the 50's and 60's, did any physician require rectal temps on "children" up to age 18! Generally by age 6 an oral reading was deemed appropriate.
