Mother and Pediatrician

My mother talked non-stop to my pediatrician during my physicals. It was the main reason why she came in with me even all the way through high school.

Yes mom talked always with the doc. She explained what she is doing and her findings and reactions. I basically was just a Model.

I can relate to that feeling !

My mom was always present during my sisters and my physical exams. All three of us were in the doctors office. She would see me and my sister physical exams including the general exam.

It was alway little embarrassing when I got older . from probably 11 on into my early teens up to 16 your mother or parent or someone over the age of 18;had to accompany you to the exam room mom was Usually the one that took us to the Doctors office . The nurse or nursing assistant will call you back have you to step up on a scale get your weight and then depending on your age newborn till about three or four they had a temperature station next to the nurses station. if you were older you went straight to an exam room where the nurse would ask your mother questions about your visit general health she will get blood pressure then have you remove your clothes most of the time leave your underwear and socks on usually she would leave the room for a few minutes and then come back in and take Your temperature if you were around seven or older she would ask ur mother if she does an oral or rectal temperature. As you get older they would just do oral temperatures unless you were there for a sick visit and then it was always the dreaded rectal temperature for more accuracy and then the doctor will come in start talking to your mother or whoever took you the whole time they were doing the exam and then explained What they were gonna do and what the outcome was gonna be hopefully you got out of there with just a prescription

Yes my mother Always talked with the doctor about the length of my Penis and my pubes. Very embarrassing.

My mother always accompanied me to the family doctor's and sat in the exam room right through to the end of High School. She always had questions for him about my health and development and watched as I stripped to my underpants and the doctor pulled them down to examine my penis and testicles, then lifted my legs to look at my anus. She seemed especially concerned about my bowel movements and regularity and he suggested various laxatives to keep me regular as well as using glycerin suppositories and hot soapsuds enemas if the laxatives failed to make me go. He also told her to give me a daily hot soapsuds enema whenever I was too sick to go to school to keep my bowels emptied out during the illness.

I think that may have been a common experience for us late bloomers. Not much to talk about during the genital exam if everything is going according to schedule. It's when things are late (or early) when there is more attention.

While my mom was there for all of my pediatrician exams, I don't recall him talking to her about my pubic hair, penis, and testicles until he said I was a late bloomer at 14. Only at 16, when he said I had finally "caught up" did he switch to talking to me instead of her about my development. But prior to him pulling down my undies, that exam at 16 was like every previous exam. He talked to her and not to me.

My step mother almost always talked to my woman pediatrician as she did my exam. They knew each other from my step sister going to her I think since she had been born so they would carry on a conversation and sometimes they would talk about my exam while the doctor was doing it as well

I went to the doctor alone for a physical exam at age 14. Before that my mother took be to one, and my father the other - ages 11 and 12. I may have that reversed. My parents were big on respecting figures in authority, so they would not have asked the doctor anything until the doctor asked them for information or if they had any questions.

I do not remember if my parents came into the exam room if I was there for being sick, but between 14 and 18 I only went to the doctor three times that I can remember - mandatory school physical at 14, driving permit at 16, and entering college at 18. I did not like my pediatrician, which gave me an incentive to stay healthy, or downplay when I was not feeling well.

For the most part, my mom accompanied me too; it was mandatory until I was 16, after that till 18, only if I had genital check too. As tigers and spbb said I was a latebloomer too, so my puberty was always theme. Of course, usually between the doctor and my mother.

Mom was a god person, caring for me and my sisters especially during illness or health issues.

My one disdain though I never expressed it was how I felt my mother was a bit too let’s say, in awe of the male doctors ( medically speaking). Never liked that despite being young.

She seemed to be a bit more willing to scrutinize the female nurses during my exams.

Once during a hospital “pre admissions testing “ taking of vital signs ( pediatric ward) I remember it involved my rectal temperature about to be taken. ( All pre admission testing i think up to age 14 required rectal temperature takings. It might have been rectal on the ward regardless of age. I digress: The nurse about to take my temperature got a bit too much in an hurry and in the process of “ pulling ” my underpants down almost pulled me off the table.!

Mom stopped her.! She had a conversation albeit it brief and ex parte with the nurse. Mom wound up taking my temperature.

This happened all the time. It was especially awkward when I was older

My mother sometimes explains my condition to the doctor for me and doesn't let me talk too much.

As someone who was in foster care since age 9, doctors most certainly communicated more with my foster parents and caseworkers. I was considered defiant and had behavior issues so communication with me was more directive and firm, ie. “get on the table”. While the adult with me was asked questions. It was this way up until I was 18.
