Do any of you have music that still triggers childhood doctor’s office visit flashbacks?

One phone-line I'm often on, probably my clinic, has as the repetitive “on hold” music the last movement of Mozart's K. 333 piano sonata, in B-flat. I adore Mozart, and someday want a complete CD collection of all his music, but I swear I could just about hate that tune!

I'm saying this as one with a bachelor's degree in piano. I studied that piece as a freshman.

It’s a beautiful piece of music…. sorry to hear you associate it with telephone wait time!

I still remember hearing the Toreador March from Bizet's Carmen being played during my last rectal temp at the doctor's when I was seven. The wonderful sensation of the bulb tickling my sphincter muscle resulted in my breathing becoming heavy, but no one said anything.and all too soon, it was over.

I was born when Elvis was the king, and rock was getting started. Some of the greatest songs came out of the 50’s-70’s, including jazz/R&B. I never associated music with medical procedures. I did connect with memories of the seasons, when the songs came out.

No music was in the exam rooms, but the waiting room was always playing elevator music, presumably to calm people down. However, more than music, I mostly remember the overpowering smell of alcohol and like antiseptic permeating the entire building as soon as you walked in the door.

Thank the heavens I've never seem to have experienced music with a doctor's office or appointment. Music, junky stuff played on equipment that deforms it horribly, is already played in so many venues where it does absolutely no good and serves no purpose at all.

So far, a doctor's office and hospital are places where it isn't played. It also helps that publicly played music is taxed twice in my country, which discourages the annoying practice (but still not enough). I wonder if some day the medical profession will acknowledge the existence of 'music rage'?

Sadly not for me , my mom never took us to the doctors , she didn't believe in getting sick and didn't believe in missing school or missing work or making excuses , like if the phone rang and if she answered and if the call was for you and you didn't want to talk to the person she would not make an excuse

Not for a childhood office visit, but the 1st time I was going to allow myself to be seen in a jockstrap by a medical professional (at the dermatologist).

Private Eyes (Hall & Oates) was playing in the room while I waited in just a jockstrap. I had such a rush.

I remember Highlights Magazine. The only place we ever saw it was at the pediatricians office. If you were reading it it was a sure thing you’d soon end up in only your underpants lol

I remember Highlights Magazine. The search for items in the picture sticks in my memory.

Not that I have such musical experiences while getting an RT but a few songs I can think of -“Burnin’ love”, “Fever!”, songs relating to the artists’ temperature rising, from groups like Foreigner and Spencer Davis Group.

Highlights Magazine, all doctor's and dentist's offices seem to have them when I was a kid.

In the 70's, when I was first experiencing, and LOVING, a thermometer being inserted in my butt, at the Pediatrician, they had a station in LA called KBIG. It played what we now call “Elevator Music”, but back then, they called it Easy Listening.

Yeah, Hey Jude, among others, played only by instrumentals, gives me a giant erection still to this day..
