Temperature taken in the car

Has anyone ever had their rectal temperature taken in the car?

What was it like?

Who took your temperature?

What was the reason it was taken in the car?

My experience was during COVID when doctors were having to do the “car visits”.

I had gone to the dr for a sore throat. The nurse came out 1st and did my vitals and such. She first took my temperature on my forehead but it didn’t seem to be registering correctly. She used her hand and felt my forehead and said this reading can’t be right…..you feel very hot to the touch; I can feel the heat coming off of you! She talked to me about my symptoms and then took my temperature on my forehead one more time before going in to get the dr.

After about 5 mins here came the Dr holding some sort of box looking instrument and the nurse right behind her carrying a sheet. My Dr walked up and said; “come over here to the passenger side. That way it will be a little more comfortable and won’t have to contend with the steering wheel being in the way.”

I moved and got into position and she took my temperature rectally right there in the car while the nurse held up the sheet for privacy. It didn’t hurt; I always take or have taken my rectal temperature but it was a first for me to have it taken in the car and was a little awkward!

I did cry a little but only b/c I felt bad and it was just awkward! My dr is one the best around and would never do anything to cause harm but it was just weird! Lol!

Btw…..I ended up having strep throat and my rectal temperature was 102.8 🥵😬

I had my temperature taken in the car once, returning from a family weekend.

I was about 10-11 years old, it was spring and we had been to the seaside with my parents and my sister and I, as I usually did, wanted to go swimming even though the water was still freezing cold and I had a terrible cold.

On the way back, in the car, while my father was driving, my mother, sitting next to him in the passenger seat, after my umpteenth sneeze or cough, turned around and, looking at me, said that she thought my eyes looked red and touched my forehead. She said that I was hot and that it was necessary to take my temperature.

My father suggested that we stop at a rest area, but my mother said that it was not necessary and took the thermometer out of her purse, passed it to my sister, who is 9 years older than me, therefore, at the time about twenty, asking her to take my temperature.

It had already happened that my sister took my temperature when we were alone at home and I was sick, but always in her lap while she was sitting on the sofa, never in the car!

I tried to rebel, fearing that someone might see me if he were to drive alongside a taller vehicle, but I was allowed to oppose and my dear sister, while she was already lowering the thermometer, ordered me to lower my pants and underwear to my knees and lie down on her legs and I had to obey.

My sister and my mother were kind and attentive and were sorry to have to insert a non-lubricated thermometer into my bottom, but my sister assured me that she would be careful and very delicate and so she was.

After she had slowly inserted the thermometer, avoiding hurting me, she held it tightly with the fingers of one hand, while, with the other hand, she caressed my buttock and, in the meantime, she said sweet and reassuring words to me, explaining however that, if I had not been stubborn in wanting to swim in the cold water, I would have saved myself that annoyance.

In the meantime, I felt the road whizzing under the car and I counted the seconds inside myself. When I thought I had reached 300, therefore 5 minutes (60 seconds X 5), I told my sister that the time had passed and she had to take the thermometer away from me, but she replied that I was wrong and that more than a minute still had to pass.

I held back from screaming and shortly after the thermometer was finally taken away. I did indeed have a fever...

I can’t even imagine that. Hopefully, the car was parked. I knew a guy in college, who was arrested while driving around nude. He thought it was a joke, until a cop pulled up next to him. My guess is that taking a rectal temperature in a car, might get the same result.

In China, during the COVID crisis, they actually had drive through testing centers, both for temperatures and anal swabs. People drove into the station and stuck their butts out the window. See photo below:

That picture nearly destroyed me 😃 😃 😃

I haven't had my temperature taken in a car, but I've done it a couple of times. Over on alt.com, I found a lady with mutual interests. My policy is always to meet safely in a public place, first. I had bought an enema bag, to give to her. We decided to get in my car, and go to a fairly deserted park. While there, I offered to take her temperature. She pulled down her pants and panties, and leaned away from me on the seat. This gave me access to her bottom, as one would with a patient on her side, in a bed. After the temp, I gave her a suppository. Unfortunately, we were never able to arrange the logistics for a meeting.
