Has anyone lowered their underwear at doctor's office to try to get their temp taken rectally instead of another way?

Has anyone ever actually lowered their underwear or panties at the doctor's office when they were told that they were going to have their temperature taken, in an attempt to force them to give you a rectal thermometer. I have never done this or experienced it, but the thought did cross my mind while being seen by a nurse on time.

No

I honestly don't know what my reaction would have been had I stepped into an exam room to see a patient and found him/her bent over the exam table presenting a bare bum!

No, I never have done that.

Nope I have never done that

I’ve had my rectal temperature taken many times as an adult. But I never resorted to taking my pants /briefs off or lowering them hoping it would be done or hinting to the person in the exam room that was what I wanted. And if that happened, the lowering of pants/ briefs, that is, it was done by the person taking my temperature. And that was only after asking for it to be, and getting it taken rectally.

This sounds like a set up for a very awkward situation.

Noooo but I would do that in a heart beat hahaha if doctor or nurse says we need to take ur temp i will lower my underwear to my ankles and turn over on to my tummy…mind you I’m only in underwear so Everything is visible to the doctor or nurse hahaha

That hahaha sounds like hahaha a great idea hahaha.

Nope

@Temptaker4u thats right!! 😂

No. I think it's better to ask if they can take it rectally first before pulling pants down. But if the doctor asked to take my temperature rectally I would let him or her. But I might first suspect the doctor was joking.

I kind of wish I got a female doctor or nurse and she asked to take it rectally.

Depending on what doc you’re seeing, I doubt they would have a rectal thermometer readily available. Save it for a play doc, not a real one.

I was on the tilt table waiting for a sigmoidoscopy when a nurse came in and said they didn't get a temp on me when they did vitals. Since i was already tilted she said don't get up, I'll take it "backhere." Before I could say anything, she just stuck it in.
