Doc vs. Nurse: who would you rather have take your RT?

Female nurse is my preference

I prefer that my doctor takes it cause he already saw me naked so I don't want any other person to see me naked

It doesn't matter to me. I know its the best way to get an accurate reading.

Nurse or doctor is fine as long as she is a female.

Much prefer a female nurse

Female nurse or female doctor

Female only, whether RN or MD.

I'd probably feel more comfortable with a male doing it, whether it be a doctor or nurse. Just a personal preference I suppose. Feel the same way when it comes to shots in the butt too.

Only nurse!

Definitely a uniformed (female) nurse. However, if a female doctor wants to check it afterwards......

I am brought back to my youth on this one because NOBODY takes that way anymore! I used to go to my pediatrician and as sure as anything a rectal temp was going to be used on any visit. I LOVED it when one of his nurses took mine. He was OK/efficient but there was something much better about when his nurse took it.

If I was able to find a doctor's office that insisted on a rectal temp these days I would still prefer the nurse to do it.

The nurse would be my choice since Doc's are in too much of a rush.

Nurse more fun and not rushed

Both are fine but I would prefer kind and gentle nurse.

For me would have to be a female nurse. Also since I'm in my 40's I remember the old fashioned all white nurse uniforms and those are a real turn on.

I don't remember anyone other than the nurse taking my temperature prior to the Dr. coming in. I did get it from a Dr. when he came to our home, but that is all but non-existent in this day and age.

I think i would prefer a nurse.

I have only ever had it done by my Dr. as a child and my "Dr" as an adult.

Definitely a pretty nurse!

I love both Docs and Nurses taking my rectal temp.

Would rather have the nurse do it, than the doctor. Last time I was temped rectally was in the ER with a heat illness. The nurse had me roll onto my side and she used an electronic thermometer with a large probe cover on it. In hindsight, it was quite a nice experience.

Doc or nurse, as long as they're female.

A cute nurse, either male or female is fine. Better odds of getting a hot nurse than a hot doctor 😉

Definitely a doctor, and right when he comes in the room.

If a nurse took my temp, she takes it, walks out and I don't see her again, but if the doc does it right at the beginning, not only do I go through the rest of my exam with the squishy feeling on lube (hopefully vaseline) in my butt, but there's also the psychological aspect, knowing this guy just took my rectal temperature, now I'm in the room with him for 20-30 minutes while he examines the rest of me. It's even better if he does the whole Q&A part of the exam while the thermometer is still in my butt.

A dominate doc for sure(:

Definitely a nurse

Save for 'play'... I haven't had a doctor's rectal temp taken since I was a kid and it was always done by his nurse. If it were to happen today and I wasn't too sick to enjoy it...a young attractive female nurse would be my choice.

Havnt had a rectal temprature taken before but i would love for a dr or nurse to do it as long as there female and they hae to do it in a certain way for instance the doctor or nurse would have me on the bed with my bum up in the air with my head on a pillow my bottom is fully exposed then the dr or nurse decides to prepare it could be both a female doctor and a female nurse, maybe whilst im just laying on my belly with my butt on display pointing towards them, i can hear them in the backround talking on how they are going to do this like im not there, i feel one of them come over to me put both there hands on my bum and say, ok sweety im just going to look inside your bum to make sure we can take your temprature this way before i respond she spreads my bum cheeks apart and i feel the cool breeze going to my hole, i feel her then looking closer into my bum she says dr come and look at this what do you think, i know then it was the nurse that just done that, the nurse lets go and i feel the doctor spread apart my bum cheeks to look inside, the doctor says to the nurse he is a bit dirty bach here can you clean his bum for him before we take his temprature. the nurse goes away and comes back infront of me saying sweety the dr has asked me to clean your bum first because your a bit dirty ok she goes back and i feel with one hand her spreading my bum cheeks, with the other hand i feel her wiping my bum. After a few wipes the nurse pats my bottom and says ok sweety your all nice and clean now, she repeats this to the doctor once again i feel the dr spread my bum cheeks apart and inspect my bum for cleanliness she gives a hum of satisfaction and asks the nurse to apply the lubrication, i feel the nurse come back to me and with one hand spread my bum cheeks and i feel her fingers probing my anus with some moist gel applying round the ring and then gently digging in to my butt i normally get screamish about things entering my bottom but this nurse does it so gently i find it pleasurable, she finishes lubing me up and once again the doctor widens my butt to examing my anus she says ok nurse get the thermometer, then slowly i feel the thermometer going slowly in, after reading my temp the nurse gets a warm wet flannel and washes my bum so the moisture cleans off my bum,

sorry i got a bit carried away i know this is obviouse it isnt real but then again so are regular rectal temps at drs offices who is going to give a rectal temp to an adult unless you have a bad mouth bad ear and there digital machine is broken

It could be both. After finishing all the prep stuff like BP, weight etc. the nurse could insert the thermometer and leave it to stay in until the doc comes in.

I am a nurse so my preference would be to have another nurse take my temp.
