Taken ill at school

I was at a boys boarding sixth form college (17 y.o.) for two years and had a bit of weird experience. It was not long before my exams and I was a bit stressed. In the evening I started to run a very high temperature. I reported sick to the house matron (a single lady of very late middle age)and she took my temperature (orally :-\ ) and decided I should go to the Sanatorium (known as the San). The san was run by another single middle aged nursing sister (not a bad figure as it happens) but on this night it was her night of. One of the Masters' wives stood in when Sister had a night off and she duly cam to collect me in her car and drove me the short way to the San. I was expecting to be put to bed and kept under observation - this lady had other ideas.

She took me to a small bathroom - and I mean small with just a bath and a bathstool. She explained that she wanted to get my temperature down with a cool bath. She ran the luck warm bath - only about 3 inches deep & called me into the tiny room. It was very cramped with the two of us and I expected her to leave me to it but no ! She told me to strip and get into the bath. I was so embarrassed but I took of my dressing gown and pyjamas whilst she sat on the stool and watched.. The bath had so little water in it that it didn't even come up to the top of my scrotum. I was made to lie back in the shallow water while she occasionally took my temperature. I that cramped space I felt very vulnerable and embarrassed. Eventually I was allowed out of the bath and she dried my back for me and to great care about drying my bottom between the cheeks and legs. I was allowed to dry my front. I then dressed in my pyjamas and was put to bed. I never asked any of my fellow students if they had had similar treatment as I was too embarrassed by it all.

Has anyone else had a similar experience ? Was the treatment genuine or did she just enjoy seeing a naked young man ?

I don't remember how many times that I got sick at school and ended up in the nurses office. When there the nurse always took your temp and at the time they only took it rectally

When I was in school only oral temps were talen.

We had a middle aged school matron who looked after us in the san.

Temperatures were taken rectally by her and the school doctor.

Im sorry but i think your temp had gone to high and you where illucinating the shit thing is you only drempt it all.

where was this school

shorly it wasnt down bullshit avenue

Sounds like it belongs in the story section to be fair!

Although my Mom was 2nd grade teacher, they had to do other chores sometimes. I remember my Mom telling me several times having to substitute for the school nurse when she had some open time. I remember her saying that it always seemed that the smallest and youngest kids were also the sickest and taking their temperatures was always a hassle. I only assumed that she ment a rectal one since sticking one in their mouths was not. This was also back in the mid 50s .If they had a temperature the parent was called to pick them up------I rarely ever went to a nurse because I didnt want to chance on a rectal temp even up thru 5th grade. Has anyone remember having that done to them at school as a little guy?
