I was never naked.
I actually think it's stupid if some mother let her child be totally naked, just to get the temp checked.
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I just don't see ANY reason to let the person who get's his/her temp taken, be naked. If you are not playing doctor.
Everyone knows that people think it's embarrassing to get their temp taken rectally.
Almost everyone also knows, that it't the best way to do it.
So even it's embarrassing for the person, it's OK to do it. It's for his/her own good.
But then I just feel, that you should try to make this procedure not more embarrassing for the person, than it should be.
And being totally naked, just to get a thermometer in the rectum, is something that is absolutely not necessary.
But like I said, I don't mean to be disrespectful, this is just how I feel about this.
Hope you know what I mean.
