The receptionist's lap

I've read a number of posts on here about folks receiving injections while over a receptionist's lap.

This has never happened to me, HOWEVER....

The receptionist at my family doctor's when I was a kid was a tall blonde nurse with a British accent and wore one of those old fashioned nurse hats/caps with a traditional white nurse's uniform. When i think back on it now......MY GOODNESS !

Hers would've been a niiiiiiiice lap to be in........

Interesting that you have commented on this subject, I reside in the UK and have also never experienced at any time being bent over a receptionist, or anyone else for that matter, lap for an injection. People I know have not experienced this either. I suspect it is a fantasy which as always I maintain, each to their own.

Never in my entire life have I had an injection over ANYONE's lap. I'm not saying that it never happened to anyone else. But it has never happened to me. I agree that if someone says this still happens to them today (as opposed to 40+ years ago), it's a fantasy or a play scenario.

I think it's pretty clear the receptionists lap is a FANTASY.

Yet, some people persist in posting things that attempt to convince us otherwise. 😢

I think the biggest clue is in the job title of receptionist.

I am probably going to show my age here . When I was very little my dr was a family dr , she delivered me and her practice seen babies to adults . My mom often seen her as well as my grandmother .

The office had one nurse , she was an RN and a family friend , she was also the receptionist. She did everything from filing , scheduling , billing etc to nurse duties like taking vitals, weighing, assisting the dr if need be . I dont remember her ever giving me any injections only the dr did that .

I was never put over her lap or bent over a desk or the the like . I do remember she was always quite crabby very terse and not gentle in the slightest and I did not like her . Even seeing her outside of the office I never seen the woman smile . Perhaps she was overworked or simply a very unhappy spinster.

I cannot imagine a receptionist pulling me, or any patient over her lap for an enema. I did receive a series of antibiotic retention enemas for a colitis infection about 20 years ago. Those were administered in a strictly medical environment with me on an exam table. However, on the last of a two week series of daily treatments, my nurse asked me if she could ask me a very personal question, and if I would promise not to tell the doctor she asked.

Naturally, I was intrigued, and said yes. She nearly blew me away when she said, "I noticed that you never complained this whole time, and seemed to not be embarrassed by your erections. I wonder if you were enjoying the enemas." I told her that she gave very comfortable enemas and that I did enjoy them. Then asked if she would allow a personal question. She agreed and I told her she seemed to enjoy her work, was I wrong? She blushed and asked if she was that obvious. The conversation led to us making a dinner date that evening, which ended with us exchanging an SSE and a rinse before I left for home. We have been enema friends with benefits ever since.

My daughter was really bad once and she was held down over the lap of the Dr. and the nurse gave her the two shots and she was really screaming and carrying on.
