starts by taking your temperature rectally. Isn't this inappropriate for a 13 yr old?? She said that if I wear a skirt it will give me the most coverup because he won't make me take it off. I'm really scared, is this normal. She says that he is old fashion and insists on having an active reading, but is this appropriate???

Good for you for even questioning it! Even if it WAS ok, you still have the choice to say NO THANKS!..he can give you the normal mode of taking your temp. He should also have a nurse in the room with him as well if he's doing that sort of thing. Failing all that, you take an adult woman whom you trust in there with you. If he's "hinky", that'll make him change his mind. You stand up for yourself girl!!

Hi, Lily, I see you are fantasizing about going to the doctor's office again. This fascination of yours with being molested is really not healthy. But besides that, the problem with yelling "fire" all the time, is that if you ever really do need help...or are molested for real...those that might be able to help you won't take you seriously.
Grow up, little girl.

Old fashion my butt, if you dont feel comfortable doing it, then go to a doctor that takes your temperature my mouth, cause that is a bunch of foolishness. And i dont think that is appropriate for anybody, unless you are an animal.

no i think that he is a pervert and just wants to look at girls private parts to get off. also the second acurate reading came be done by mouth. if he insists tell him you want a nurse in there with you. also tell your mom. or find a different doctor. i just dont trust this guy.

Tell the nurse that you are 13 years old and quite capable of holding still with a thermometer under your tongue.
(I think she's just trying to scare you ;) lol )

It is totally unnecessary. There are have been thermometers for years that will give an instant reading from your ear and nowadays even from your forehead. It look like he's an old perv. And even he's not an old perv, he's hopelessly out-of-date.
Lastly-do your parents know about this man?

It doesn't matter what the proper routine is, if YOU don't feel comfortable with it, you don't have to. You have the right to refuse.
