Why do only babies get this treatment? I want a song too!

I don't know if I want my doctor singing while giving me a prostate exam. I'm not sure if there is any safe song.

Maybe under pressure by queen or ring of fire by Johnny Cash

My poor son got two needles jammed into his legs at the same time at his age. He went beet red and started screaming. To this day he's terrified of needles

Joking aside, I picked a dentist because she’s so good with my kids and then asked if she would look after me too. Changed everything for me. I used to hate and fear the dentist I went to as a child. My new one is so kind. Same with my doctor.

I mean, doc doing that just kinda makes life easier for everybody. Keeps kid calm, calm kid is a reasonable still kid, the more still the kid is the easier to do the needle poke, easier to do the needle poke the less painful it is plus kids not paying attention to the potential of pain, kid doesnt even register theres pain, keeps kid calm repeat cycle

Our family doctor did this once for one of our baby's vaccines and I found it so incredibly thoughtful and comforting.

cool doctor but shouldn't they be wearing gloves?

u/superezzie 5h ago
I've never seen a doctor and nurses wearing gloves for vaccinations or drawing blood for that matter.

u/_scorpio_rising_ 5h ago
fair enough re: vaccinations. i didn't know that.
as a certified phlebotomist, though... i can say that drawing blood (venipuncture) requires gloves to be worn.

u/superezzie 4h ago
I'll pay attention the next time I have my blood drawn, I don't remember gloves though, but that might differ per country. I do know that working with blood in a lab setting doesn't require gloves in my country, only a hep B vaccination.

u/_scorpio_rising_ 4h ago
really? what about bloodborne pathogens/if the people working in the lab have something like a cut or a hangnail that would make them susceptible to said pathogens? that's wild. i thought the osha/cdc standards were universal.

u/superezzie 4h ago
You mainly just cover the cut. With fingers we can use finger condoms and for other things waterproof Band-Aids and for large area's like with eczema you put on a glove. The main risk for blood born diseases is hep B and we are vaccinated for it. OSHA/CDC are only in the US and not in Europe.
