Boy, 11 yo, North America - exam at boarding school
I am male. It happened in North America in 1970-1979. I was 11 year old. My parents drove me to the exam.
It happened at the regular nurses or medical room at the school. A selected percentage of the children in my school of the age group had the ezam.
Preparations: I was not allowed to eat some time before the exam. They washed my body before the exam. I had to strip totally naked before the exam. They placed me upon a simple examination table. I was placed to lay on my back with steight legs and to lay on my stomach with my legs flexed down and spread.
I got a blood pressure monitor wrapped around an arm. The anesthesia made me relaxed, but I was conscious.
The procedures: They performed an analysis of my breathing and oxygen uptake where I had to breath into a tube. They took chest x-ray pictures. They ispected the inside of my nose with a scope","They inspected the inside of my throut with a scope. They inspected my anus with a speculum.
Ordeals after the procedure: I just lay some time in a bed to recover. I lay naked under a blanket after the exam.
The type of school I attended: I attended private boarding school.
Extended well-child and well teen physicals
In certain areas the health authorities has begun to subject children and teens to extended well-child physicals where one performs several or all of the following procedures: inspections with optical scopes through all or several body openings,ultrasound examinations of most body structures, x-ray taking of joints, EEG and EKG. The kid is often given sedation or even general anesthesia during these extended physicals to make the kid cooperative and to hinder him or her from remembering. Still the kid will remember a lot of details around the procedures and sometimes also from the procedures themselves, because anesthesia never works perfectly, and the kid will always have some symptoms afterwards that tell a lot of what has been done. This poll has the aim of investigating experiences from such ordeals.
I have made a poll to investigate these practices further. Please take the poll if you have experienced something of the kind.

It is used both on children and adults in cases where the bladder shrinks or is over-active. But many people do not know they have had that treatment as a child, because one often uses general anesthesia and the child is not told what happens.
