Nurse or doctor in the family

I was (am) curious, did anyone have a mom or dad that was a doctor or nurse, and if so did they let you listen to your own heartbeat or theirs?

I've got a cousin that's a Nurse Practitioner. Never really spoken about it though.

My wife is a RN, but she does not accept any MedFet playing. She says medicine is a serious thing and that cannot be an object of any entertainment. But I have written about it in another thread.

I worked as a patient care tech for awhile (cross between a CNA and a phelebotomist). I have several nurses in my family and my grandfather was a nephrologist (now retired, but still lectures at the hospital). I never did any auscultation with family members- medical or not.

My mom was a registered nurse, and she's taken my BP before. But that was it, thank God.

I had a Great, great, great uncle who was an instructor at some college teaching doctors to become Urologists. This was back in late 1800's.

Also have a daughter who is an RN. All I have been able to get her to do is give me an "IM" injection of Avonex for my MS treatment.

Well, from a different perspective, I AM the nurse in the family.

All my years growing up in a rather large extended family when all of us, meaning a few hundred or so got together for any even we could, multiple times a year mind you, at that part of our lives, and you know how families run in sections/generations, well, for the longest time I was the last of the grandchildren and the only girl. So I was always not only the baby of my family having 2 older brother, but I was also the baby for the entire family. And they treated me as such even after my kids were 7, 8, 9 years old. I was aways "oh, there's Little Hanna and her babies. No one ever thought I was old enough to have kids of my own yet, no no, Hanna was still the baby of the family. Often times, even into the start of my 30's, there were still things I wasn't allowed to hear because they might be not be appropriate for Sweet little Hanna.

Well, then this Hanna, the sweet Amish nun went to nursing school and passed with high honors. The next party we had as a whole family was for me, the end of all my years past, apparently the family suddenly decided that I was a nurse and that qualified me to sit at the grown up table.

They were never disrespectful, I think they just were not ready to let the last of that generation finally grow up, but had no choice when Hanna came home with a nursing license.

I was amazed how my ranking in the family dynamics suddenly changed. I went from being 3 years old to 30 years old, not aging a bit in their eyes, until again, as I said I became a nurse, then suddenly every changed, everyone started treating me differently, had instant respect and was upgraded into to the top tier of the family discussions where I was not really privy to be at in the past.

Now sure what had happened when the adult went upstairs to talk about what not while the children downstairs spent most of their time watching TV and not paying attention to what the adults were doing upstairs. At first at these parties most were calm in the talk of the adult subjects, but for some reason this night seemed to be about me.

A few beers later out of some of my family members, and I could feel it happening, but, before I go on remember it was only a few months earlier I was still getting the pats on the head and them telling me how big I have grown (which is great with you are 5, but not so much when you are 30, trust me there.

So were we were sitting around drinking and trying to go over every ones lives since we had seen them. The conversations started out sort of hum drum and Again, quickly, thins got sort of quiet for a few minutes. I noticed that some of them were still staring about me, and there was a little whispering going on. Which by the way drives me nuts very quickly, after all, as I have said in many a posts coming from me. What's whispering going to cause to prove to be effect? Nothing, except frustration, anger, and segregated. Which in turn, puts you in a position for being way past sitting at the children's table, but not old or experienced to be with the big dogs as it were. And, what tops this list or quirky things, making them more odd to start with was these people are my family and extended family.

Maybe it's my age, maybe it's the fact that by that time I was 30 with two kids, been married almost 10 years, and they finally considered myself an adult? Who knows? Their questions started out in the normal range of question, i.e, what kind of nursing do you want to do? Are you going to go back to school and become an RN, or a PA or a NP? How did I like going to school, working a full time 40 each week, and basically being a single parent due to the fact that my husband working a modified second shit which meant he left for work at 2ish, and got home by 3-4 am, which also included drive time as he worked an hour away. I answered all of their question, and they are family, and I was hoping they were asking because they were proud of me for going to nursing school at such a late age, basically raising the girls by myself, school hours were from 8-4, Monday through Thursday, with an occasional Friday tossed in there for snow days, kids had to be at school at 7, so I dropped them off, went home and showered then went to school Got home about 4:20, picked up the girls from one of their after school sports aactivities. Then we went home, I took a two hour nap, woke up, we ate at Subway almost everyday because it was quick, very cheap, they gave us fantastic discounts since we ate there everyday and they new money was tight as I paid for school out of pocket. But we could get a 4" round sandwich, a bag of chips a cooked and a large drink for all three of us for just under 7 bucks for the three of us. Well, to be honest with you, I really couldn't make anything cheaper, and it wasn't all that unhealthy, not to mention Subway was directly behind the house just about so the girls could walk there. After we ate, we went over their homework, made sure it was all done, then they went to bed, I copied my notes from all my class notes into writing even I could read, then Off to bed, then it all started again. On the weekends however, I had to be at work at 6 AM, and worked until 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday, then worked second shift on Sunday's, so I worked from 2 to 11:00 PM, which in turn gave me a 40 hour work week on top of a 40 plus hour school schedule.

Anyway, I digress, suddenly with a nursing license legally registered in my great state, my family decided I could move up to the big kids table. If you have ever done the big kids/adult table thing at your house, you know what an honor that is. LOL. Looking back on that now, yes, I agree it was time, past time, but there was a lot more than meets the eyes concerning my step up.

So, all seemed greatly impressed that little Hanna was able to accomplish this, be in the top few of the class and never cracked open a book. Didin't have to, just a good note taker, copied my notes once, read them, once right before my test and did okay.

So I got off easy as far as the family berating was concerned. And again I was sadly mistaken. While I don't mind people asking me medical question/advice, I by law am not allowed to diagnose, however skirting around that topic I will say things like, "it could be a number of things with the symptoms you are telling me/presenting me, and then I list them in order of easiest to most difficult. Then I give them my personal thought as to what is going on since almost 100 percent of the family history is already know. Then I either they need to be seen by the doc, or the ER, or it will probably take care of itself, listen to your body, it's our guide.

Not so much on that first family get together did a lot of this happen, but less than 6 months later we were all again at a family function. I went from being Little Hanna" to being, when introduced to newbies, "this is Hanna, she's a nurse." And about that time again the adults separated from the younger ones. Again everyone started drinking, now let me tell you, they always drink at family functions, but no one gets drunk. A little less shy/discreet/uninhibited yes. So the next thing I knew my favorite great uncle sat across the room, and started talking to me about sexual dysfunction, he was 72 at the time. He listed me off his med lists. He had no difficulties discussing this with the woman on 6 months ago was patting me on the head telling me how fast I grew up. I answered him the best I could without having my Tabers or medical dictionary handy and or dandy. But that wasn't the last of the questions or probing that evening. I heard and saw more odd nakedness from family member relating to legitimate health issues that evening that it would have put in unrated, uncensored Deliverance movie to shame.

Now, please do not take this the wrong way here, but I am just a nurse, I am not a doctor, by law I can't diagnose and I can't write any scrips for any scheduled narcotics that are a schedule 1 or 2, but I can write for the rest of them, Vicoden, Ambien, Restoril, Norco, ultram and a few other 100 things, but not if you are not a patient of mine at my facility where I have rights to act as our house doctors advocates and can write for what I feel is appropriate.

Again, I have gotten way off topic here, very sorry. Point I guess I am trying to make here is that I am on the other side of this coin that this topic as brought up and wanted to give you another perspective. Personally I don't mind being asked question from family member or non-family members, I kind of enjoy it.

I know way way way all too well facing medical matters along without prior knowledge for a basic understanding of what you are dealing with is a very scary place to be. Often times having a friend, family member, or the like in your corner to help guide, interpret, and or just listen makes all the difference in the world to the people on the other side of the white coat sitting a top the crinkle of the exam room table.

And yes, I usually carry a bag of goodies in my van at all times, carries basic essentials for first aid as well as more advanced equipment, for those special occasions.

And on a closing not, it still amazes me beyond belief just having a nursing license or a doctors license makes people want to share with you every medical story, good or bad, embarrassing or not with you, family or not. But when your favorite Uncle starts talking about the differences in his prostate/sex life, age, and the correlation between the two, then moves right into possible solutions and techniques for his sited examples. I gently suggested he go and see a urologist/proctoligist, and that those sorts of things I can't put a band-aid and some bactine on it and have it go away in a few short days.

And then at that point, it was time for this little Amish girl to go and have a cigarette because I was afraid the next step in his progression would be for him to usher me to a back bedroom so he could drop 'em and let me have a good look for my

self.

Now finally back to the original question, and again from a slightly different perspective since I am the health care professional. I can't say that growing up I had played with medical equipment, but as a mother of two girls they used to listen to each other hearts all the time, lungs and abdomen as well. I let them play with virtually all of my "safe" medical equipment except my sharp pointy things, which they knew better anyway.

Sorry its' so long, insomnia will do that for you. Hope this helps and gives you a slightly different perspective.

Funny enough, i used to babysit for a couple people who were nurses by profession. I initially was uncomfortable around them, but then just seemed to relax into being a friend with them. Their kids sometimes liked to play doctor lol... of course i was the victim lol.

While i never had a family member who was in the medical profession, i somehow managed to be very close to people who were in the medical profession.

Mashie- Are you a NP? I noticed you said you can write certain scripts...

Peaches, no, I am not an NP. But in our state I am allowed to write for things that are not a schedule 1 or 2. But, I am only allowed to do so under the medical director. We are then considered "advocates" of that doctor, and the patient has to be his patient. I can't write for anyone or anything like that.

Now with this being said, I don't like it, I have done it a time or two, but I think it sticks my neck out there way too much.

Ah okay. Here in IL nurses can't write prescriptions, well they physically write down phone or verbal orders of course, so I wasn't sure.

There is no one in my family in the medical field, but my friends father is a paediatrician. Even though he is a child specialist he is the doctor of my sister, my sister had a compolsary exam done by him as she had some problems with pcos. My sister has to lift her clothes so that he can examine her thoroughly with a stethoscope, she will be asked to breathe in and out so many times and then he tells her to lie on the bed and examines her tummy. After that a few tablets or an injection, one on her hands and the other over her buttocks.

I wish i had a relative as a nurse in the family and they knew of my fetish, that would be heaven mmmm !!!!!

A physician, especially a cardiologist, or a cardiac nurse, is trained to hear far more than just a rhythm. We listen for "swishes", "clicks" and gallops" among other sounds which indicate the condition of the heart. It takes quite a bit of time to learn various rhythm which can be diagnostic and very few physicians will rush the exam if they hear something abnormal.

Anyone in my family are doctors or nurses 😢

I often wonder if parents who are doctors carry out examinations on their children, or do they leave that to the health practitioner? It must be an odd feeling knowing that you could provide regular attention, but at the risk of becoming over attentive, and also embarrassing as they grow older

Well I don't think Doc would mind if I shared this but I believe he sent both of his kids to his partner in the practice. He would take care of them at home when they needed care, you know normal parenting stuff, but he would take them to her for other medical stuff or physicals and what not.

Actually doing any more than basic care to family is considered a huge boundary violation and is highly frowned upon these days.

My uncle is a nurse, i've dreamed to steal his stethoscope a lot of time xD

My Dad went to medical school, and he always had a stethoscope and a sphygmomanometer. I would always "borrow" them to play doctor, but never had the courage to tell him.

Give me a few more years and i'll be my family's nurse. Thanks to a family friend and a prior job training i was requested by a home health nurse to run vital checks on my mom after an accident. It's very interesting from a professional viewpoint (and i can be highly incapable of doing anything like that in a fetish sense which is ...rather hard to understand)

When i was 9 my cousin had just started nursing school and since we lived in the same house i was her guinea pig for the next six years. Every morning before we both left for school i would get my rectal temp taken. About twice a week it was listening to my heart and blood pressure. I hated that the most. And everything else was routine. She practiced enemas on me too about every two weeks i got one. My mom knew about it and asked me if it bothered me but she was my favorite cousin and i trusted her. Now whenever i need anything or if im sick she takes care of me.

Thank you everyone especially Nashie for your replies ... P.S. Mashie I personally enjoy reading your posts because you are so open and write so well and hold nothing back.

Thank you for saying thank you. A karmic bump for you. 4 > 5.

No one in my family are doctors or nurses 😢 😢

I had a aunt who was a nurse. I never spoke about any medical stuff with her. She was a little dingy to me anyway

When I was in high school my mother went back to school and got her LPN but never used it much. She got it mainly if something happened to my father who was in the service.

My uncle lived with my family while going through nursing school. I was about six when he moved in and he lived with us for a few years while he finished school then married. He thought it was funny when my brother and I played with his stethoscope, which we did quite often. It was the first time I had ever used a stethoscope too because I was always too shy to ask the doctor.

Me myself, in our family, we didn't have any medical persons. But I'd really would have liked very much to have some. Friends of my parents, Mum was a doctor, she was about mid 40's, quite attractive.

As we didn't consult her - we saw a different doctor - I was not stethed by her (I'd love to !!!), and I very rarely saw her in her White coat, and only once I saw her Stethoscope

But they had two daughters, one about 10, the elder one about 17 - my Age, we went to the same School. That was something for my rich vivid fantasy! I always imagined her being stethed by her mother, either wearing her tiny soft Teenie bra, or topless with her soft rose nipples, when I saw her. With the corresponding reaction in my trousers...

I couldn't imagine regular "Family physicals" in her Family, but when someone was sick or so, she certainly took her blood pressure gear and her stethoscope and did a quick exam. In the bed, Lifting her Pyjama top...

I once read a Story of a Girl who's mother was a gynecologist, and when she was about 16 yo, mother told her that it was the Moment for a first gyn exam. But she didn't want to be examined by her mother. She didn't want to strip naked in front of her mother. But she insisted, and finally the Girl was examined by her mother. She disliked is so much that she always saw a different gyn afterwards. I can very well imagine that the Girl didn't want to be touched, stethed, examined by her own mother !

But I also imagine this exam being very fascinating and erotic - for me as spectator, of course...

These mother/Father - daughter exams were my favorite masturbation fantasies. And once in a playdoc stethoscope session I had the Chance to have mother (about 40yo) and her attractive, busty daughter (18yo). Stething her was a dream, watching mother stething her daughter was unbelievable, and mother palpating daughter's georgous young firm breasts was one of the best things I ever saw. I was even able to Video These Scenes. It was an undiscribable Tension between mum and daughter - she was a bit embarassed and shy and blushed, mum was attentively and concentratedly to her heart with my (!) Stethoscope, you could see it in her face. And as concentrated and full of Attention and curiosity (and embarassement and shyness on the other side) as at the Stethoscope exam, the breast Palpation took place. Unforgettable moments, fortunately preserved on Video tape.Still one of my most frequently used "wank aid"

My ex is an LVN. I remember a friend of a family friend coming over to our apartment once to have her BP checked.

I had just come home from work when she walked in; I was in the bedroom changing clothes when I heard her and my ex talk about heart murmurs

l walked out of the bedroom into the living room then I saw her bare chested. (my ex's family friend ) topless. I was kind of surprised. My ex said she thinks she might have a heart murmur. Her bra size is probably a G or H, I was surprised.

Within immediate family, there are none but I have plenty of medics amongst my relatives. Would never dare to ask them if they have a stethoscope/heartbeat fetish.
