[quote=Anonymous]Get a female doctor. He will be less freaked out. Tell your son you will be in the room with him. Ask the doctor if it is necessary. A good doctor will put him at ease, in your presence. Tell your son that if doctor says he can skip it he can skip. If not he has to do it but you will give him a special reward for managing his anxiety and facing it without a lot of time waste. I personally think you sound kind of insensitive op. Kids this age and older can be really sensitive about their private areas. Your physician husband ought to be a little more sensitive. He sounds really anxious about this. Good luck.
