[quote=Anonymous]I would also suggest making sure you have the most experienced person in the office do the culture, to reduce the chance of another bad experience. I have had a few cultures done in the past few years and honestly I am traumatized like your daughter at this point. Some nurses are so bad at it they could be sued for malpractice. Very recently my 9-year old had to be cultured and I was worried. Our ped said she was going to do it herself because she thought the nurses were bad at it, digging around and down the throat unnecessarily. It was a total non-event for my kid, and I know it was done correctly because it was positive for strep in a few short minutes. Having seen how simple it should be makes me mad on behalf of all of us who have had clinicians making us puke over this. Good luck to you both. [/quote]
