“Well Jordan, you need to know that enuresis (that’s the medical term for bedwetting) is very common for kids – and although it becomes less common the older kids get, you should know that given the odds, in a school the size of yours (500), upwards of 30 or 40 students wet their beds and possibly more. You are by no means alone.”
Jordan didn’t respond. The information was helpful and interesting but at that moment, she was still sitting on an exam table essentially naked in front of a stranger in a paper robe.
“Many things can cause the kind of problem you’ve been experiencing and so far – I haven’t noticed anything in your exam that leads me to feel suspicious. We’ll have you leave a urine specimen before you leave but I suspect that will be clear.”
She nodded.
