thats an axilary therm. We have two, for some reason they both suck.

Axillary(armpit) is the least accurate area to measure. FLy might have been thinking oral thermometer.

yes

You try an actual old school mercury thermometer (can you even still get one?) Or you talking about a digital you stick in their mouth instead of laser their forehead.

technically oral axillary and rectal are all the same thermometer.

Personally I don't see what the big deal is using the same one in both locations. Soap, water, alcohol.

 

[wetwillie]

Yeah, I know, the better butt ones have a plug so it doesn't fall in. I imagine some might have that issue

 

[wetwillie]

Correct/could be. But "axillary" specifically means the measurement is happening under the armpit.

 

[HipHugHer]

They should just call it an armpit thermometer then.

I'm surprised the kids aren't chipped.

 

[Domon]
