All of the above photo's indicate that a rectal temperature was taken. If you are still not sure, do what I do, smell the end of the thermometer. The smell test is fool proof and rather exciting at the same time. Try it the next time you take your childrens temperature. There is also a distinct difference between a boy and girls smell test. It is best not to let your children see you do this test inasmuch as they might think this procedure is rather queer in nature.

Is the above picture a women? She should have her pants and panties off and the Thermometer up her butt. Would have been a better picture.

Well one thing's for certain, the thermometer held by the nurse in the third picture from the top is definately a rectal. Look at the short stubby bulb on that thing. When I was a kid, that is the kind of pose I remember the nurse in right before she stuck the thermometer up my rearend.

It appears that the sites I linked the images above do not appreciate my efforts and turned linking off. Below are the clickable URLs of the missing images.

I may be reading too much, but I always suspected the Norman Rockwell one was the aftermath of a rectal temp. Why? The boy's legs are positioned as if he just rose from his stomach. If he was having an oral temp, his legs would have out in front of him. He is sitting on his legs which is more consistent with the fact that he was on his stomach.

This one is neither. I'm not sure why a "doc" is holding a deep-fry / candymaking thermometer. Unless, of course, the "doc" is one in the same sense that I am. I've used candy thermos in ladies' bottoms for fun.
