 I last saw a glass thermometer in a medical office in the late 90's. The doctor was a gp who ran a family practice. I was surprised to see it even then, as most practices had the digitals already. I guess that the transition didn't automatically happen everywhere. I wouldn't want to risk the mercury exposure. From a patient's point of view, I would be appalled if asked to remove my pants for a rectal temp. I would walk out the door. What I do in the privacy of my home is for fantasy and enjoyment. I won't allow it to be taken that way by a doctor or nurse. Now, if I were unconscious, I wouldn't care.
