Lets not all turn into nutheads here. A glass thermometer in the butt may be a drop more accurate then in the ear, the mouth, or the forehead....but really....
Ive spoken to many doctors and hospital workers about this and all of the forms of temperature taking are adequate.
I suppose if you do it to your kids up the butt, it's cause of tradition. The same tradition that guides religion.
If your kid's temperature is 101 instead of 100, so what? And if you take their temoperature by ear and it reads 100, you can THEN decide to do them up the butt. But i see no reason why to start with the butt temp first.
Its just tradition and as older people die off and younger people come of age, we won't see too much temperature taking in the butt.
My personal feeling is, you can stick any item up my butt you want, but your not jabbing it with a 2 inch needle!!!!
Dont get me wrong, if I was on a desert island and the only medicine that existed was in shot form, sure....Id let ya jab me as I scream bloody murder.
But fortunately we are past the tribal lifestyle and we have other alternatives.
I once had blood poisoning and my vains turned bright red. I looked like a new Star Trek character. I went to my doc and he gave me some antibiotic pills and said, take these. He knew better then to tell me to bend over...lol. If he had, I woulda said "you first.' LOL
Needless to say, in 2 days it was over and I lived happily ever after with no residual aching butt....lol
This guy is not hunting his own food. He's buying it at a supermarket at the crazy self serve that never shuts up.
Hes also trying every alternative before he takes it in the butt..LOL
But if it floats ya boat to stick a thermometer up my rear, knock yaself out.....LOL
