As I sit here reading this stuff...I am just absolutely amazed. Either these posts are a big joke (in which case you got me) or people are utterly pathetic. If you have a teen that can't possibly hold a thermometer in it's mouth...then oh lord have mercy on your soul. You should be on the PARENTING boards. My four year old can hold a thermometer in his mouth long enough to take his temperature. As in regards for accuracy...well if the fever is 102 on a oral thermo and 102.2 on a rectal....either way the kid has a fever around 102. In other words...sick. I think that shoving stuff up a teens butt to find out an exact and arbitrary number by which we may diagnose the level of sickness in the individual is just obscene and perverse. If these 'new fangled' electronic ear thermometers are sooooo inaccurate, then why does EVERY hospital in the country use them exclusively? You might want to look into finding a decent psychiatrist to help you all through your rectal obsession.
