Early in COVID days a coworker called in saying how he felt awful, was spewing from both ends but didn't want to use his only thermometer as he'd had it up his dogs ass several days prior to check his dogs temp. We couldn't convince him to rinse it off & use it to see if he had a fever. "Take one for the team" didn't work. 😅
@smiler2012 Figures we would have to do the opposite here in the states. Then again this might be true if we still used the old school glass thermometers.
@Degbeme Yes there are times we have to check it rectally but 99% of the time its oral and under the effing tongue.....not on top, not biting it, under the effing tongue!
