I hope you dont think they put a thermometer up there Colin....a catheter goes up your urethra !!

As for core temperature the thermometer goes up your rectum and no it doesnt take 3 hours, you'll be glad to hear Im happy taking temperatures in armpits

In our med ctr we kept oral thermometers in drawer a and rectal in drawer b imagine the horror on my face during sick parade one morning watching a hung over young medic take the wrong implement out and shove it in a guys mouth his face was better though as he realised but dare not say a thing to the 6'6" mortarman he was treating.... I know it was clean but still.....

Another time my mate was taking a temperature with a rectal thermometer and put his left hand on the guys shoulder, I put my right hand on his other shoulder as he inserted the thermometer..... funny how the human brain works.......
