Rectal Temperature Taking. Posted: 12-13-05 07:38am
This week I get a complete physical and I
can pretty much predict that as soon as
the examination starts, the first thing
that is going to be done will be my vital
signs which will most certainly include a
rectal temperature taking.
I can speak for myself, first that it
doesn't bother me to have this done, as
i've had more than my fair share of rectal
temperature takings since my early
twenties.
I've not only had it done at medical
facilities, but on occasions when i've had
colonics, the therapists have preceeded
the colonic with a rectal temperature
check.
I would like to know if others who post
here also have this procedure done, as i'm
told that this is a practice by the
medical profession that is coming back and
being relied on more than other routes of
measurements. :?:
