Not a doctor thing though, is it.
I suspect the very clever high tech expensive aural thermometer may
be making work for us - whereas any fool can buy and use a liquid
crystal
strip, and certainly buy and likely use a glass clinical thermometer,
and the digital electronic ones are only a few pounds, it
would be a little much to expect all citizens to have a bolometer
in their residence.
Mind you, I saw a bundle in the local pharmacy, Braun handheld food
processor and aural tehrmometer packaged together. The former is
one of my favourite kitchen tools.
