“Ashley, I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to take a rectal temp on you
to get the most accurate reading okay ? It’s going to be a little
uncomfortable, but I promise it wont hurt.”
” Please, cant you take it in my mouth?” she begged, head throbbing, nose
stuffy, ears clogged shut, feeling a little nauseous from not eating
anything all weekend. She tried to move as little as possible as her
arms, legs, and body were one mass of pain.
“No , it needs to be rectal”, she said in a low voice. She turned to
Ashley, the thermometer tightly clenched between hergloved fingers, a tube
of KY lubricating jelly in the other hand.
