if an ear thermometr is good enough for a family doctor, why isn't it for a hospital?

Now, I haven't had an ear thermometer used on me for many years, if ever, so forgive me if I'm wrong, but would a family doctor use an ear thermometer on someone that they suspected had an ear infection? Wouldn't that just cause more damage and discomfort if there was an ear-related problem?
