Taking a child's temperature by rectal thermometer is not uncommon.

i am aware of this, i just don't understand why it is. if an ear thermometr is good enough for a family doctor, why isn't it for a hospital? if a stick on probe thingy is good enough for a newborn intensive care unit, why isn't it good enough for a non-emergency section of an emergency room?
cheers!
