Ever have to teach someone to use a glass thermometer?

Have you had an experience where the person tasked to taking your temperature with a glass mercury thermometer had no idea how to?

I had two occasions, one from a nurse and one from a CCT who inserted the thermometer backwards. I asked if they ever had it done (rectal temperature)Both said no. Would have gladly demonstrated on them. Teaching, you know…passing on knowledge!

”Butt” on the bright side, one CCT took mine as professionally as an older nurse, remarking, “ Oh I am very familiar with this type thermometer. Got them up my butt many times!”

Having myself a strong rectal temperature fetish, I enjoyed very much your post. Looks unbelivable to me. As the Italian put it :" Si non e vero,, e bene trovato''.

I have posted on the forum about my male friend and I playing doctor between age 10 and just past age 13. The first time we played when parents were away. I had to teach him how to take my temperature. I already knew how, but he never learned. So after a bit of instruction, he became very got at it.
