Fahrenheit or centigrade, your last RT?

I saw something on TV that jarred a memory. I remember two RTs taken with centigrade rectal thermometers. Your last…F or C?

Fahrenheit for me. I grew up in the U.S. I think in and intuitively comprehend F. I know how to convert to C and often did when I was flying. But C is like a foreign language I know somewhat but have to convert to/from English to use. I don't have any rectal thermometers with a C scale except a digital one that can be set to either.

°C

Always C for me..

Fahrenheit only

Fahrenheit, but I remember from science and a Red Cross nursing course years ago the conversion. A 98.6 oral temp is right at 37°C. Add a degree in Fahrenheit for a rectal, and it’s just over 37.5 in centigrade.

C to F (0°C × 9/5) + 32 = 32°F

F to C (32°F − 32) × 5/9 = 0°C

°F live in the usa. 🌡️

My favourite glass thermometer has a dual C/F scale, so I guess you could say I’m ambidextrous. 😊

The rectal thermometer is in Fahrenheit it is glass and old. The temperature gun is in both Centigrade and Fahrenheit. It is not as accurate.

Years ago, for a few months, I had a very intimate reiation with an American girlfriend who was as much into rectal temperature as myself. We took eachother's temperature a lot. She allwqys counted in Fahrenheit, I in Celsius. Fortunately each of us had his ( her ) own thermometer and we never shared them. Safety first.

I only own the Fahrenheit version. The centigrade version would be nice too.

C only for me.

I have only had Fahrenheit 🌡️

I recently sold a glass mercury centigrade fever thermometer on an auction site. On at least two occasions my temperature was taken with dual scale glass mercury thermometers.

I only have a Fahrenheit thermometer

Well I prefer a mercury “glass in my ass” rectal thermometer when my temperature is taken. Whether it reads in C or F scale is not an issue. No doubt the person taking my temperature knows how to read either scale.

As long as it doesn't break leaving mercury inside your body.

Wouldn't this answer always be "Fahrenheit" if you live in the US and "Celcius" if you live elsewhere

Born and living in the United States it has always been Fahrenheit for me.

US, Fahrenheit for me
