Older patient rectal temp

I just recently found a pretty good RT video on YouTube. It's an instructional video on temp taking and the rectal part features a lovely nurse taking the temp of an older man with a digital probe thermometer. Hope you all enjoy! The scene starts at 2:30

Good find!!!

I would love to be in his predicament. Nice how he flinches subtlety when the lovely nurse inserts the thermometer into him.

Here is another but this time the rectal thermometer is slid into a mature lady. I rather like watching her getting her rectal temp taken.

She could give me RT's and enemas!!! 😜 Ummmmmmmmmmm......... 😉

Nice finds. Thanks @Mlem43 and @MarcNY for posting those. For me, RTs seem so much more erotic when they’re done for real in a clinical setting. Would love to see one of those nurses demonstrate using a Geratherm glass thermometer!

Very nice video and thanks for sharing

Thanks so much for this. I would like to be the patient myself andf have that lovely woman take my RT and then I would take hers.

There are still certain situations when a nurse will take an “older” adult’s temperature rectally. What is lacking in these videos is both patients appear to be healthy enough when a probe in the butt seems unnecessary. I guess they didn’t want the patients to look too ill on camera. Even one line in the script could refer to a patient’s condition that warrants a rectal reading.

I was 48, if that classifies me as an "older" adult, lying on an exam table at an urgent care with a terrible headache and throwing up into a plastic bucket. My husband and I were on vacation and staying in a small town in Minnesota. This was about 12 years ago. A young nurse said she was going to insert a rectal probe into me. It would take just a few seconds, and she apologized. Afterwards, she said my temperature was slightly above normal.

All I wanted was to have them give me a shot to dull the headache and stop the vomiting, which another nurse administered in my hip. Not fun, it hurt. I guess that scene would have made a better real life video!!

Another question I have about the woman’s temp in the video. The nurse announced it was 98.6, which I find uncommon for a rectal reading that’s typically 1° above oral.

In either video, I would be an obedient little boy for those nurses.
