I am specifically focused on having one's temp taken in a medical setting so that the conversation is respectful while you are having your temp recorded. What is that experience like for you? Have you changed how you feel over time and capability to engage in a conversation while your temp registers? For me, it's a very sensitive time and not associated with a strong desire to be spontaneous. While I will answer her questions, its likely to be a brief response interspersed with my cheeks clenching as the thermometer is positioned.
