Core body temperature is a vital sign. Guess the most clinically accurate way to measure that one.

Not by prostate exam, that's for sure.

Close. It's known as rectal temperature

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, I know. It's not a prostate exam.

The net result of a prostate exam is that you get a boner. Temp measuring is just sticking an item in your butthole. Two different diagnostic things
