Wait till they add the prostate exam to checking vital signs

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Shard@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Close. It's known as rectal temperature

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

The net result is similar, though

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

Speak for yourself ;p

Not really a prostrate exam but one of the first things trauma docs do is cut the pants off and put a finger up the bum to test spinal function
