I was just getting ready to make sure you hadn’t opened any Dr. Charles Franchise Locations near Marlinspike Hall when I made it to “just kidding.”

Whew.
Don’t mess with the few perquisites of adulthood, Doc.

P. S. So what gives with ear thermometers? That’s what is in use at my internist’s office these days… Where does “normal” fall in ear measurement terms?

P.S.S. Please post more often?

I have to order “real temps” or I get the psuedotemps.

(At one time I had the same struggle over tympanic thermometers).
