As most of you know who have read some of my past postings know that I worked in the City ER before I had Gavin. I remember the day they walked in these new thermometers by Exergen Corporation and sat us down to watch a video on them. I remember thinking this was the craziest thermometer! It was called the Temporal Scanner Thermometer by Exergen. How would it ever be able to take an accurate temperature on anyone with just a slide from temple to temple and then a pop behind the ear?!?!

Then we actually got to use them and what a blessing it was to have. No more fighting with the old lady who didn’t want me sticking anything near her or having to stand around the crazy man for 3 minutes. I didn’t even have to wake the sick baby who had just spent the last three hours screaming but finally fell asleep on Mom’s shoulder as she tried her best to comfort him.

Being that annoying person that came around every 2-3 hours disappeared. Of course then I had plenty of other reasons to still bother them but at least this was no longer one of them. Plus, being able to cut 2-3 minutes out of every patient sure helped a lot too!

So, when I found out that the same makers of that same thermometers I used in my ER was available to me as a mom I was all about getting one! No more will I need to wake my sick baby in the middle of the night if its not necessary. No more will I be stumbling around trying to get an accurate temperature because 3x in a row I got completely different results.

Are you in need of a quick easy accurate thermometer?
Do you have small children or sick elderly that you take care of?
Do you just want something simple to use that doesn’t encourage the passage of germs
(you know we have all found our 8 year olds taking their temps trying to stay home from school and then instead of cleaning it just threw in back where it goes)
