Wait till they add the prostate exam to checking vital signs

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

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

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
