I had a fever earlier this week and when I went to get it checked out the nurse took my temperature in my butt! I don't think I've ever had it that way but she said it was the most accurate. It didn't really hurt but when she put it in I felt like I had to go poo really badly. And when she removed it right away she grabbed a wipe and wiped my butt once. Why do you think she wiped it?? I was too embarrassed to ask
