it's not even that far off! An oral of 100.1 is a rectal of 101.1 So if half an hour or so later the doc got 102-then as the above reply states, the temp may just have been spiking. It has to go up sometime-the doc just hit it right. At any rate-if the N.A. has been qualified by the hospital to do vs, then the hospital should be backing up its employees-not caving to a big shot.
