Not always. All I can say is that at the "free" youth clinic where I did volunteer work from the late 60's and into the 70's temperatures were taken no matter what the reason for the visit. That being said, all patients up to five years old and some patient over the age of five years old continued to get temperatures taken rectally with a glass rectal thermometer. For the older ones it was an arbitrary decision whether or not the patient would "adapt" well to having a glass thermometer placed in the mouth. One thing for sure, for such a patient to "adapt" to having a glass rectal thermometer being mounted in his rear end did not come easy especially in the austere environment around him.
