Take a look at the role history has played in medicine. Years ago, it was considered healthy to soak up the sun, eat red meat, eggs, and butter. During the 19th century, and beyond, leaches were used to suck blood from patients, and the night air was considered unhealthy. Fast forward to temperature taking. Rectal temps. were deemed the most accurate, and were the choice of many households and hospitals. I'm under the impression that it's rare today, and probably will cease to exist in 20 years, or less. I don't even know if the pediatric wards, once famous for rectal temps. from newborns to young adults, even uses them now. I would imagine that it's very uncommon.
