Thermometer dilemma


As a young emergency department doctor, i often had medical students asking me for advice. One day a couple of them, suspecting they had flu,, asked to have their temperatures taken.
I grabbed a pair of thermometers from two jars of disinfectant on the shelf. The students popped them in their mouths and were relieved to find that their temperatures were perfectly normal.
Unfortunately, when I replaced the thermometers, i notice that one jar was labelled "oral" and the other was labelled "rectal"!!
