It seems like everyone I know has been sick since the beginning of the year. My little granddaughter had the flu last week so she missed out on all the Easter egg hunts. My daughter had a nagging cough for several weeks, and it turns out she had pneumonia. And my husband, Fabgrandpa, had surgery on April 2 for an ulcerated plaque in his carotid artery.
One thing we didn’t have to worry about throughout all this sickness is whether or not someone had a temperature. With the Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer, all it takes is a gentle swipe of the forehead to get an accurate temperature. If the little ones are sleeping, they don’t need to be awakened to take their temperature.
Exergen sent me one of the TAT 2000C Home Model Temporal Artery Scanners. It is fast, accurate, and non-invasive, and makes it so easy to take someone’s temp. Even if Fabgrandpa is playing his PC game and killing the bad guys, I can just step over, scan his forehead, and get an accurate reading, all while he never misses a step in the game.

April 13, 2015 at 11:11 amMy favorite feature is that you don’t need to wake the patient to check the temperature. I wish they’d use this in hospitals, they wake you at 4 am to take your temp!

April 13, 2015 at 8:06 pmWe have this too and love it. I had to tape the battery lid though because it keeps popping off. Does yours do that too? Otherwise this has been a life saver!

Patty Leonard Woodland says
April 13, 2015 at 9:39 pmThat’s got to be great with the little ones ’cause it’s so hard to get them to sit with a thermometer in their mouths. Or am I seriously outdated?

Marty C. says
April 17, 2015 at 12:59 pmI like that I don’t have to try and hold a wriggling baby still with one hand and hold a thermometer in her, um, booty with the other. It’s a process that neither of us enjoys.
HilLesha says

Laurie Nykaza says
