Description:
It is a small glass thermometer designed for clinical use in humans or animals. Designed with a narrowing small glass above the bulb so that the Mercury column stays in position when the instrument is removed from the body. It is carefully calibrated at the time of manufacturing. Now a days mercury thermometer not used because it can break, spilling mercury posing a risk of human or animal health. they can be inserted in the month, armpit, anus or even attached to the forehead depending on the design.
Clinical thermometers are made to be used in a hospital to accurately determine body temperature. They are often digital. Lab thermometers are made of metal or glass and usually don't give you an accurate reading as much as a "ball park." A clinical thermometer may have mercury but lab thermometers usually have alcohol .
Laboratory thermometers can measure wide variety of temperature, whereas a clinical thermometer has a range between 95 to 105 Fahrenheit. Clinical thermometers are made to be used in a hospital to accurately determinebody temperature. They are often digital. Lab thermometers are made of metal or glass and usually don't give you an accurate reading as much as a "ball park". Clinical thermometer may have mercury but lab thermometers usually have alcohol .
Because clinical thermometer have a very small range. (20 to 45 degrees Celsius at most) and if placed in boiling water, the water being 100 degrees will cause damage to the thermometer.
In a normal clinical thermometer, the mercury moves up and down the capillary tube as the temperature changes and thus if you removed it from contact with the patient the reading would steadily fall as it cooed. As you need a clinical thermometer to give you a reading of the patients temperature even after it has been removed from the patient, you need to stop the mercury shrinking back into the reservoir. The 'kink' breaks the connection between the mercury in the capillary tube and the reservoir so the reading given is accurate. On the other hand before it can be used again the mercury in the capillary tube has to be vigorously shaken back into the reservoir.On a point of interest, clinical thermometers are getting very rare because they have been phased out due to concerns regarding mercury poisoning should they break in use.
Because of where it is positoned. If you wanted to know the room temperature, but the thermometer was in a place where it is cold, it may not give the correct value.

In case of ordinary thermometer if the thermometer is taken out the body whose temperature has been seen, the Mercury would fall down as the bulb gets cooled. But in case of clinical thermometer even after the thermometer has been taken out of the mouth of the patient the level of mercury would be held at the same level though the bulb falls to the room temperature. So doctor could see the temperature liesurely. To bring back the mercury to lowest level we have to give jerks to the thermometer by shaking it.

Good sir, i think you might mean "Fountain Fee" or "Fountain Pea", Either way, you've got problems. Plum
