I'm glad you asked me about the difference between a clinical thermometer and a laboratory thermometer. They are both used to measure temperature, but they have some key differences.
Here are the main differences between clinical and laboratory thermometers:
Here's a fictional anecdote from my personal experience:
When I was in medical school, I was working in the emergency room one night when a patient came in with a fever. I took her temperature with a clinical thermometer and it was 40°C. I knew that this was a dangerously high fever, so I immediately started her on antibiotics. The next day, her fever had gone down and she was feeling much better.
This experience taught me the importance of using the right thermometer for the job. If I had used a laboratory thermometer, I might not have been able to detect the patient's fever as quickly, and she might have gotten worse.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Clinical Thermometer
-To measure the body temperature, a special thermometer, called
the clinical thermometer is used.
-This thermometer has to be given sharp jerk after measuring the
thermometer.
-In 1866 Sir Thomas_Clifford_Allbutt invented the clinical thermometer,
Laboratory thermometer
-This thermometer is generally used in laboratories for measuring temperature.
-This thermometer does not has to be given sharp jerk after measuring the
thermometer.

A clinical thermometer is used for the human body. An ordinary thermometer can be used for different things because it can measure different temperatures.
A clinical thermometer is used to measure a human body, and the laboratory thermometer is used to boil water and other lab uses.
Lab thermometer.
A clinical thermometer is used to measure the temperature inside your body. It need only measure between 95 and 105 Fahrenheit. A lab thermometer measure a much wider range of temperature.

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 .

no please there's mercury which will just poison you
A clinical thermometer can only measure human body temperatures since it can measure no less than 35 degrees celcius and no more than 42 degrees celcius. An ordinary thermometer can measure and object or substance at any temperature.

clinical is usedto measure body temprature
A clinical thermometer will offer more precise calibrated readings than a mercury thermometer. The range of measurable temperature differs between a clinical and a mercury thermometer with the mercury thermometer having the wider range.
It stays at the maximum point so you get an accurate reading
Alcohole is not used for any thermometer only murcury (Hg) is used
