Why doesn't the mercury on a medical thermometer go down when it's removed from the body?

The mercury on a medical thermometer does not go down when removed from the body because the mercury expands to a certain level when it comes in contact with body heat, and even after it's removed, it does not contract back immediately. The thermometer needs to be shaken or reset for the mercury to go back down to its starting point.
