Get rid of those old glass thermometersEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
by Lois Lee, MD, MPH, Injury Prevention Program Working in a busy urban emergency department, I often see children with injuries that could have been prevented. One infrequent but real hazard is glass mercury thermometers. Aside from the mercury, we’ve seen children injured by breakage of the glass — either while their temperature is being taken or when the child (or a sibling) is playing with them.
