Ebara Jitsugyo Co (EJK) out of Japan will be releasing this contactless thermometer. The worst part of getting sick as a child was getting my temperature taken—maybe my family was too Midwestern, but they stuck that thing where the sun doesn t shine. Boy, was it embarrassing when they took my temperature during my sixteenth birthday party because I had the croup!

Anyway, scarring aside, this will be a great addition to any pediatric department. Nothing can corrupt a childhood more than being anally probed by strange men in lab coats, so now the children of today won't have to worry about that.
