> But when at the doctor nurses will always mention something like 37.2 as not indicating sickness.
Note though that they may not be wrong, even if you're sick and you know it from that temperature alone: 'indicating' is a term of art.
More than just 'based on this it does/doesn't seem to be the case that' it means that a specific (guideline-given, perhaps regulated) set of criteria have or haven't been met that tell them whether a certain procedure or whatever should be ordered.
It doesn't mean they can't also listen to what you're saying, and proceed as though it was indicated , making a judgement on that basis.
