All righto, ya gotta 'no wat da clinic n' da Mercury thermometer is da...
Foistly, clinic thermometer is da thermometer used to measure body temperature. Often the liquid inside it is mercury, but sometimes it is alcohol. It is very accurate because it has a narrow place where the liquid rises very fast.
Den da mercury thermometer consists of mercury. Basically, it has..... yea blah blah blah, just look it up in ya dictionary.
Anyways, da thing is there must be a problem with da questieon. Mercury thermometer has a almost accurate point but clinical thermometers have a very accurate things becausse it has a narrow place where the liquid rises very fast.

What is the difference between clinical thermometer and laboratory thermometer?
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 .

What is the best thermometer to use on people?
An aural (in ear) thermometer is a good modern device, and measures the temperature in the outer ear.

Mercury clinical thermometers are however quite cheap.
What is the similarity between a clinical and laboratory thermometer?
both of them contain mercury and both are used to check temperature.
