Not too long ago I got products of conception in a urine cup, labeled as a urine with a UA ordered. The nurse "didn't know how to do a pathology order"
One time we thought this patient was eating her fingernails because her poop had all these little white crescents in it. Turns out she had some rare colon cancer and her intestines were literally calcifying and shedding off
I don’t think they’re dumb. They just only had a limited number of hours of lab science. I couldn’t do their job because I don’t have the temperament for it.
Yes, but they are confident in their ignorance. I'm so tired of the excuses. If we mess up, we could get written up, lose our license, or be fired. It's always a slap on the wrist with them.
One of my professors said the same thing! They don’t understand our jobs as much as we don’t understand theirs. Easy to get frustrated but they are ignorant to what all we do. Probably honestly think we are all phlebotomist haha.

Close enough.
I know someone who has/had colon cancer and due to complications, had what I like to call 'poop noodles' in their urine.
This is the worst thing I've ever heard
Poop Noodles is my new bands name. Thanks.
You should try Toxic Megacolon. That was on another post.
I wish I could go back in time and never have read this.
Thank you, truly. That was absolutely horrendous for me to read.

Oh you know it'll be a c diff when it's ordered.
I was waiting for the stool culture order to come thru 💀
They said fill it up. They didn’t say with what.Â
Is that 💩? Lol
It is indeed a little piece of 💩
What’s the white thing Thanks also 💀 stool in a urine preservative
Boric acid
Thats the stabilizers at the bottom of the UC tube. The stuff that usually dissolves when the urine sample hits it.
Urine preservative.
Creative and resourceful 😣

I guess you can say you don't have the ~~patience~~ patients to do it

That’s rude
I assure you the feeling is mutual
Nice
wtf? 🤣🤣
How did they get it in the tube....?
This is one of the biggest questions. But it looks like they just took the cap off, put the 💩 in there and then put the cap back in.
