Yep reminds me of a funny incident that happened to me a few years ago.
An older lady was told by her doctor to collect and bring in three consecutive days stool specimens - as one does for bowel cancer screening.
She came to the window of the nurses station and announced that she had done this and I politely said she could leave it with me and it would go to the lab the next day.
She fished around inside an old plastic carrier bag and brought out a 2 LITRE ice cream container packed to the brim with errrr her three days of stool.
I had to really restrain myself from laughing out loud at her naivety and the look on her face was just dead pan serious.LOL!! The doctor for a change thought this hilarious too!!
PS On a more serious not for those not in the know there are special small pots with scoops on the underside of the lid for collecting said specimens on three consecutive days and should be done by everyone over 40 -4 years old or if there is a history of familial bowel or any cancer.
