Oh My Gosh! That's the perfect title for this chapter. What a lot of squeamishness has to be overcome to do this job! I'm glad that the students were so willing and relieved they didn't have to refrigerate the specimens!
Suggestions:
Do anyone know how much you should drink, (Does) unless it's different in Canadian English. It could be changed to "Do any of you"
Some tech decide (techs)

Thank you so much, Helene for reviewing and your great comments. Canada is slightly different, specific areas use 'do' and others use 'does'. I just grew up in between, lol. Just like specific phrases in certain areas here. I had no idea what a 'hiney' was other than it was a body part, a kind nurse explained it to me, lol.

That's funny! I thought "hiney" was more an American word. They use it for that silly toilet paper ad with the bears.

Of course it is, from North Carolina and I had no clue what a 'hiney' was. Way back when I first moved here they didn't have those darn commercials, lol.

Thank you for sharing another informative and interesting post. It must be a challenge to teach new students. This is a good way for them to learn by submitting their own samples and analyzing them. Clearly written. Marilyn

Comment from Pantygynt
Urine bottles are one thing but stools is altogether more complex and, dare I say it, personal. I have been part of a bowel cancer screening programme for some years now and I can't say I enjoy the process of providing three smear samples of stool over three consecutive days every year. There is a natural revulsion so I can understand the class' reaction.
I guess this is something one could only do with a class who have learnt to trust the teacher. Can you imagine having to understudy a strange class in this activity, without any prior knowledge of them or they of you? This lot could well revert to type if the circumstances were not to their liking.
I think something has been omitted here:
"Each student came for with their urine specimen..." Did you mean came forth or perhaps forward?

Thank you so much for reviewing. I agree it is not one's most favorite thing. I mean it is one thing to change a baby's messy diaper but definitely different when collecting or testing stool, although I must say from the nursing side - colostomy bags are not a thrill either. I will correct that error in a few minutes.

I have no clue who you are, but either your did loads of research or you are in some medical profession. I can understand the urine samples. What the stools are going to prove, I really don't know. Well written. No changes needed.

Thank you for reading and reviewing, I do so thank you for your kind comments. I am retired from the medical field so I have an abundance of information. These poor lab techs will end up testing everything pertaining to the human body.
