Is this an at-home kit? I had to do one once. The doctor sent me home with a kit that had a piece of wax paper with three little circles, and I was supposed to put a dab of shit on each one. The kit also came with a latex glove (only one) and an honest to God ice cream tasting spoon. I mean, seriously, one of those little wood things they used to use before they decided a pink plastic spoon was a better way to go. I'm pretty sure I could see the words "Haagen Dazs" scratched out on it. Apparently, the old ice cream tasting spoons were sold to hospitals to end up in the shittiest, pun most certainly intended, home stool sample kit money can buy. One glove and an ice cream spoon? WTF am I supposed to do with this? And then, I was supposed to collect this paper strip of feces and put it in the mail. In the fucking mail. Are you kidding me? The mail is filthy enough as it is, and not just because doctors apparently think it's a good idea to ask their patients to ship their own shit in envelopes. I mean, that test is going to make me look like i have SARS or something, or at the very least make me look mentally retarded, because who ships their shit in the mail? Everyone knows you use Fed-Ex...
Yeah, I just threw that test out and didn't bother with it. The doctor's office called me back and asked why I hadn't gotten it to them yet. I told them it was lost in the mail. The lady told me "that happens." Really? Gross.
I don't go to that doctor any more.
