Yup. Right as always, HRMG. Spoke wiith Mom today (GO GREEN) and she confirmed what you said. Even laughed and gave me more of the way people sent in "specimens" over her 40+ career. She LOVED the way you abbreviated "C. diff" and told me more about your test than I could understand. I still say send poop in a Tupperware container! LOL!!! Obviously, she agreed with you.
Your hubby can't make it to Sterling Hights? Lemme know. I'd be g;lad to pay for his tix! Buy him a backstage pass or something!

Collected my continuing education credits and moved along, LOL! Actually, the C. diff one was pretty interesting. I stayed awake for it since I had just started to validate our C. diff PCR test. That's where I found out it is no longer just caused by antibiotic use, that it can be transmitted from person to person and healthy people have contracted it. They also talked about the new treatment - fecal transplants. All I could think was, THANK GOD I'm not the one that has to filter the poop! Definitely NOT the job that I ever want to do!!

Came in on this conversation a little late, but what the hell.
NO to the God Damn Tupperware container and NO YOU MAY NOT HAVE IT BACK WHEN I AM DONE WITH IT!!! A CLEAN, laboratory provided specimen container PLEASE!! FFS, I once got a turd in a velvet ring box!! I guess we know what she thought of the ring!
Usually, the patient with an extreme case of Clostridium difficile will find their own donor, but I suppose if we are talking about research cases, then perhaps. The new treatment when all else fails, is to do a fecal transplant so that the donor stools bacteria will take over and the C. difficile will be crowded out. Ask your mom, they had a presentation on it a couple years ago at the ASCLS-Michigan meeting that I went to. Quite a NASTY little bug it is!!

Mis-handled the greatest band in the world, IMO. I know I speak for many. (ps ed. The band has remained strong despite of it!!!).
