Hello friends... I see that we are all humbly learning. I pray none of you have ulcerative colitis or Crohn's Disease. God bless
You might want to look into possible parasites, or do a parasite cleanse.
I do, but I’m living :)
And if you do, I hope you find Dr Dinezza (gut microbiome queen) here on UA-cam, as her information and instruction is life changing.
Thank you.
Here bc Quest Diagnostic didn't explain it to me properly :/
same
Properly? They don't explain it at all. I think they're afraid of them.
Just came from labcorp and they gave me a bag with three vials with absolutely no verbal OR written instructions. This video helped so much.
Wait so your telling me we don't shit in the cup? Oh my lord
😂😂
they gave me a sample to do today and I thought that we shit directly into it thankGOD I didn't do it before watching this
Ha ha ha ha
I am a caregiver and this video helped out so much thank you
Okay now this was professional. Thank you.
So what should i do with the stool that were still in the bag?
Keep it in the fridge
Oh shoot, I wasn’t supposed to drink from the sample vial? My bad! XD
LOL
My cup doesn’t have one of those little spoon things wth 😭
I have taken three stool samples already it and say to do the only thing I did wrong was put crap pass the fill line oh my bad 🙄
The physician orders a stool specimen to be examined for ova and parasites. What is the proper procedure for collection of this specimen by the nurse?
(a) Refrigerate the specimen until it can be delivered to the lab
(b) Send the entire stool immediately to the lab
(c) Take feces from several areas of the bowel movement
(d) Use a sterile container
Could anyone answer this for me? Pls?
I was sent here by my teacher
what happens to that cup like thing we put under the bowl? eww do we empty and flush or throw it in trash omg disaster
thats the answer i really need😅
That's a sincere question. How do you poop in the thing without making a mess.
I know this is late but put a napkin or paper towel in the bottom first then dump it.
This whole thing is so disgusting
Quest Diagnostic staff told me to put my hand in the toilet bowl and collect specimen that way.I told them where they could put theres.
Quest diagnostics gave me some 2 vials and asked me collect with no instructions. I asked for a scoop and they provided. Not sure how much to collect though as the vials have no marker
@@austin426512 Same, no instructions, no paper. I asked, Do I return it here? No, we don't do stool samples here. --- What??
@@sl4983 they told me to freeze it and get back the samples.thankfully it all went well. Call the other centers and check if they take the stool samples.
I agree quest gave a paper bad with the stool hat,and collection cup but no scoop to collect the feces.. I asked does this come with a video? How do u use this thing?
She told also put it in the freezer if you are dropping off the collection after ward
@@austin426512,Quest gave me four tubes 2 clear with no liquid & two with a orange lid & one with black lid both has liquid & fill line they told me two put it in the freezer but I can't remember which one i called Quest they're closed today don't know what to do.would you tell me what lid colors were yours for the freezer?
1 may 2024 10 am edt ( utc-4 ) : so 2:15 show repetition of process of using that spoon to insert feces to vial until feces-amount appear on fill-line ( maximum-feces-amount-line ) ? but 1:34 does not show repetition only show 1 feces insertion to vial .
1 may 2024 10:29 am edt ( utc - 4 ) : maximum-feces-amount-line should have been maximum-feces-amount-plus-preservative-liquid-line-amount
1 may 2024 9:31 am edt ( utc - 4 ) : sorry , 2:15 show different vial which is empty does not contain preservative-liquid
11 may 2024 8:54 am est ( utc - 4 ) :
feces-exam is not accurate method to check parasite-existence .
i submit feces-inspection and receive this report :
ova + parasite exam
final report
No ova, cysts, or parasites seen .
1 negative specimen does not rule out the possibility of a parasitic-infection.
so in addition to not being accurate , feces-collection-for-feces-inspection 1:23 is disgusting , i don't want to do feces-inspection .
Thank you!
Well, Only if a white plastic stool sample collection hat is required.
Not the R&B jazz 😭😭
Mine does have a fill line or liquid in it
Same for me from Quest diagnostics. I felt embarrassed to ask the lady, thought to check in UA-cam. How much did you fill?
@@austin426512 haha it was like 3/4 full if im remembering correctly.also make sure to put the date you collect it.i was told not to hand it in on a friday because by the time theyd send it to the labs itd be too old, hope everything comes back clear for you
@@annansubuga8307 thanks! Mine is a big vial with 3-4 cm diameter. 3/4 would lot of $hit.. I had to ask her and get a scoop. She asked me to freeze it for few hours before dropping. This will go in my freezer with other food items ! Yuck!! I will hand over this Monday.
What's the chemical inside the vial?
There are usually several different types of fixatives and preservatives - often formalin, PVA(Zn), or a universal fixative such as PROTO-FIX.
formaldehyde?
I was absolutely delighted with the immediate healing I got through Dr Mados on UA-cam. Keeping saving lives doctor..
Oh God no. Gross !
Wish I saw this before I drank the liquid in vial 🧪 🤦♂️
