It's a debated issue whether people should bring their possible products of conception to the hospital with them. Most of our providers find it weird, but I know some OB types encourage this type of thing.
But. I think we can all agree that if you're going to bring your possible products of conception, you should bring them in something besides a Cheeto bag? Right? Or at least rinse it out first? Okay? Okay, good.
OMFG!!!! a Cheeto bag? Seriously, find a cup if you can't get a ziploc. My OB told me to bring mine in with me, I was 12 weeks, so it was pretty obvious it wasn't a "possible" product. I put it in a ziploc, we raced in, I was hemorrhaging (sp?) (left a blood trail on the way in) so I was swished back to have a D&C, and obviously lost the twin in the process. My husband at the time, now my ex-husband, just kind of dropped the baggie on the counter at the check-in desk. Freaked out a bunch of people. Hmmm, so I don't know, at least a Cheeto bag isn't see-through, people waiting around won't know if it's food or a fetus, KWIM?
Classy! Even a rinsed out butter container would have been better... Ziploc bags and jars with screw on lids are much better options, but the cheetos bags gives us pathology folks something interesting to liven up our day.
You have NO IDEA how many pathology report jokes were made. Specimen appears to endometrial lining with a zesty cheese dust. Sample is insufficient to determine how zesty.
OMG! Seriously? That's totally yucky.
ReplyDeleteIt's only gross if they're still eating cheetos out of it. Otherwise, totally okay. Totally.

ReplyDeleteLove it! Why is it that every ghetto person has to involve Cheetos or chips in their ER visit in some way or another?

It aint easy being cheesy....or so they say :)
ReplyDeleteI saw one a while that was wearing a garbage bag as underwear with about a 15 week product of conception in the bag. Still attached to placenta.
