I have been working in the laboratory profession for over 45 years. But back when I first started, my RN friend brought me a urine sample and it was not labeled.
I stopped him and said that his sample was no good. No patient name or any other identifier whatsoever. He asked, “What you want me to do?”
I replied, “You can throw this in the trash.”
He took the lid off and started drinking it. I let out a squeal ,and he fell on the floor laughing. Never looked or liked apple juice ever again.
