Had one lady bring in 3 consecutive stool samples (luckily she placed them in a bag) and said that her doc had told her to bring them while they were still warm – the oldest two she had placed in her oven on the lowest temp.
Soon after she left, and before we were able to take them over to micro, we heard a loud boom.
Yep, the samples had created a lot of gas and exploded!
