Next they’ll tell me that an envelope isn’t a suitable vessel for my samples. This country, honestly.
People are just taking the piss nowadays
There was a suggestion box in my GP at one point.
Above it was a sign please asking people to hand urine samples in at the reception desk, and not post them in the suggestion box.
Is eye contact acceptable? My GP used to insist on it, especially during home visits.
Am I reading correctly that unrequested stool samples are still fine?
If you can’t hand an unrequested jar of piss into your GP, what’s next?
Political correctness gone mad
Are people really just sending bottles of piss to your GP without them asking for it?
This is comedy gold.
This is how my town ends up on casualuk, this is brilliant.
The first GP to not take the piss
My friend’s wife is a GP and told me about a man who brought a stool sample in Tupperware to a routine appointment without being asked to.
I think she should leave the job(by)
Could be worse – at least they aren’t stool samples 💩
Having been to worthing hospital many times, this was DEFINITELY needed… The amount of old people I’ve seen with little jars of piss, when they’re waiting for a blood test, then trying to give them to the phlebotomy tech is laughable 🤣
I used to do a lesion clinic at the hospital in dermatology where the letter asked for a urine sample. I never knew why and never wanted to test them.
Hang on a minute. People are giving in urine samples without being asked for it?
There is a sign up in my gp surgery saying pretty much the same thing.
Not sure why someone would just hand over a panda pops bottle of piss.
Hello receptionist, happy Monday, here’s a bottle of piss.
[walking gingerly to the reception desk, my urine cupped gently in my open palms]
“What?”
Maybe all this time they’ve been taking forever answering the phones at my GP it’s because they’re having to wade through rivers of unsolicited urine
If I can’t share my piss with the people I’ll just keep storing it in the freezer like a regular person.
I have a feeling this is an organisational ballsup – the standard letters that go out for annual checkups of blood pressure & other ongoing conditions frequently have ‘bring a urine sample to your appointment’ written on them. Possibly the text of these letters is handled by a central NHS department and local GPs are unaware that ‘they’ are asking people to bring piss bottles.
So they’re not taking the piss?
Next they’ll be saying it has to be our own.
They’re not taking the piss 🙂
“Stop taking the piss?”.
Who’s dropping urine samples willy-nilly?!
I had to go into hospital for an operation and in the pre-meeting when they did some tests, explained what was going to happen etc they handed me a leaflet explaining to me how to have a shower before I came for the operation itself. Like WTF? There are enough people who turn up in an absolutely minging state that it was worth printing a leaflet for it?
Working in south wales the local accent caused endless confusion between a hearing test and a urine test. Imagine the confusion
What about semen samples? When I heard you could be a sperm donor by post, I came in a Jiffy.
After our baby had a UTI, our GP gave us a sample pot just in case we suspected another UTI – he said to just bring it in without calling and they can test it on the spot. It’s likely that this text is telling people that due to high demand, this service isn’t available at the moment.
Why on earth was that message sent by the “Digital Transformation Lead” (i.e. someone in an IT role) rather than the reception team or the chief medical practitioner?!
I frequently have to give urine samples and even so the comments here are WILD. Like..who brings a sample in something other than an actual sample bottle with their name on it? And who are these people who don’t tell the receptionist exactly who they are, and why they are providing the sample?
Where did all the common sense go? Has there been an uptick in psychic activity I’m unaware of which makes people assume that the receptionists will automatically know what their unlabelled piss is for?
Hello. This is a friendly suggestion to use opaque tools such as the pen when censoring parts of images. It is trivial to de-censor all of this image with some image sliders on iOS. You should probably delete this post.
