It was around 3.30pm when I was actually looking out of the labs and wondering how come peers from other labs could actually leave already. Apparently, this year, we don't need to prepare any more reports like what we did for histology last year. Hurrah! So I guess what we need to do every week in labs would be just to fool around with all the practicals and leave the wastes laying around waiting for the lab attendants to clean up the mess. LOL. So today, basically what we needed to do was to examine stools under light microscope. There were of course some speciments provided for common viewing in case we couldn't find the cysts of the protozoas we needed to look for.
When our tutor came into our labs, the little bottle of stool is already provided and left untouched on the table. No one dared to even touch the lid. Prof ? (for the fact that I don't know her name) was explaining about how we could prepare the wet speciments so that in the future, we would know what the labs were actually doing when we assigned stool examination. LOL. She opened the little bottle twice and close it back up before finally used the stick and poked some stool. They were smeared onto slides and from there on, we were to search for some cysts. If it haden't been my phone running low of battery, I might have snapped more stools for you.
Honestly, it wasn't that foul-smelling. Provided you don't purposely go and sniff directly out from the bottle. But amazingly enough, I did somehow managed to get hold onto one pretty Entameba coli with the help of Prof ?.
3 Jujus:
I found human crabs on the inflamated tail of a german shephard dog. I told my professor who called the police. Seems the owner was having a private "glory" session with his own dog.
Careful what you may find in ecto and endo parasites.
It is disgusting but I guess it's for the studies.
that dog is disgusting... LOL
legolas, at least we're not parasitologist we don't have to mend with those stool every day. LOL
