When I worked on the OB/GYN unit, I once had a patient who had had a
hysterectomy request that she be given her uterus to take home with her!
(This patient was immediately assigned to me, since it sounded to the other
nurses like the kind of "granola" thing that I handled, BTW). The only
problem was that it was on New Year's Day, and the lab was minimally
staffed, and I had the devil of a time actually retrieving the thing for
her, and the place was in an unimaginable uproar over what kind of a
container it should be put in, and what kind of "precautions" needed to be
in place for "handling" it, and so on and on...Just one of the reasons I
will no longer work in a hospital!!

Just call me Granola Cathy!
