    So a patient brought in a "kidney stone"

    A patient had severe flank pain over the weekend. was seen in the ER(ERCougar was the ER doc) where they thought he had a kidney stone and sent him home with a urine strainer. He passed his "stone" and felt much better so he brought it today so it could have chemical composition analysis.

    Only problem was that it wiggled and had a tail. Further studies are needed but probably some sort of liver fluke
    "The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

    "They talk about the economy this year. Hey, my hairline is in recession, my waistline is in inflation. Altogether, I'm in a depression."

    "I like to bike. I could beat Lance Armstrong, only because he couldn't pass me if he was behind me."

            Not gonna lie: I look forward to the medical threads on the board, just to see how long it will take doctorcoug to swoop in and tell the trained professionals what they should do.

                Ok Slim, I ran down to the lab and got a pic with my cell phone. I will upload it when I get home. It doesn't look like much on my phone so I hope more detail can be seen when it is on the computer monitor.

                          I appreciate this and look forward to the update! I'm stuck at a dingy motel room in Prescott with nothing to do (well I guess I could study...) until I start my night shift at the ER so I'm kind of bored.

                            Apparently. Even still, I stand by my statement.

                              No way! I think I know who you're talking about. Hydro on the CT but couldn't see a stone. He was feeling better when he left so I told him he probably either just passed it or it was a radiolucent stone.

                              Or a worm.

                              That's freakin cool.

                              EDIT: I'm pretty sure this is the guy who was also convinced that his drinking binge over the last few weeks had given him cancer. Maybe it's a cancer worm.
