How about a lactic acid in a grey on ice - a grey urine culture boric acid tube that is! Took me a second to even grasp what had happened, “why is that a solid clot?”

You know how GC swabs are color coded, pink for female (swab is quite large) and blue for male (swab is very small).... I received a pink swab on a male patient from the ER >.<
