So how many people missed that it was World Toilet Day yesterday? I know I did.
Came across this article on NPR, I know it sounds like a bad acid trip, but it's not. It's good information that can be used to....ah....strike up a conversation with a patient that.....ah....needs reassurance. Yea, that's it.
How many people knew there was a Bristol Stool Chart? NOOOO it's not furniture....
Read the article...you'll use the info at some point in your career.

Stay regular people,
Mike

Good shit indeed!
Thank you for reading the book, glad you enjoyed it! Did I really? ah...I didn't mean to...it just kinda...happened. Shocked the shit outta me...I think it was #4 #5 and #7 on the Bostic stool chart.
I don't know why, but incontinence seems to be a reoccuring reaction for my readers...I could think of worse tho.
I wouldn't be offended if you wrote a review on the site you got it publicly announcing your little accident after reading it...
Thanks again,
Mike

I'm pretty sure that I just deposited a new republican PAC this morning after two days of excess and bloat.

Found it on Cafe Press after I read this at the end of the original article "Apparently, there's a layman market for the chart as well: You can buy Bristol stool chart mugs and business card cases should you want to refer to it on a regular basis.".
