Yesterday I made a mad dash to the laboratory to get some tests done for a volunteer (who will remain nameless). We waited for the "sample" to become available. It happened around 11:30. So we jumped in the car and went flying to the lab. Here, they won't take a "sample" if it has been more than 1 hour since it was produced. So, since we live 45 minutes away, there is a very small window for delivery.
We arrived at 12:25 - five minutes to spare on the time limit and 5 minutes to spare before the lab closes for lunch. But, we had been given incorrect information - we were told to put both "samples" in one cup - NOT TRUE! The volunteer had to produce another sample, nice and yellow, but the other was not happening. So, we had to go eat a nice greasy lunch of fried chicken and french fries to help the second sample along. Finally, at 3:00 we were back at the lab, waiting on it to re-open.
After all that, the tests were inconclusive. .
Just a little bit of true, everyday Life in Bolivia humor, as gross as it may be. .
