36+3 weeks pregnant and given this (3rd time) to collect urine sample. I don't know who came up with this idea to slim down the container but having a big bump I can't even see myself down there how am I meant to collect urine in there? Thank god my midwife had a normal container for me to use today but next time we are back to this little narrow container 😓 Please bring back the normal container to take samples making people lives much easier!

Oh bless you Lisa ! That is simply not fit for purpose ! I imagine this would be difficult to use for many people - those with limited mobility, sight/co ordination issues etc. We still have the traditional round pots with yellow lids in my area - is this design to become mainstream ? ( 'scuse the pun ! ) Whatever were they thinking ? ! Angela x
It's amazing isn't it. Not just urine sample containers. 'Fit for purpose', top parameter in the design list has been relegated or removed from educational curriculum's.
Hello does your surgery/midwife not give you a cup to do the sample into? These containers have shrunk to enable them to be used in new state of the art equipment.
I agree it is positively dangerous especially for the person examining . I thought there was an infection problem in hospitals?
Until recently for 50 yrs I was given a foil container and 2 wipes every 3 weeks then they refused to transfer my monitoring appt with a Professor when moved.As it concerned rotating antibiotics.This has been of grave concern as sepsis reared its head re spinal spasms of spasticity .NB News last week .
Now GPs do this - the above ??! When pointed out they ignored the problem .I Complain every time. What is the medical training for Nurses and Doctors .Surely this is lesson 1? Daughter of a pharmacist ?
PS.
By the way the Nurses dip on remits rather than extend cultures . They tried to shut the Prof down as antibiotics were concerned but his patients and students have got him open again legally.Thank the ….. !?
Nip down to your nearext cheap jack shop and buy a small plastic jug. It is almost certainly going to come in useful in the future !. we have one we keep ,clean of course in our bathroom cupboard...
