Exciting!

I doubt many will agree, but finding Trichuris trichuria in a patient sample, as in an actual faeces sample from a patient rather than a quality control sample or some teaching sample, is pretty exciting. The guy I was with today said that in 5 years of working there, it was his first parasite seen in a patient sample. Parasitology makes me laugh at work, in the way that it's always a group activity. If we get a QC sample, it gets looked at by everyone. This positive this morning, and everyone wants a look.

Makes the day more interesting anyway.
