Dear USPS employees:

I am sorry for the envelope you are probably going to have to handle today. I would not have inflicted it on you if my doctor hadn't asked me to do it. And for what it's worth I handed the envelope to a lab tech at my doctor's medical practice, so there is a chance that it's going to be transported by biomedical couriers who deal with worse every day.

Regardless, you have my apologies if it does wind up in the mail, and my respect for all the other FIT samples you handle every day now that it's possible to send off a home test for early colon cancer screening. They don't pay you guys enough for that.

Edit: well, I got an email with test results last night before I went to bed, so it didn't go through the postal service after all. The NP who ordered the test will be contacting me to talk about my results once all the results from the tests she ordered are in, so we can deal with them all at once.

But the postal employees at least didn't have to handle an FIT sample, so there's that.
