This one really takes the cake for strange calls. Courtesy of an attending:
Clinician: Hi, I have sort of a strange request.
Lab resident: Okay.
Clinician: Can you run a creatinine on a popsicle?
Lab resident: What?
Clinician: Can you run a creatinine on a popsicle?
Lab resident: Uhhhh...
Clinician: I know this sounds really weird, but we have this patient who thinks that the neighbor is trying to poison her kids by feeding them urine popsicles. We thought if we could run the test on the popsicle, we could prove that it is not urine.
Lab resident: Sorry, no, we aren't doing that.
