Yellow Urine in healthy non medicated male

Speaking of Korea, MASH had an episode where the docs wanted to take an officer out of action because he lost a of men by being dumb. They gave him a drug that made his urine blue . Don’t recall the drug name.

@Nametag

I recall the episode where they took out another unit’s “ringer” in a bowling match that way - the dye/drug was methylene blue. I’m not sure that was what they did in the other episode, which sounds like “The General Flipped at Dawn.”

IIRC, with the incompetent general, they deliberately misdiagnosed him with appendicitis, then operated to remove the actually healthy organ, which took him out of action long enough that he couldn’t order his men into some suicidal battle.

I assume it was because I clicked this link, back when you posted it, that Amazon today sent me a “We found something you might like” email offering me a two-pack of Urine Color Hydration Signs for $45.97.

I think I’ll pass.

I see what you did there.

It suggests a medical condition if the urine is a color other than yellow, or has a strange odor, or a strange consistency, or contains any solids or moving objects.

From Harpo Speaks. Harpo Marx is golfing on Alexander Wolcott’s island estate.

Near the tee there was a short length of watering hose, connected to a spigot embedded in the ground, and a pile of fresh clippings of leaves and grass… I ran the hose up my pants leg, then stuffed my pants with handfuls of the clippings. When I heard the three [doctors] approaching I turned the faucet on with my foot. They came upon me in the act of relieving myself – with a phenomenal, powerful stream laden with green hunks of vegetation.

“Hey Doc!” I said. “Maybe I better have a urinalysis.”

Beware chunky urine.

Beware chunky urine.

It is usually blood clots or kidney gravel, though sometimes it is feces if there is a fistula betwixt bladder and bowel
