If you are offended by the use of the term poop and its vulgar synonyms, this is not the episode for you. But then, isn't vulgar language "of the common people?"—exactly the folks we teach and to whom our students will be providing care.

Zookeepers and other animal caregivers generally keep detailed poop journals that record defecation patterns and changes in stool from day to day. These journals can give insights on health over time and can spot potential problems before they get more serious. Monitoring human poop can have similar benefits.
