A guaiac test is a test in which the presence of blood is tested in excrement. This test is used to detect bleeding of the large intestine. The wood resin from a tree in the genus of Guajacum is used for this test. When this resin comes into contact with blood it turns blue, thereby indicating the presence of blood.

This weekend I watched Alex & Emma, a really movie cool starring Kate Hudson and Luke Wilson. One of the main characters is a stenographer. The plot is about an author who is experiencing writer’s block (Luke Wilson playing Alex). He hires a court reporter (Emma played by Kate Hudson) to write out his novel as he dictates it. This movie is a romantic comedy so you can pretty much guess what happens next.
I wish they would have instructed Kate Hudson on the proper posture and hand movements of a stenographer. She also never sets her machine up on a tripod. It is awkwardly set up on her lap, a sofa, and on tables of varying heights throughout the movie. However, I still love that the main character is a court reporter!!
