Hi , unfortunately in many UK hospitals, bedpans are now constructed from pressed recycled cardboard! So don't strike a light or leave it too long or it'll leak! All in the names of health & safety and finance! Relieving ones self into a cardboard box . . . . !

How things have progressed in the 21st century!
