A member asked:
Fecal stool sample: should this be refrigerated overnight and then brought to the doctor the next morning since i may not "go" that morning?

What test?: In general your approach would be okay. The only exception would be if the stool needs to examined fresh for parasites like amoeba or strongyloides.
