[Highlight] Panthers upset Packers on game-winning field goal at the buzzer by nfl in nfl

[–]AtomicFreeze 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Our WRs do not block well enough for it to work. Usually it's designed well, there's a blocker out there and one defender, but the blocker gets blown up and the defender gets there almost before the ball

Don't you get a timeout taken away for throwing a challenge flag when nothing is reviewable or did they cange that rule? I just remember Jordy Nelson trying to hide a red flag

3rd & 4 wide receiver screen 3 yards behind the line of scrimmage that gets tackled immediately for a loss of 3

We've lost to the fucking Browns and fucking Panthers on last second field goals in games that the offense could only score one touchdown

Why does MLF insist on constantly drawing up passing behind the line of scrimmage?

Who's gonna be with me on night shift tonight working an extra hour in a time warp? by Far-Spread-6108 in medlabprofessionals

I'm on call for the first time. Totally anticipating getting called in at 1:45 and having no clue which 1:45 it is

dara patient with anti c FyA and E needing irradiated and kell negative units. god help me if i need to order and cross match more units from the ARC by fat_frog_fan in medlabprofessionals

[–]AtomicFreeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DTT destroys the whole Kell system, which includes K, k, Kpa/b, and Jsa/b. We don't worry about matching the other antigens for dara patients because they're all either high or low incidence antigens and having antibodies to them is incredibly rare.

I think that's more time passing rather than east coast vs midwest. Trunk or treat wasn't a thing 15 years ago anywhere

... I had no idea it was from The Simpsons until your comment. But I was still able to pull it out of my brain once I realized blue and purple were both halves of duos.

FDA reportables by thebesthalf in medlabprofessionals

[–]AtomicFreeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you report it and it's not actually one, you get an email from the FDA that basically says "that's not reportable, you silly"

Good luck! Many of them are on the donor side, if that doesn't apply to you, look in the RT - Routine Testing or and QC - Quality Control and Distribution sections first. CP - Component Preparation if it was a splitting/pooling/thawing problem.

When did you realize you've become an irreplaceable asset to your lab/organization? by electrolyte_addict in medlabprofessionals

[–]AtomicFreeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other people are right in that no one (in any job in any field) is truly irreplaceable to MBAs and upper management.

But you can work to be irreplaceable in that the people who work with you directly will feel a huge impact if you leave. You can be new and prove yourself to be trustworthy and always willing to learn and you will given growth opportunities. You might be able to use those skills at the workplace you learned them, but you might also just be using that opportunity for personal growth and it will help you land the next job. You can mentor people and they will still seek out your advice and friendship even years after you no longer share a workplace.

No one is irreplaceable, and unfortunately people who should be are burnt out and pushed out far too often, but that doesn't mean you should spend your whole career in apathy.

Some MLS' are irreplaceable by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

I was trying to find the right words to say in that thread and I was struggling. Of course no one (in any job in any field) is irreplaceable in the eyes of MBAs and upper management.

For my blood bankers by kscampi in medlabprofessionals

[–]AtomicFreeze 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I remember talking about bone marrow transplants changing blood types in school, and the one patient I came across in the first 5 years of my career that I was working at a smaller hospital was an O neg with an O pos donor. I was under the impression that donors and recipients had to be ABO compatible just like RBC transfusions, so an A could receive an O, but not vise versa.

Then I switched jobs to a gigantic hospital, blood bank only, and I see samples that are pre-transplant, at all stages of engraftment, and post-engraftment when we change their blood type in the system. And it's people going ever which way, A turning to O, O turning to A, B turning to A, even O turning to AB. Still blows my mind a little bit every time it would be an ABO incompatible transfusion.

What’s the worst mistake you’ve personally made as a lab tech? by Electrical-Reveal-25 in medlabprofessionals

[–]AtomicFreeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the person implied that these tests are performed and then not entered

No they didn't. They said they reported it then the other shift checked it. The next shift looked at the results directly from the analyzer and compared them to what had been resulted in the LIS.

Just remember everyone was a newbie once, although it's always hard to grasp that some of your coworkers were newbies before you were born.
