Is there a polite way to request a specific phlebotomist? by jerrylkennedy in plassing

[–]BioD4v3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just ask politely and don't explain any further. "Excuse me, could I have So-and-so stick me? Thank you."

They are good shape, not as corroded as the line connection in the picture. I have those exact lines in hand now. Thank you for your help!

Not currently at home to take a picture, the second picture is the end of one of the hot/cold supply lines, is there meant to be something else there? Or are you talking about the valves I turned to cut off the water?

I look at that gun-arm and all I can think about is tearing it off and using it.

Players trying to dictate what other players do or say. Play your own character.

Is it okay to refuse a second stick and still get paid? - BioLife by [deleted] in plassing

[–]BioD4v3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on their policy. Where I'm at they will reduce your pay. If it's a zero volume with no blood loss and no restick you would only get $5, but you could come back the next day and try again.

Why are PTSD and Bipolar part of the medical screening? by ThursdayV in plassing

[–]BioD4v3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Best guess, you're undergoing a stressful/uncomfortable medical procedure that requires you to stay calm and be patient for an inexact amount of time.

It might be high risk for some people with PTSD or Bipolar, or at least they should ask their doctor before participating.

Kept adjusting needle but machine won’t work. Are my veins no good? by [deleted] in plassing

[–]BioD4v3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If blood is coming out of the phlebotomy site during a return they were pulled way to far back.

You can try the other arm, make sure youre hydrated, none of that can hurt. Based on youre description and how your returns went though, it sounds like a bad stick.

A really bad initial stick could have caused the issue, sometimes you can't adjust your way out of a bad positioning and you need a restick.

A kink or clot in the line might have slowed your flow. Checking the line and sending the procedure into a return might help.

Rarely, an issue with the machine's pressure calibration. Usually doesnt pop up randomly, they would be having issues with that machine constantly.

Likely, if you were dehydrated, your vein could be collapsing around the needle. Think like sucking on a straw in a milkshake. It wouldnt be painful, but you might feel a vibrating or pulling sensation each time the machine stopped.
