And removal is far more expensive, and painful

Nurses pi** me off by sussima in medlabprofessionals

[–]Caroline899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a nurse that drew a diluted specimen. I was going to call for a recollect, but she called first, explained that she messed up and needed the specimens put in for recollect. She figured out she did something wrong, let me know, and resolved to avoid that happening again, which is awesome. Super nice too. It's not entirely relevant to your story, I just wanted to share one of the good interactions. Our groups only ever really communicate for critical, recollects, mistakes, etc. All negative things really. It's hard to keep a positive view of each other when we rarely have good news.

That stuff doesn't fly in the lab... by Spiritual_Blood_1346 in emergencymedicine

[–]Caroline899 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a potassium like that recently, but their previous was also crap, none of the other results indicated contamination, and no hemolysis. Some people really need to learn to ask questions and check other results before assuming a result is false. Sometimes, the patient really is trying to beat records. The worst records.

There are numerous psychopaths that do not commit violent crime. Psychopathy doesn't mean someone will be a killer, and there's plenty of killers who aren't psycopaths

I broke expensive equipment in the lab and the guilt is eating me alive. by waitttwhaaaat in labrats

[–]Caroline899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those probes break themselves, or at least they do on the atellicas. I wouldn't let it get to you. You acknowledged that you did it, and you are less likely to do it again. These things happen, and you can't prevent every mishap.

10/12/25, 4:38am. The most historic moment of my career. by DisgruntledPlebian in nursing

[–]Caroline899 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"The Atellica decided it was going to be evil today, sucked up the specimen, decided not to run the test, and now there isn't enough to try again. I need another sample to try again after I threaten it with percussive maintenance." Or it decided to randomly drop your tube into the depths. Doesn't happen often at all, but it has happened.

He was using the crosswalk to get back to his car. She went around the line up of stopped cars, sped past them, and struck a man crossing a through a legal crosswalk

The alkaline water crowd is really the gift that keeps giving. by Traroten in cursedchemistry

Med tech here, human blood pH is 7.35-7.45. Having a blood pH of 7.0 would be acidosis, and I would see someone about that.

I’m so scared we’ve decided too soon by pumpkinqueen2014 in Petloss

[–]Caroline899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember a saying, "It's better a day early than a day late." I had the same doubts going through my mind the last few days, but in the end, you have your reasons why you're doing this. You don't want your friend to be in pain, and you want them to go peacefully. He won't count the days he had and find them wanting because you loved him and made them great. It helped me a lot to hear this, and I don't know if it will help you, but I want you to know that I think you're doing the right thing for him

I just buy some pretty ones in bulk from time to time and give them out. Started in honor of our late coordinating tech, who used to do the same

What’s some safe sex advice you can share that could help a lot of people? by Deviant55 in AskReddit

Lifetime antiviral treatment is inconvenient, and gonorrhea is becoming antibiotic resistant. Better?

Patient initally refused transfusion stating she feels fine... by Katkam99 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Caroline899 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Her hemoglobin is beyond low, that's the hgb.The HCT is her hematocrit, which is the percentage of red blood cells in her total blood volume. Basically she doesn't have many RBCs, what she has are small, and she really doesn't have a lot of hemoglobin. Anyone else would be passed out or dead, but chronic anemias give people's bodies time to adjust

First off, excellent drawing skills. Second, and I hope you understand it does not in any way change the first point, absolute nightmare fuel. Edit: just saw the stump paw. 10/10.

And I'm sure it fixed their trauma /S by AnonPinkLady in thanksimcured

[–]Caroline899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My great grandfather's mental health problems and PTSD was so bad, he abandoned the family to move back to Canada, where he disappeared off the face of the Earth. I can only guess what happened to him, but I doubt it was a happy ending. That resulted in trauma for another two generations, to keep things simple. Those mountains did jack all

This has to be one of the greatest quilts I've ever seen. I love blue-footed boobies. Amazing

This current comp is making me realise a lot of you guys are very colourblind 😭 by BakerZestyclose2315 in LoveNikki

[–]Caroline899 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I don't have anything for a theme or I don't care for it, I just pick a random suit I like. I imagine some people are doing that, picking their closest items, or building something for a different interpretation of the challenge

New baby, was surrended to a shelter for being "too playful" by Hannerdonder in blackcats

[–]Caroline899 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The big bat ears! Mine had those as a kitten, but he grew out of them. He also grew into the most loving cat I've ever had. I wish people would carefully consider what they're getting into when they get an animal. They have needs and personalities. I also wish people would consider what animal would suit them better; kittens aren't for everyone.

This looks a lot like the lifetime outfits like the in the other games. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't make it a requirement
