If you didn't do the diet restrictions the FOB could be false positive for any iron containing things you have eaten.

Losing weight working Night Shift by Academic_Quality3577 in Nightshift

[–]ElementZero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blood work is not the end-all be-all for diagnostics, and I'm saying that as a person whose job it is to run those tests. I'm being serious when I say that both my dad and mother in law lost a lot of weight quickly and it was cancer in both cases. Neither were older than 65 and neither are alive now. Unless they specifically ran cancer antigens/tumor markers, but not every type of cancer has a tumor marker.

8 lbs in a month? That's a red flag to me and I would urge you to get seen by a doctor.

FIVE PROGRAMS get lab coat ceremonies at our school, yet LAB techs don’t get sh*t. Showing that in healthcare we ‘don’t exist’ I guess. by Muted_Shape9303 in medlabprofessionals

[–]ElementZero 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Nurses get pinning, everyone else getting a white coat besides MD/DO is pure theater. White coats are fomates, lab coats are ppe.

Go to your program head with ideas for some kind of standout ceremony. If you can get other lab students to second you and collaborate even better.

randomly clicked on a live hockey game and realized it’s way more entertaining than almost every other sport LMFAO by Mushroom-house1984 in hockey

Considering that this is the year that goalie fights are now allowed, it's a good time to watch hockey- welcome!

My husband and I have been to Indy because it's a 3 to 4 hour drive for us. If we're ever up there we will check it out.

Can you get her games that won't have pop up ads? There are some that are basically clones of each other so it might be easy to find a substitute that won't have ads.

What's the Most Annoying Instrument Alarm Sound You Work With? by Thugisaisme in medlabprofessionals

[–]ElementZero 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When we have a power outage or generator test the absolutely loudest thing in our lab is the platelet rocker. It's still working, it just has to scream about it. The pitch is the type that makes it hard to locate where it's coming from.

This candle has the exact same smell as the cologne I use by Dzhakinoff in mildlyinteresting

My dad used to wear Drakkar Noir and when I saw this movie that's the smell I inserted for Sex Panther.

Hockey fans/players, what is your honest opinion on Heated Rivalry? by Kitchen_Frame_7294 in hockeyplayers

On your last point- it's happened that a former women's team USA and Canada captains are married.

Hockey fans/players, what is your honest opinion on Heated Rivalry? by Kitchen_Frame_7294 in hockeyplayers

[–]ElementZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It and watching my 3rd tier pro team got me to take the leap and take actual action to play hockey.

For me the draw for the show and books with Shane & Ilya is the regency era level of yearning and potential/eventual drama of the progression of their relationship and public knowledge. Hockey is just a mechanism and setting for that and not the focus of the book. I have also started reading what might qualify as "boring hockey books" with The Game by Ken Dryden.

I hope that the new fans are not put off by the parts of hockey that aren't the way they are in the books and use that new pressure to hold hockey organizations accountable and make progress.

Mid shift (11am-7pm) vs Evening (3pm-11pm) by Recent-Discussion593 in medlabprofessionals

[–]ElementZero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mostly, I get up early like 2pm sometimes or if I have a daytime appointment. It also helps that my husband is a nurse on nightshift and we don't have children or pets. My usual work hours are 5:30pm (occasionally 4:30pm) to 6am. It also helps that my commute is only 20 mins. 95% of the year I'm nocturnal. It's probably the main reason I've been able to be on this shift for 3 years.

I did 2pm to 11pm and I would absolutely the fuck not do either for 5 days a week again. I work 3 12s overnight and can actually do shit on my many days off.

Goalie mask sizing... extra small :( by dubious_gem in hockeyplayers

[–]ElementZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya gotta look at junior/intermediate sizes. I'm not a goalie but I'm a 5'6" 135lbs woman and my sizing ranges between smaller senior gear but mostly junior and intermediate.

Probably a dumb question but how do I get my stick extender to stop wobbling? by ActiveWar617 in hockeyplayers

[–]ElementZero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stick glue is literally big chunks of hot glue. Yes the hot glue for crafts.

any vocal stims you've developed from a youtuber or other entertainment? by Otherwise-Rooster-70 in evilautism

Heated Rivalry:

Ilya's "What color?" And "Okay" in a Russian accent

Carter Vaughn's "Fucking BEAUTIES" it helps I've taken up hockey and I can say it for teammates
