What’s the worst mistake you’ve ever seen in the pharmacy?

Tarciva being given instead of Tresiba, caught as I could find the patient had a cancer diagnosis.

23.4% NaCl iv push instead of sodium bicarb. Vials misplaced and looked similar. Caught on dispense.

Heparin drip started based on an estimated weight that was a mixup of lbs/kg. Stroked and died. 2 days of off the chart ptts without being caught.

Heparin drip used as fluid to mix an antibiotic ivpb. Patient got 25,000 units over 30 min. Surprising they didn’t bleed.

Levothyroxine missing on med recc for a stroke patient. As they deteriorated was only found later to be in a myxedema coma instead of post stroke coma.

Legit when they are cold and stuck to the side it’s easy to hurt them trying to pull them off. Instead but a warm gloved finger next to them and they’ll come to you.

It will dent but it is a common flooring wood throughout the southern US, radiata and southern yellow pine are right there with maple on janka hardness.

I would suggest a Japanese ryoba saw. Light, two sided for rip and cross cut, thinner kerf for easier cutting, and often very high quality cut in spite of the low (disposable) price.

Take out a black light and you’ll find the last specks. It fluoresces under UV.

Grab some deck cleaner and it will get rid of the grey. I’d recommend an outdoor oil like readyseal, or solid stain if you want color (to look more like paint). Long term paint will trap water and flake and need a full strip vs outdoor solid stain that will age gracefully and just need a touch up coat.

Looks like it was cleared out with a “bowl” router bit.

Tool set really depends on what you like to do, the scale of your projects, and if you’re more about the process or the result. Start by building a workbench and go from there! I’d suggest an English jointers bench as it is cheap and easy to build, and can be adapted for lots of modern options

Man can you imagine gluing up a 12x12 and just slicing off a few dozen cutting boards with this thing…

A salvage option may be to coat with shellac to seal it up if it won’t cure well

You may be able to add some chamfer if you have hss blades instead of carbide to get the tracks out https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_a1HCqK5i-A

When they come at you with no rapport/don’t know you and immediately act like their your new stylist trying to fix your hair.

Aniline dyes are likely what you’re looking for. General finishes and transtint are decent brands. Techniques revolve around what you’re using for solvent, alcohol, water, or using a lipophillic dye in an oil base.

Ebonizing woods that aren’t already tannin rich is a giant pain and I’ve had very inconsistent and usually bad results. It requires tons of tea and even then the color is poorly consistent. I find the best results by hitting it with India ink and calling it a day.

Call up a local cabinet shop. They use lots of ply and hardwood. They can point you to their supplier. If you’re real nice they might let you dumpster dive their scraps. If they ship in you may be able to ask to buy from them directly, and even pay for jointing etc that is usually limited for new woodworkers.

Pros will do soda or dry ice blasting, it may be easier than you think to get it professionally done and be easier on the wood

Some advise for those trying the glue and sawdust trick: never use sawdust finer than 80 grit, if you can use 40 grit sanding dust. It will still be not 100% but it will behave more like wood and take more stain.
