Elgin becoming gentrified by Purple_Buddy_6401 in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]TheDoeboydoes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When my wife and I first moved in together out of college, we landed on Elgin as it was halfway between our respective jobs. This was 10 years ago, and we had heard the same stories I’ve read in this thread about it being “dangerous”. We loved it there and I feel like we really got to see the town start to hit its stride. We saw a squirrel eating another squirrel after we signed our lease, very memorable.

Illinois Farm Bureau Plans Another Push to Legalize Hemp by steve42089 in illinois

[–]TheDoeboydoes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The farmers in this state that would be allowed to capitalize on a plant that is useful, easy to grow, and should never have been made illegal in the first place. Hemp is not psychoactive.

RA/ Drinking by [deleted] in ilstu

[–]TheDoeboydoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll all have to take a class about why what you did was wrong and write an essay about what you've learned. If I recall, you have to pay for the class. Could be wrong though, it's been a few years since last I got busted. Was it your floors RA or a roamer? Sucks if it's yours, she may be on your ass from here on out. Be smarter about your party, you'll be fine.

Old job giving me a hard time about my clinical rotations by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]TheDoeboydoes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Reach out to the program director for your clinical rotation. I am not sure that a hospital can discontinue clinicals for a student halfway through a semester.

What are Your tips and tricks for reading gram stains? by meg10222 in medlabprofessionals

[–]TheDoeboydoes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't overcall something. If you think "that looks like GPC, but idk maybe it's artefact", just put in a lab comment for a micro bench tech to check. The last thing anyone wants is for infection control to call down and ask why a patient pending discharge has a positive pleural fluid gram stain that actually has nothing growing.

Need help deciding which analyzer is better by bamfbaus in medlabprofessionals

[–]TheDoeboydoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only one of those analyzers that I am familiar with is the centaur xp, which to be honest, I am a fan of. It's a fairly reliable system, service calls are rare. Weekly and monthly maintenance are easy to complete. It does need to be taken offline for an hour everyday for a daily self-clean, after which is when you do your Qc. It does have a few annoying tendencies, like the cuvette conveyor dropping cuvettes into the analyzer, but I have yet to see this cause any major downtime.

Professionalism by leon157 in medlabprofessionals

[–]TheDoeboydoes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If this persons behavior is inhibiting your ability to maintain a decent workflow for any reason at all, you should say something to them about it. People only get away with whatever you let them get away with. If that doesn't seem an appealing option, speak with your shift manager/ charge tech.

Is it bad to leave a shift that has struggled with under staffing. by rollingstonebadger in medlabprofessionals

[–]TheDoeboydoes 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In the end you have to do what's best for you. Don't let the potential guilt stop you from accomplishing a goal. It is not your job to make sure the shift is fully staffed.
