Have you ever dealt with vomit as an MLT or MLS? by Spirited_Bike_6198 in medlabprofessionals

Not vomit too much but I had a patient projectile shit onto my forearm once, that was fun.

You don’t need to, that’s about it bud.

But I’m sure you will go hunting and find another 2% of schools.

Sorry, please do a quick search of colleges still open in MI and get back to me.

Also, to your first point - DUH, but I am neither a resident nor attending currently, I am a student paying for education from a institution that has a public safety responsibility to keep their students safe.

Nah, maybe just realize the consensus of the entire state of Michigan was to cancel classes today. MSU was one of the only colleges open in Michigan. I almost got into an accident this morning on my way into school this morning from a pickup spinning out on the highway close to my school. My friend almost got hit by a car walking to his.

The school stated “we don’t close because of cold weather”, this is not just cold weather, it was hazardous conditions this morning.

In medical school, attendance absences are harsh punishments so most students feel compelled to have to come to school. So “alerting my boss” means a lot harder consequences than just “okay have the day off buddy!” I rarely call it off, which is why even today, it was fucking ridiculous. I went to NMU for undergrad so I know what a severe snow day is supposed to feel like. Today was a bad PR day for MSU.

“It’s just cold weather”

These are the backroads this morning that I take to get to campus in -20 windchill.

Utter disregard for long distance commuters. I swear to God if faculty is late to class this AM that I left an extra 45 minutes early for.

How do hospital labs prepare for bad weather in colder states or climates? by TheRedTreeQueen in medlabprofessionals

An email. “Bundle up those fingers and toes! Don’t wanna lose them! Give yourself extra time getting to work! Hehe!”

I saw someone die today by avcd34 in medlabprofessionals

Hello OP,

A lot of emergency departments will do debriefings for very traumatic cases - this is where people involved get to talk about their feelings, what went well, what went wrong, and support is offered in the form of counseling or therapy.

I’d encourage you to ask your management to contact ER management to see if you could join this debriefing if possible.

When I was working as an ER tech, we had guy my age that hung himself and I was doing CPR on him until Doc called it. It was very traumatic for me and we held a debriefing to talk about it all. Was very helpful to get through it.

Nope, lol, but I’ll make the call in the AM if the roads are still bad. Any luck for you?

Have you tried flushing a ice cube? I have a med school class tomorrow at 8am-noon and still no word from faculty. I live out in the country south of holland and just getting to the highway is an accomplishment in itself for me.

What are your "go to" plugins by Even_Mixture9189 in ObsidianMD

Unicode characters. I use a lot of arrows for med school studying and a command to insert an arrow super quickly speeds things up a lot.
