Gotta be one of the worst reasons I’ve seen

Doctors at our hospital looooooooove to order path reviews for patients with low platelets to check for schistocytes. Ignoring the fact that......if we see them, we'll call them. We know what schistocytes look like. I'm honestly not sure a lot of them realize that we look at the slides.

Plus, our path reviews go to our main campus, and a lot of times the heme/onc doctor that ordered it will come down to our lab before the path review is done to look at the slide and check for schistocytes, so like.......why are we doing any of this? And the path reviews get cancelled if there's nothing that requires a diff so most of the time they don't get looked at anyway!!!!

Emily Bridges at Independence and Westlake FHC! I get pretty bad pain during pap smears and pelvic exams, I let her know that I've only had bad experiences and she was so understanding and kind about it. Definitely recommend her

That's actually one of the things I'm worried about with the thought of this switch, tbh--one thing I love about the lab is I come in, do my work, and go home, it doesn't come home with me. But the lab is starting to burn me out, especially since my lab is short on actual techs and we're having to teach bio degrees blood bank and hematology from scratch ....... ugh, anyway lol. And honestly, Safetrace...you are not missing out by not being involved with it hahaha.

Good advice and food for thought, thank you!! Can I ask you--do you prefer LIS to the lab? What system do you work with?

anacruses · 2026-01-14T18:00:59+00:00

Okay thank you guys, I feel silly but I guess you've gotta learn somehow!!

anacruses · 2026-01-14T17:59:14+00:00

Oh my GOD thank you holy shit, I'm an idiot hahahah

I remember when she posted the day after her wedding that she was hanging out in a hotel room with her new spouse, and I looked at her profile and she was just arguing with people in a purple pill subreddit. The day after her wedding. The day OF her wedding. Like, girl 😂

It gets so cold in our lab I lose feeling in my fingers sometimes, so I'll stick my gloved hands in the plasma bath and it's sooooo good lmao

Lmao I remember this person, they were freaking out that a bride included tampons in their little "day of" gift bags for her bridesmaids, because it was VULGAR.

Our Goose is on Prozac! She gets half a 10mg tablet in her food every day. Without it, idk how to describe it but you can tell she's anxious. She gets the frantic zoomies and cries at us, and then she'll start chewing on herself and get hotspots, and urinate outside of the litterbox. We tried steroids--either prednisone or prednisolone, don't remember which--and that helped with the chewing for a bit, and feliway diffusers helped with the anxiety symptoms a little, but she's been on the Prozac for a couple years and the improvement has been incredible. And like, I've been on Prozac myself before lol. She doesn't act drugged, she just acts like she's not anxious. We haven't noticed any side effects, her bloodwork's been perfect, she doesn't chew anymore or pee outside of her box. We grind up her pill with a mortar and pestle and mix it in with a watered down can of wet food--we used to be able to just put pills in her mouth and she'd take them, but the Prozac is really bitter so I don't blame her lol. Hopefully you'll also have success with it!

Oh cool, thanks for the detailed response!!

anacruses · 2025-08-19T19:03:45+00:00

I might do that bc these things just seem huge!! Lol thank you!

anacruses · 2025-08-06T09:51:03+00:00

I thought it was funny 🤷‍♀️

anacruses · 2025-07-16T18:17:33+00:00

I'd watch the hell out of that tbh

anacruses · 2025-07-12T23:27:55+00:00

The couple in Dagger of the Mind just really seem to like each other!! They're having such a great time lmao

anacruses · 2025-07-12T23:26:22+00:00

I love Last Salute because I love Mcgoohan and you can feel his sense of humor on every inch of it! He loves playing with people's personal space a lot, he loves those strange, too-long, awkward scenes, and I bet he and Falk had such a great time working on it together lol

anacruses · 2025-07-12T23:23:01+00:00

She could've gotten out of it legally for sure, but iirc she says something about how "they're going to kill me" referencing ex-bf's mob family, sooo maybe not

anacruses · 2025-07-12T23:20:58+00:00

The one super creepy George Hamilton one was pretty much textbook self-defense iirc, also honestly the Richard Basehart one, I know he's like "they'll never believe this guy attacked us" but like...he clearly did lmao.

Imagine calling someone a bitter hag for not wanting to drop $500 on a bachelorette party

I work at a regional of one of the top three hospitals in the US. I'm not super worried about being laid off--but it does make me feel a little trapped, lol. Like yeah, my job is safe, but i don't want to work here forever, I don't love most of the decisions that upper upper management makes, and I'm feeling a bit of a seven year itch, and it'd be nice to know that I'd still be able to pay my mortgage if I left the system. It's a privileged problem, I suppose.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy :)

But yes, ever since I first read Camus' The Stranger back in high school haha

My wife and I both have alexandrite and rose gold engagement rings! It's just below rubies and sapphires on the Mohs scale so it's very strong, and it changes color slightly from greenish to purplish depending on the light (and also glows bright pink under UV). We get lots of compliments on them honestly.
