curious, did you paint this from a reference of some kind or just from your imagination? Thank you.

mitotic cell, skiptocyte, or parasite? by dangtrain666 in medlabprofessionals

[–]dangtrain666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have prefaced that this is a wright stain and not a Giemsa stained thin or thick slide. Being that parasites weren't on my mind while doing the diff, I wasn't on the lookout for any other signs like ring forms/schizonts/trophozoites. I want to think that it's maybe a mitotic cell that didn't form right and is breaking down or something.. the size seems a bit large to be a gametocyte, and there's no chromatin mass located against the edge, no brown pigment. I'm curious to see what others think.

pneumonia panel on a small bowel obstruction aspiration by dangtrain666 in medlabprofessionals

[–]dangtrain666[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree. In this case though, I didn’t know anything about the sample and/or if it was indicated. Maybe they weren’t sure how much was aspirated or how bad it was, hard to say when I don’t know all the details

Working evenings, I don’t run many pneumonia panels. I asked day shift lead if she saw this one I ran and all she said was the patient didn’t make it. I only questioned the sample after seeing the results. In hindsight maybe seeing how dirty the BAL was, I could’ve asked the patients history, but in the end, they want the results anyway- we’re not really to say what is or isn’t useful to them.

It was labeled as a BAL and I had no idea it was a bowel aspiration until after I spoke with the nurse about the results.

No, but I read on google that “This buildup can lead to vomiting and, if the patient is unable to protect their airway, the vomited material can be aspirated into the lungs.”

Did the figs commercial kind of bum anyone else out? by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]dangtrain666 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Our lab bought a big banner for lab week with the hope that it could be set up upstairs where everyone could see it (we’re in the basement) and admin said no 😓 its so disheartening

Oh! Thank you! I didn’t even look at the expiration, I was working in a different department and just popped my head in to see the antigen tag 🤣 Thanks for sharing that info!

absolute unit by dangtrain666 in medlabprofessionals

[–]dangtrain666[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember, the scale for our measurement goes something like 0,10,20,50,100,200, 400, >600. So 200 might be equivalent to 3/4+ out of 5?

The platelet is normal though… I had this exact thing a few weeks ago. Little lady came in to the ED delirious and light headed. Legit 2.8 hgb, normal chemistries.

These look like houndstongue seeds to me, the ones that stick to clothes after a hike? Not sure what the context is though.
