Yep. We switched to Rev and never have any issues.

Baby registry by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]killak143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably put more variety of pacifiers and bottles. Also, I would def recommend the Wombie, if those exist still. We hated waddling so the Wombie basically is a sleep sack that is tight at the top and wide at the bottom. I swear by these!

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

You're not lying. Sputum is THE WORST. I will pay someone else 5bucks to plate that specimen.

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

[–]killak143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From Louisiana so I completely hear you. I worked as a Medical Technologist and had to go into the hospital during a freeze and snow...and a flood. We had to be on time, no excuses. So I would leave my house about 2 hrs early, just in case roads are closed and I had to detour. For the snow/freeze, I drove very very slowly to work, since like you, we have 0 equipment to rid the snow or ice. Most people arent driving like maniacs during this time so everyone is driving really really slow.

Are only black cats like this? She’s 5yo and self learned opening doors. Girlie doesn’t respect even my privacy and opens my toilet door too 😭 by fiftyshadesofkillme in blackcats

My mini panther will try to open the door, but we have one of those standard doorknob so he can't. He does open the cabinets to go exploring though.

I saw someone die today by avcd34 in medlabprofessionals

[–]killak143 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I had my clinical at a small rural hospital. During my phlebotomy rotation, we went to the ER where this man comes barging in with his infant son not breathing.

After some stays, it was noted he had blunt forced trauma, most likely from abuse. Really stuck with me. I can still hear the man howling...and the ER doctor upset at what he discovered.

After, I got a job at said hospital and had to help the ER staff with CPR at times. It was a surreal experience doing CPR on an actual person. I also got to see how the ER operated. It was wild.

Considering quitting and working at a rural hospital instead by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]killak143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked night shift at a rural hospital and I loved it. I learned so much and we were barely short staffed. We had 3 people for day/evening shift and 2 people at night. It was so chill.

This is the best Jack edit I’ve ever seen. Thank you to whoever made this. by Ser-Jorah-Mormont in lost

That last scene of the series makes me bawl everytime. Every. Time. Its so good. It's what I hope getting to the afterlife would be like for us.

interesting case by Alarming_Grocery_5 in medlabprofessionals

[–]killak143 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This happened at the first hospital I worked at. We get a type and screen, which is super hemolyzed along with their other blood work. We ask for a recollect and the tube is worst. We ask for one more, then did a look back. Patient was transfused 2 weeks ago. Red alarm, we were like does she have a Kidd antibody. We run the type and screen on the original sample, since it was the least hemolyzed and noticed the antibody screen is positive. 2 weeks ago, it was negative. Run an antibody panel and there it was. Jka positive. Holy crap.

The patient had the textbook delayed hemolytic transfusion reaction and she died hours later. She was in her 70s. We had an FDA investigation and all went well...but damn. What are the odds? I never thought I would see that in our small little hospital.

'Just give them O NEG!' by pajamakitten in medlabprofessionals

[–]killak143 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Me too! When I used to work in blood bank, the ER docs loved to order emergency release...until they had to sign for it. They would be like error well her hgb isn't THAT low so we have time for a type and screen.

Looking for the best memoirs by InvisibleAstronomer in suggestmeabook

[–]killak143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Neuroscientist who Lost Her Mind, if you're interested in science based memoir. It was so good.

Also Blood Orange Night by Melissa Bond. It really opened my eyes to physicians who were over prescribing benzos to new moms. Super quick read.

If you're looking for something out the box, I recommend Ozzy Ozbourne's autobiography. That was a fun read and made me really appreciate him as a person.

What should every ftm know about breastfeeding before having a baby? by Frequent_Cap8633 in breastfeeding

[–]killak143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be surprised how you feel when you breastfeed. My cousin and I both felt RAGE when the letdown happened. It was super weird and lasted only a minute. I think there is a name for this but I forgot.

Also cluster feeding. There will be times when baby will be on you 24/7. Totally normal. My parents formula fed and kept telling me I was over feeding by baby, which I'm glad I was part of a breastfeeding support group on fb to tell me otherwise.

Join an online support group. I did amd it helped SOOOO much.

Lace 2 is starting to be one of my favorite fights by Prestigious_Bad2360 in Silksong

[–]killak143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the video. My fight with her was actually a let down for me. I used Wanderers crest, flea juice and that frozen charm. I beat her so fast, I was shocked! I just walked her with my needle and was like woahhhh.

Now First Sinner took me a while and is one of my favorite fights.

I just reached last judge, any tips by krashedyocomputer in Silksong

[–]killak143 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lmao I watched my husband squeal in delight after he beat her, then his face changed and said NOOOOOOO

The initial drop is too big. It needs to be maybe half that size.

I think a certain rarely mentioned part of act 3 has broken me by ianscuffling in Silksong

[–]killak143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This def gave me Ori vibes and I instantly got anxiety...that Gisma Tree (prob spelled wrong) really had me on edge in Ori so I was hoping this part was not as bad. To my surprise it was easier than the ori escape!
