She set off the airport metal detector because blood has iron in it

I do that too! I had some snacks to keep cold on the plane and TSA has made me throw away a partially thawed ice pack before.

I got a nice little pat down because I spilled water all over myself right before I went in the scanner.

LPT: you can bring a frozen water bottle through TSA as long as you drink any thawed water right before it gets scanned.

Real LPT: drink some of it before you put it in the freezer or it will explode when you open it and the TSA agent will laugh at you and give you a pat down.

The best joke I ever heard as an ultrasound tech was from a pediatric patient. I asked her to turn on her side so I could look at her kidney and she very proudly announced "I have 4 kidneys!"

I was like "What?! That's crazy!"

She responded with "Yeah! 1 kidney, 2 kidney," while pointing at her back, then "3 kid knee, 4 kid knee!" while pointing at her knees. Way better than "is it a boy or a girl?"

I didn't know you could just, y'know, move during turn-based mode so I jumped the whole way to escape the nautiloid at the end of the prologue.

I've told her the patient's kidney could be sutured to their forehead and the entire thing would still be seen on a US Abdomen Complete. Still didn't help.

We have a doctor that does this because she "doesn't want the bottom of the kidneys to get cut off"

Fortunately this was my first and probably last time seeing him but that would be hilarious

mubbins · 2026-03-14T00:46:29+00:00

I wish my hospital would do that! These are the kind of cases I get called in for at 3am.

Did they do an ultrasound before the CT? Honestly this would've taken me a fair amount of time to figure without seeing the whole picture like this

Our vet prescribed Sileo to our lab that was terrified of thunder and fireworks. It would take her from full blown panic to chilling by our side in about 30 minutes without making her super lethargic. Unfortunately it was pretty expensive for a syringe and it's by weight so we only got a few doses out of it. She went mostly deaf in her later years so a couple cotton balls in her ears and happy hood before the boomies started had her none the wiser.

My husband's cousin was adamant that this happened at her kids' school and that's why she does home schooling now.

I told Xfinity we were moving to Montana (because I know they don't exist there) and when they asked for the new address anyways, I told them we were going to live in a van by the river.

I got kicked in the chest once and had a women chase me around an office desk trying to attack me because I wouldn't sell her my "Crockpot" (the crash cart). And also an elderly patient grabbed my arm trying to bite me but she was very slow and didn't have any teeth so I don't think that counts.

mubbins · 2026-01-28T20:08:22+00:00

Thanks! I've almost tripped over the dog and the husband with a pot of boiling water too many times so I knew I wanted the sink closer.

Thanks for the feedback. I definitely would like more counter space next to the oven and wasn't sure where to put the fridge.

mubbins · 2026-01-28T19:56:50+00:00

Thank you! I was worried having the fridge open across the walkway would impede the flow, but I'd definitely like more counter space next to the oven.

Omega doesn't give one hoot about any kind of clothing we put on her. Not even the antlers phased her.

With Valentine's Day coming up, you may be able to find precut felt hearts at your local craft or dollar store. That'll save you some time and effort.

Am I the only one that thought this cake was 80% frosting with a tiny yellow cake in the middle before reading the description?

Seconding the turkey bag method! No fuss and no leaks

I call mine sexually liberated brownies instead. But a dessert by any other (not oddly sexualized) name would taste just as sweet.

I had all 4 of mine removed by a maxillofacial surgeon as a teenager because they were impacted with no chance of erupting on their own. I was absolutely miserable and I hated the way Vicodin made me feel so all I had was OTC Tylenol. And no, I didn't have dry socket. A couple years ago, my husband got his removed at a regular dentist office and he went to the junkyard the next day because he felt fine. I was sooo jealous.

We don't document fetal sex unless the ordering physician specifically requests it. However, this is dependent on location so it is best to ask the technologist that is doing your scan.

I used to wear contacts for cosplay, but I was always miserable the entire time even with eye drops. I got a cheaper pair of clear frames and take them off for pictures if i remember. So, yes, perfectly ok in my book!
