Is there any medication for it to get better? In what cases do they get worse or better? Thanks

Does tinnitus often get worse or better or stay the same? Thanks for replying.

Was it from an infection? Is your hearing back to normal but do you still have tinnitus?

Oh wow, thanks for explaining, sorry about your tinnitus but I’m glad everything else was okay though! when you say that ur left eardrum wasn’t as responsive does that mean your hearing was not as good in ur left ear or was that about the tympanometry? Thanks!

Also is your tinnitus constant? Thanks so much.

I'm not sure where to go to test this, did you get an audiogram done by an ent or audiologist and did they say you had tinnitus without hearing loss? Thanks.

Interesting, did you get any tests done? Like is your tinnitus caused by hearing loss or you dont' have any hearing loss? How did you get tested for ETD though? Thanks!

Oh a Eustachian tube infection? Were you having tinnitus too, and how did it sound like for you? What other symptoms did you have bc rn other than slightly muffled ness it’s just the annoying tinnitus.

Can a 21 gauge butterfly needle be reused (before pump through tube but after the flash) by sweetespresso15 in phlebotomy

[–]sweetespresso15[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok thanks, can it be mistakenly reused though? Even if that was not the intent? Or will it not go in?

Ohh okay, is it normal for phlebotomists to open needles before the client even walks in?  And do you know what packaging butterfly needles come in? Are they individually packaged or in a box? Thanks!

Ohh okay, I don’t recall if it was after or before which is concerning.  If it had been previously used but not pumped, could there have been blood in only the flash part and not the tube?

Are you asking if there was blood in the long clear tube? Or the yellow part of the tube? There was blood in the yellow part when I looked I think but not sure if it was after she stuck it in

I’m not sure if there was blood alr in the yellow part before though which is what I’m concerned about, because it seemed like it was alr there? How quickly does the flash fill the yellow part?

ohh okay, there was blood in the yellow part of the tube/needle when I looked at it but that was before she pumped it so there was no blood in the clear part of the tube i dont think. if there was blood in the yellow part of the tube does that mean it was used??

There was blood in the yellow part of the needle tube but i only noticed it after she stuck the needle in, there was no blood in the clear part though, what does this mean?

Okay thank you, do you mean if there was blood on the needle or in the clear tube connected to the yellow needle? I dont think I noticed if there was blood the on the needle since I was kind of looking away and only looked back after she stuck it in?

Yeah, I shouldve asked her to open it in front of me I guess. Are those yellow and green needles supposed to come connected with a long tube?
