p.s. Banana 20k posts?

Did I never explain the situation to you or are your STFU skillz taking the day off too? 😛

I haven't donated blood in a while. Do they use copper sulphate solution still, or is my memory antiquated?

I have a crazy blood donation phobia. I cant do it. I keep thinking if I do, the government will come more of me.....

 

[yaah]

You did explain it but they all went away, and now they are back. This is thus confusing me. Why did the posts all show up again?

copper sulfate solution

Actually, they did use that today to "test the iron levels." The blood donor lady was interested that I was a pathologist though.

Lots of people have a thing against donating blood. Some are afraid they are going to pass out. Then there are people like the girl I am seeing who when I asked her why she doesn't donate blood she says, "Eh, I'm just not interested. I don't do stuff like that." Ok.....

I don't understand the gov't babble.

today is a wonderful day.

That's what I thought. I was told when you drop a drop of blood into copper sulphate what you're measuring is the ESR and not iron levels. 😕

When I was younger I liked them blood donor pins so much that I artificially elevated my blood pressure to get in line.

 

[bananaface]

I got sick of hearing the nurses whine about not being able to find a good vein. But, if anyone wants to hear them whine you can come with me to donate blood. I'll do it just to prove how annoying they can be.

I think you are measuring hematocrit, but they call it "iron" since I guess the main reason most people would be low in a blood donor setting would be iron deficiency.

So the science is that if the drop floats then the Hct is low because iron in RBCs is heavy and should sink?

Why do I feel like I am suddenly back in the Poo thread

 

[b&ierstiefel]

"float"
"sink"

cross-reference to SDN path guide to poo thread.

p.s. your signature sucks.

Don't you pick on FatPathologist! He's a good friend of mine! 😡

I bet his **** stinks though. 😛

 

[b&ierstiefel]

His **** don't stink.

It smells like potpourri. And it tastes like twigs and berries.

 

[beary]

Yuck.

 

[deschutes]

His **** don't stink.

As they say, "one's own never does".

You experiencing pica again?

Hey! Look! An (almost) Anti-Clinical Medicine entry 👍

who is this man of mystery who is known as FatPathologist?

Apparently he is also known as "FuriousTenesmus". 😛

There really is very little resemblance between a chocolate truffle and something the dog left on the stair.

If for argument's sake you were referring to mycorrhizae you could be forgiven...

 

[b&ierstiefel]

No. That's me. AngryTesticle was already taken.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

oh god deschutes, didn't your mommy teach you to leave the poop IN the toilet after you defecate? that **** is supposed to be flushed down, not picked up by hand.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

deschutes, i never knew you were a lefty. oh wait, in certain cultures, you are supposed to wipe your ass with the left hand and not the right. regardless, you forgot to use toilet paper.

 

[deschutes]

Yes, the reference is hard to miss.

Regardless, the difference between my poo (or anyone's poo) and truffles is that poo won't sell for a million bucks - but truffles will.

Should I play golf today or should I sit on the couch?

 

[bananaface]

Play golf. You enjoy it, so do it.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

I bet three fiddy that he sits on the couch.

Geez...Americans are paying taxes to fund your salary...go read a Rosai or something.

 

[yaah]

Ha ha. I did play. Only 9 holes though, less than an hour and a half. It's so nice when there aren't a bunch of crappy guys out there who think they're all Tiger Woods.

 

[bananaface]

Where's my money, Andy? 😕

 

[yaah]

The golf course had an insane amount of goose poop on it. Those freaking animals must crap all the time.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

might be going golfing tomorrow morning...at least this was discussed at Dom's this afternoon.

i think i'm sobering up now.

 

[yaah]

Try Huron Hills. There is enough **** there to make even you impressed, I think.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

Try Huron Hills. There is enough **** there to make even you impressed, I think.

Nah...if I go, it'll be this course near my friend's house in Ypsitucky. It's a crappy course but nobody goes there. That way I can totally suck it up and not feel bad about impeding the progress of the folks behind me.

I hook a ball and it goes on the highway? No problem. I'll just hit another ball.
Ooh...sliced it? Don't feel like running after it. I'll hit another ball again.

 

[yaah]

There weren't many there today. I was there between noon and 2 and it was starting to get busy when I left. The guy in front of me was a little slow but not bad.

 

[bananaface]

My PC monitor just bit the dust. It's a good thing that I have my TPC and wi-fi here. Now I have to decide if I want to retrieve all of my important files and put them on my TPC or if I want to get a new monitor.

 

[b&ierstiefel]

did you like the penguin baseball game?

well this takes it to a whole new level.

Second best thing about taking monday and tuesday off (after the simple fact of having monday and tuesday off) is that you only have to work a three day week.

Blood bank rant of the day: **** you "little c" antigen! You suck!

The maintenance guys finally came to fix a bunch of crap in my apartment today. They have to order a part for the refrigerator door shelf which broke off. I hope they ordered two because one of the dingbats broke a second shelf while trying to take it out to see how the first was supposed to go together. 🙄

Yesterday while studying for my medchem exam I decided that I had to immediately rearrange my bedroom furniture. It looks spiffy now. And, my bed is next to the wall again, which I prefer so that I can sprawl on it and read textbooks more comfortably.

 

[yaah]

You're not supposed to read textbooks in bed. You will mess up your sleep hygeine. Dr Phil says so.

 

[bananaface]

Actually Dr. Kam Cappocia said that. Her exact words were, "The bed is for sleeping and sex only. If you are doing neither of those activities, get out."

I don't read in bed. I read ON the bed. It's totally different.

 

[yaah]

Well I'm sure Dr Phil is trying to take credit for it then. I watch tv and read in bed and I have no trouble at all falling asleep.

 

[bananaface]

Yeah, but you have other issues. Maybe if you quit the TV and reading in there you'd get laid? *snicker*

 

[phoenixsupra]

Ok yaah, where be these pics?

And of those 48 hours, how many were spent on SDN? Did you even leave your place?

Just kidding...at least you got some good golf in before it got chilly today. Good timing on your part. There were noticeably less people at Dominick's today compared to yesterday.

Instead of the high score being how far you made the poor sod bounce, it should be max height achieved.

My record: 202 feet high. Finally came to RIP (no mines!) 928 feet away from the cannon.
