    The feelings of other people cannot be a non-factor if other people are involved in killing you.

    Because ultimately you’re saying that it should be legal, and if you want it to be legal you’re going to need them to agree with you because they will never make it legal otherwise.


  • So I’m a relatively new tech. I’ve been finished school and working for <1 year, and really haven’t seen anything collected too horribly (so far). As far as poor collections go, the worst I’ve seen has been some leaky blood gasses, or a loose cap on a urine cup.

    But, our lab did receive a venous blood gas that was drawn from a penis fairly recently (a penis blood gas, ha!) I happened to be coming in for an evening shift when my colleague was calling to ask the charge nurse about the crazy results (person had an erection for way past 4 hours) and I heard her go, “Hi, I’m calling about a blood gas we received for [patient] … wha … OH!”
