Clots
Clots,
Why is it when I pull clots out of my patients I think it’s so fascinating. I think it’s because when I pull them out I wonder how this happens when the blood is still flowing. We use anti-coagulant liquid that mixes with the blood, but still somehow it happens so I have to take a picture of it because come on when do you really see this kind of stuff hardly ever because it’s not like it happens on the streets. I would like to use these pictures for future reference, you never know I might have look back on these pictures one day.
Another Home
Why work in a place that you can’t have fun.
Not only that I do something that I love but I have fun with the people that I work with also, even the patients say that they enjoy coming to donate, because they never know what to expect. This job is exciting you see new faces every day and also you get your regulars that come in with new stories to tell. Its like having another family that you can count on to put a smile on your face, its somewhere that when I wake up I don’t dread to go to.
People ask me “why don’t you work somewhere else where you could make way more money?” I say to them “if I could make a large amount of $$ an hour somewhere else and I don’t enjoy it why do it”. think about it, they say an average American works 85% of there life, so why work 85% of your life hating it when you can enjoy it. But I do enjoy my days off too lol. With the people that I love!
Lost Love
Her name is Wendy I finely found my true love but she was always with me in my heart. She is the one for me there would be no one else that can give me the love she gives me. She’s beautiful, kind, smart and funny she is everything that this man (me) would ever want. Wendy I found you, Love You!
The MacGyver
I love my job it’s so fun! I can all ways come up with better ways in how to set up a patients needle in how it lays and sits I’ll call it the MacGyver.
Some of my patients and fellow co-workers think its weird how I set the needle up, but I think it’s creative and it works by helping the blood flow faster by make the bevel on the needle even with the vein. Oh and by the way for who ever reads this and thinks I’m sick I’m a licensed Phlebotomist.
Mosquitoes and Paintball do not mix!
Back to paintballing. It’s been almost a year since I last played and I invited my girlfriend (Wendy) to come join us to take pictures and man it was fun, but one thing that wasn’t pleasant while playing the wonderful game of hunting people, it was being hunted by Mosquitoes!
They out numbered use by the hundreds, which I really don’t think the mosquitoes really enjoy sucking my blood I only had two hits which my friends and Wendy were eaten alive lol.
Everywhere we went the mosquitoes were there waiting for us, but like I said they didn’t bother me they just enjoyed sucking on my team members. It was quite funny to see, but luckily I told Wendy to suit up with long sleeves so she didn’t get eaten up by the little vampires as much as everybody else, she was thankful for that!
So for future reference do not play next to a pond or else you’ll be eaten by the natural little vampires!
