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!
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.
