My favourite magic box is the MALDI. Matrix Assisted Lazer Desorption Ionizer. You mix matrix with bacteria from culture on a slide. The machine fires a lazer at the slide and breaks it into ions (charged particles). They’re sucked up into a tube that measures mass/charge ratio by seeing how long it takes those particles to travel down a tube before they hit a detector (its mass spectrometry/time of flight). The signal it makes generates a fingerprint that is compared to a database… and it tells you exactly what bacteria you’ve isolated based on those fingerprints! Its the greatest invention known to man!

I know, I was just being dramatic. You can run/jog/walk right by them without issue most of the time except when chicks are nearby.

this is funny enough to let it slide just this once
I can’t eat at all when I get stressed but still feel like shit
I’m in Toronto and just wrapping up my program so I can’t really comment on that but I personally know a few male and female nurses.
I’m in a med lab program and they talk so much shit about nurses in our lectures (no offence). They even hire actors and we do conflict resolution exercises like phoning an exhausted nurse to let her know her third draw just got rejected and they need another sample or order of draw problems ect…
Theres a janitor at my work that sits in the break room all day blasting right wing tick tocks while people are on coffee break, its insanely annoying.





Thats how I feel haha! I went to school for med lab so they teach us all about fun toys for histo, micro, heme, chem, and transfusion. Theres some really cool stuff out there!
