Title: how much blood do you have?
Post by: icespeed on March 09, 2005, 11:51:30 pm: guess what guess what!?!!!

we had a lab this morning on venepuncture, which for those of you not versed in medical jargon (or who aren't nerds/geeks/techheads) means the art of drawing blood. it's great. i passed the assessment and i get a little certificate in a few days time saying i'm qualified to work as a blood collector assuming i want to do that.

it's sooo satisfying to see that first squirt of blood into the collecting tube. *sigh*

Post by: icespeed on March 10, 2005, 02:08:28 am: hmm, i dunno.

i'm too dumb for neurosurgery, i'm too unambitious for cardiology, i'm too disgusted by urology (and gastroenterology, come to that), i don't have the patience for paediatrics, i don't like the horrible sounds you get in respiratory medicine, epidemiology is boring, i can't stop laughing at gynecology, and i'm too clumsy for obstetrics. and psychiatry's for the rejects of medicine who can't handle being with people. :p

so i guess i'll be a good old gp- general practitioner. but that's yet to be confirmed.

Hehe, so as a GP you'll see all those things first, and then refer to a specialist. :p
Great planning.

Good luck though. :)

Anyway, there's a blood donor unit outside my school right now. I'd donate but A) I'm not old enough, and B) My pet phobia is needles. I can charge down bb/paintball fire, play tackle football (as the ball carrier, no less), and brave my mother's cooking, but I can not do needles :D

And good job on the, er, certification :)

I knwo they don't hurt, but I had a huge bit of blood with a wide-bore needle (like the hole was actually visible to the naked eye) stuck into that vein that goes through your elbow joint...I still shudder thinking about it.

You LIE! But, after I faint, you can take my blood tho, it's all about seeing how long I can last. If I don't faint you are not getting a drop.:ick:
