Hey everyone.
So this time I am actually going to put up a real post! OKay. I was at Women and Infants Hospital for the past two weeks. I was working in the pathology lab in the different departments. Pathology, i.e. Blood, Organs, Bodily fluids, and other cool stuff like that. The whole experience was really fascinating. I learned a lot about what goes on behind the scenes. Like on the med TV shows when some one (like House) says "Go run a full blood work up and Test for such and such" I got to see how that happens. I also worked in the family van for a day, which goes out into the community and runs free glucose and cholsterol (sp?) testing.
I enjoyed the week (except when I had to get up at 4:30 in the morning so i could follow the phlebotomist on her morning rounds. Not only did i have to wake up at a crazy time, i also had to watch her draw blood and i HATE needles). It was truly a learning experience. I am now pretty sure I do not want to be a Medical technician. However, I still love Ebola so maybe the CDC or USAMRIID has an opening...lol

P.S. the picture is a waste container that they use for dumping chemicals. I obviously played with it a little...
