im rewatching the scene of avery 'isolating dna' in ep14 to get a screenshot of the stupid centrifuge glorified fidget spinner to piss off my friend and......

THERES NOT EVEN A PIPETTE TIP ON THE FUCKING AUTOPIPETTE WHAT IS HAPPENING

#i hate this show #weve decided lab manager mike (most chill man ever we love) would go mental while looking at this #much like how i am currently going mental #now i know how medical doctors fee #l #doctor odyssey #lab science #lab #not science

I fear my job has made me lose sight of what other people think is normal small talk

For context, I've worked in a clinic lab (mostly Urgent Care and AH shifts) for over a year, with an Associates in Medical Laboratory Sciences. Point being, I've been doing Lab Shit for a few years and have surrounded myself with Lab People in the process.

My best friend is one of said Laboratorians I met in college, and my girlfriend loves me and puts up with my work stories. Surprisingly, though, most people don't typically talk about body fluids like. on the reg

So I'm sitting and talking with my older brother yesterday, who I haven't really been around much in day to day life since he moved out and I started university. We're talking about life and whatnot, it gets quiet for a minute, and my brain decides to throw a work story at me. Perfect, I think, this will be a great and normal thing to talk about with my brother. So I turn to him and go:

"I had a really interesting urine today."

And this man just looks at me for a second and says,

"I love that that's your version of small talk."

He did end up letting me tell him about the urine sample I worked with, but he still laughed at me over my choice of conversation topic 😭

#like brother that's far from the weirdest thing I could tell you about my job #be thankful it wasn't a stool sample story lmao #or The Worm I found #for those interested it was from a patient who used a type of cream and powder on the genital area that I want used to #so the urine looked really cloudy and had some kinda white particulate in it #which usually means there's a pretty bad UTI going on #but the dip was completely clean #and when I centrifuged it the sample looked the exact same as before #instead of everything falling to the bottom and the liquid getting clear like would happen if it was cells in there #so I'm like 'hmm. what the fuck is in here'#I get it under the microscope and it looks like a bunch of large red blood cells? and some amorphous crystal looking things #now baby powder I'm used to seeing #but this was unusual #so I call the patient in and ask if they use any powder #and they go 'no. but let me tell you what I do use“#so... mystery solved? I completed the micro to the best of my abilities and cultured it just to make sure #cause bbg I can't tell what's a cell and what's not in there #// personal #// ASC blogs... about work?#// ASC blogs at work #lab science #lab stuff #mls #medical laboratory science

i stole some cool equipment for my labs today. i'm thinking i might start a lab scrapbook with it! once i stop studying for the night, i might show you guys what i got, and what it was used for :)

there's some pretty cool junk. and the longest injection needle you've ever seen

Don’t get me wrong organic chemistry is hard as fuck but when you get to play with fire in the lab it’s all worth it.

So I started watching Star Trek: Voyager largely because my parents watched it while I was home for Christmas and I needed something to watch that was not too engaging. I got to the infamous scene I have seen screenshots of, offered as a reason Voyager is absurdly written, the "take this cheese to sickbay" moment. And I have to say, with context, it's really not that crazy. Cultured bacteria from the cheese has basically contaminated the ship. As a lab person, sometimes wild shit screws things up, especially with biology, especially with bacteria, and they established the ship runs on bio based neurogel packs. Keeping bacteria from growing in culture dishes is a constant concern in a lab. Treating the gel packs as a patient is a little silly and idk where the science department is in all this but sickbay would have antibiotics to try and kill the bacteria/study it without killing the gel packs. So the show is silly but I don't think the cheese going to sickbay is the most wild thing. It's going there to be studied, not treated.

Does make for a hilarious screen cap though.
