The Stat Lab

On the internet I am known as Slip. I am a 22 year old nerdface who practically lives and breathes laboratory medicine.

This blog has a No Live Tissue policy in regards to its images. In addition, the views in this blog do not necessarily reflect those of my employers.
Lab Tests

Once upon a time, I was in a hospital that used Stago instruments for their coagulation tests and you had to sit there and uncap all the tubes and got thumb blisters. I had a student that broke two probes in 20 minutes because he kept forgetting to uncap the specimens.

And now I work in a place that has a cap piercing instrument (above) and life is good. 

Simple pleasures.

(also it is safer and not just a matter of me being lazy haha)
