Needle talk
I wasn't supposed to. I still have a few fake arm sticks to go. One of the instructors decided to throw me under the bus and declare me ready. I guess he was right.
Tomorrow should be fun.

I like how aside from Hu Tao and Venti, this entire gathering has gotten exceptionally awkward. I mean, Zhongli's also kinda vibin' with it, but poor Xiao. Lad looks like he's about to die of embarrassment.
The Last of Us spoilers, I guess
So, I don't really know much about The Last of Us, but, like, did they try amphotericin? Fluconazole? Voriconazole? Flucytosine? Anything? Or did they just assume that antifungals would be useless for dealing with a fungal pathogen? I mean, apparently, they decided bombing a city was a better idea than public health measures, so who knows.
You ever just hear someone remark about not getting something and light up into the biggest smile because "Holy shit! I know this! It's time!" and you know you could just launch into a massive infodump? Mom's studying for her ESL certification and she remarked about not understanding how Russian was alphabetic and I just lit up. Just, "Ooh! I know my types of script! It's time! deep inhale" That was fun. I don't get to talk about that stuff much.
Thoughts after first week of phlebotomy classes
Anyways, it is still really cool and I am really enjoying it. It's a cool field and I'm surrounded by some pretty cool folks, both instructors and classmates. Overall, I have no regrets, and if you think you're interested in going into medicine but aren't sure, a phlebotomy certification program is a pretty good way to get a foot in the door without getting too invested. Would recommend.

On the latter, there seriously is a lot. Regulations and laws; tube colours, additives and order of draw; proper procedures; different types of collection devices; different CLIA-waived tests; and I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting to mention. And I've got 8 weeks to learn it before I get thrust into a hospital to start doing it for real. Yeesh!
Thoughts after first week of phlebotomy classes
On the former, the tourniquet seems to be the bane of my existence right now. It's tricky to tie one of them things and to tie it just tight enough to restrict venous flow without just outright cutting off circulation. Also, for some reason, I always forget to undo it before taking the needle out :P
