@medlabmaria Yup that’s why the blood bank phone rings non-stop

@jaskMS3 Because as a board certified ER and Internal Medicine Physician, my husband worked 24 hour shifts, many times, especially when taking care of an unstable patient. It’s not clock in clock out in medicine

@DanielPAldrich @DrDeanKyne So it appears there is no reason to show Alaska on this map

@DeathCab4Callie Albumin is the taxi cab in our system. Without it we don’t move insulin, pharmaceuticals, and it is rapidly depleted during prolonged inflammation and won’t rise again until you are well. So if it’s below 3.0 your chances of recovery are slim

@DeathCab4Callie My undergrad degree was Medical Laboratory Science and working weekends meant I was able to support my family and my tuition was paid by the hospital I worked at. Best undergrad degree ever

@EMPAthy_atrophy At least the albumin is normal so it will carry insulin and represents a system able to respond to treatment.

@DrScottHadland @US_FDA Will you be thrilled when HIV is contracted through blood donation. I worked in transfusion medicine in 1980 and know blood banks struggled to provide safe products. Without a vaccine there is no absolute negative viral load

@RuthlessRuth15 We used our brain and trial/error

@WalshFreedom I just cannot believe with all of our senators and representatives there isn’t anyone else to run for President

[Grace Leu-Burke @gmleu]

@ShannonSkalos At least they put Alaska in the right place on the map

I vote for #29 Dunn #AlaskaAirGoals

@RodneyRohde Identified many bacterial species without MALDI. It just takes a little more thought

@AccPharmacist Always have a backup plan if this gig doesn’t work out

Raw milk tied to Shiga toxin-producing E coli cases in Tennessee infants

Both infants were sick in the summer of 2022, and their households had received raw milk from the same cow-sharing arrangement.

@Tuphlos @scopedbylarry It’s unfortunate librarian’s salaries rarely pay a living wage
