I went to the nursing home located just a short walk from the hospital I work in. The weather was great so I thought it would be a great way to enjoy a little break from the monotony while getting a little bit of sunshine! The draw is for two patients. One is a new… Continue reading Quick Change

When I was at the blood bank, we had to do a stint in the donor clinics. One day a very "manly" gent came up to front desk and was visibly distraught as he couldn't get past the initial hemoglobin screening to donate. He was anemic. He lamented, "I just don't understand this, how can… Continue reading No Way He’s Anemic

One Sunday morning my Coulter S was not feeling well. I've tried everything I can, including some very negative words. No luck. Called service - on his way. Walked over and kicked the generator out of frustration. Started right up! When service got there, he was amazed and asked how I fixed it. When I… Continue reading Kickstarting It

I was once drawing blood on a patient when a strung out intern came up and started talking to the patient in the next bed in the room. He said, "Mr. John Doe?" "I am." said the patient. The doctor said, "When you came in through the ER last night, you said you have been… Continue reading Fresh Stab Wounds

You know that absorbent pad that comes inside biohazard specimen bags? We know they're meant to absorb spilled specimens in the bag. Guess this patient had a different idea.

A tech brings me all of our vaginal swabs and asks me which one of these is for the "Pocahontas" test. I said, did you say Pocahontas test? She doubles down and says, yeah.

Some stories embarrassing as heck but to us, it's a good way to destress and have a few laughs. It was a typical day working in the… Continue reading Unusual Play Thing

I was drawing blood on a lady a few years back. When I finished and was wrapping her arm up, I asked her what color coban she wanted. She told me, "Red, because it matches my panties." I almost died laughing !! 🤣🤣🤣 Submitted by:Jules SpadoforaPhlebotomistUSA

I went to the employee restroom to pee, because someone was already using the lab restroom. When I went in, it was pretty obvious that someone had pooped in there, and the smell was just lingering. I actually had to hold my breath while peeing; and had to hurry and washed my hands as fast… Continue reading Wrongfully Accused

Another funny and memorable story from one of my many nursing home draws. I have to draw a patient in the memory wing of the nursing home next door. For those who are unfamiliar, the memory wing houses patients in need of specialized attention because of late stage dementia. I walked in, introduced myself, and… Continue reading Would You Want This?
