lol... (^_^) fallout's a uk boy, if his allergies are bad enough he can goto the doc and get it free ... if they're not he pays just like the rest of us.

kinda extorionate last time i checked - like what £2.90 for a packet of Hayfever tablets, or like £4 for a nasel spray ...
only allergies i've got is to Aloevera, its the only thing which will set me off in a rash ... not an ichy rash just a rash and it looks pretty icky. Wouldn't be so bad but recently they've been putting the stuff into bloody everything - driving me insane, have to sit there and read packets just to find out if i can get it or not, else i'll look like a lobster.

[edit-]
to that point though, does anyone else feel like their in a supermarket when then have to hand over thier insurance card?

to me it feels like i've just gone into a shop and i'm paying for something like groceries, growing up in the uk you'd just walk into the hospital say you've got something wrong with you and take a number (i hear the watford branch has that literally now lol) ...
here though, have to had over valid insurance, pay the excess if it doesn't cover it, write out a few forms for seemingly irrelivant stuff. I dunno just seems like a performance at times.

still don't have a GP cause i dunno what they'd have me fill in and hand over and such - kinda confuses me the whole dang system.

Yeah, over here it's all free, except presciptions. Prescriptions are £5, no matter what. So if they prescribe you super expensive mega life restoring drugs that cost a trillion pounds to even think about making, they cost £5, and if they prescribe you a malnourished leech to stick on your nuttsack, you pay £5. Hayfever drugs in the supermarkets are about £5 at the moment for 7 days worth of pills. At least on prescription, your fiver gets you about a months worth.

Ooooooookay then. I have a thunder bug BEHIND the cover of my plasma screen. It's literally behind it, so I cant scrape it off. It must be right at the back somewhere, cos I cant even squash it, but I can see it. How messed up?

Ok, back to hayfever. Pills do a little. They stop the eyes itching. Decongestant does absolutely bugger all. I think I'm immune to that, if its possible. I used it way too much a few years a go and sinse then it hasnt made the slightest difference. Oh well.

As for the alcohol debate that kinda started and then stopped. I agree - I dont want to go out every night - I like evenings to myself, and I like evenings in. By saying Uni being one big social event I meant that you constantly go into uni and mix with people of your own age and have a laugh, as well as live with people of your own age, without the responsibility of jobs, and with a fair amount of drinking etc etc.

Right, my mate has just got a new car. I'm off to check it out!

I have to say, I've never been to Manchester in the UK, but sinse they had armed police patrolling certain areas with machine guns (not sure if they still do) I figure those areas are pretty bad. hehe. This the UK for christ sake. That's not supposed to happen here. Less gun crime, and just plenty of good old fashioned stabbings.

Here we go...
If anyone doesn't think I'm really a girl, just call my work and talk to me.
You can get all the info here...
http://www.aticareertraining.com/campuses.html

I work at the one in Hurst Texas.
Just call that number 6pm - 8pm, US central time, and ask for...
Randi, the instructor assistant in the medical lab class.
Most people know who I am, but their may be a few who do not.
Plus their are many students that they might get confused with.

Of course I work more than 2 hours, but the office isn't open past 8pm.

That's the best I can do in proving who and what I am.
So...
If yoiu don't believe, than too bad.

By the way, I see why girls don't stay very long around these forums.

Dont be so nieve!!!! That's Raven locking them up in his dungeon. At night when they log off from the computer, he kidnaps them and locks them away. Giving out your contact details was a big mistake. I'll try and stop him, but I think you'll find yourself on the end of some chain shackles this time next week .....

I may be a sex crazed vixon, (not really it's a joke)
but I have a tendency to cry.

Any way...

Want to learn medical abbreviations?
What does this say?

1 tab po c aq pc tid prn

and this...

2 gtt OD bid QOD et ss tab alt dieb


I'm sure you don't care, but humor me and pretend you do.
I'll give you a hint. They are instructions on taking medicine.


Want to know a really long medical word?

Laparosalpingo-oophreohysterectomy

What does that mean?

laparo = abdomen
salpingo = fallopian tubes
oopher = ovaries
hyster = uterus
ectomy = removal of

So it's the removal of the fallopian tubes, ovaries, and uterus through the abdominal wall.

Ok... their is your medical lesson.
I know your just so happy now.

orchiectomy

It's something dear to every man getting chopped off and laughed about by a load of female surgeons? - if it is, please don't talk about that stuff, men like to think nothing will ever happen to their genetalia.

I believe your a woman Randi, no man would bring the slightest hint of knacker damage into this discussion.

Pure truth. I might mention the odd knee to the groin to pass the time, but even I would never start a conversation involving a scalpel and a nuttsack. :-s

Btw, the best way to answer Randi's nasty medical questions is using google or something. So I tapped it into google, knowing what to expect, but I didnt think the little bastards would be so insensitive as to put this picture at the top of the bloody page


Seeing as we're talking complete jargon then, who actually knows what "one ti'spatial'quest selecta-don brock-out upun deez digs"

"one ti'spatial'quest selecta-don brock-out upun deez digs"

The sentence makes no sense, but it appears to be:

"One to spatial quest selector, done broke out upon these digs"

Some spatial quest selector has vandalised someones home. It's a sad state of affairs, the amount of selectors going around breaking stuff and hitting people (one time). I'll never understand jive.

rofl!!!

Ok, I'm blatenly talking crap, but here we go -
"one ti'spatial'quest selecta-don brock-out upun deez digs"

One to the special request selecter done brock-out up in these digs.

One to = a big up or respect
Special Request = is requested track
Selecter = DJ, as they select tracks.
brock-out = is a dancefloor mash up
digs = place

Roughly translated to:

Respect for the track chosen by the DJ that totally rinsed up the venue.

I did totally talk absolute shite there.

HEHEHE... I figured you guys wouldn't care too much for that word.


Funny how their isn't words that make women quiver.

Their is a word called...
colpectomy

Which is the removal of the vagina.
But you never see it. Very Very rare.

And mastecteomy
removal of the breast.

But I used to work for UNT-surgery and I stood in on a mastectomy surgery once.
Not something I would want to have, but it doesn't make me cringe.

And by the way...
A little known fact:
Guys can get breast cancer too.

There's a word(s) in Scotland that can make women cringe 'Smear Test'. Damn they hate that! . I don't think Randi understands what goes through a mans mind whenever groinal injuries are suggested. I mean, I cringe when my son swears in public - when I watch a skateboarder split himself on some railing, It feels like someone is twisting my guts through a mincer. It's a very primal defense mechanism I think. I can't watch that episode of Jackass where Johnny is getting kicked with the cup on.

'Smear Test'
I guess that's a Pap Smear. Those are not the funnest things in the world, but they are vital.
I'd rather get a Pap than a mammogram any day.
Having your breast squashed hurts.

Hot Waxxing
Doesn't bother me. But I sugar wax.

"Twisted Clitoris"
Strange, but no effect on me.
I always thought that clitoris sounded like a car.
'Honda Clitoris'

"Anal sex"
I best keep my mouth shut.

"Unwanted Pregnancy"
Yes... now your getting some where.


"Extra Marital Affair"
Not married.

I got the best of both worlds this week, facing a door and closing it and I did'nt notice my thumb was at the hinge side - nearly got it closed until I realised that crunch was my thumb. That's when it hurt . I always look away when getting injections, I'm fine as long as I don't see it disapear 2 inches into my flesh .

lol... i don't mind needles, or knives, or anything like that
there's only like 2 things i'm sweemish about, scrapey sounds like nails that haven't been clicked propler that strape against things and very confined spaces.

I have extreme clostrophobia, i went potholing once which was alot of fun thought i'd get over it ... but its a weird clostrophobia because its not being confined in a tight space that really bothers me much but having my head confined - like tied down or something like that, scares the living bejeezus outta me

And of course it had to be you.
Surprise - surprise

Van B
Ouch... poor guy!
I always look away when getting injections, I'm fine as long as I don't see it disapear 2 inches into my flesh
2 inches... no... just 1 1/2" for the hip and 1" for the arm.
Unless you are real fat.
Then it's can go up to 3".
I had to give this guy that weighed 408lbs a shot the other day.
And of course it was in the hip. (vomit)
I really didn't know where to put it.
You normally put your index figer on the hip bone on the side, and your thumb on the butt bone...
and the injection goes right between there.
But I just guessed on this guy.

I suppose that must be one of the downsides to being a nurse - all the freaks you have to deal with .

I donate blood every 6 months or so, I can't look at that either, it's almost worse because in Britain, the blood bank is pretty basic - we get a cup of tea and a cookie instead of a nice cheque like in America - but it's like they bought all these second hand cholostomy bags and were stuck for a use. Whenever I imagine injections, I remember these 6 injections in the butt I had when I was about 8, alergic to penicillan so had these real nasty jabs - I remember them as being a lot longer than 2"!.

hey Randi do you have Yahoo! on autoinvisible?
its just i'm forever seeing you log off - but you never seem to log on

Quote: "I donate blood every 6 months or so, I can't look at that either, it's almost worse because in Britain, the blood bank is pretty basic "

ya know i've only donated blood once, and i ended up getting some test results sent back to me i didn't know about - aparently i was suppose to be checked out for any possible blood/heart conditions, and some mumbo jumbo medical term means i shouldn't be allowed to give blood to anyone
all to do with some condition i had when i was a baby, which i didn't know about but then no one tells me anything - they expect me to be bloody psychic or something lol

only problem i've gotta say i have with getting injections is most nurses don't know howto give them, then end up scraping the bone - god that just sends a shiver right down my spine

Now you've done it...

When I was a kid, I landed on a sewing needle that was on my parents bed (for some reason) - it stuck into my ankle, left about 5mm that wasn't imbedded. I thought, ohh great - major emergency and tommorow I don't have to go to school. So I got taken to casualty (AE), and waited about 2 hours, then a doctor with cold hands came over and yanked it out with a pair of manky pliers!.

Did'nt hurt until he got the pliers.

"Unwanted Pregnancy"
Yes... now your getting some where.

Raven, think it through my man! Unwanted Pregnancy? And it aint yours?? Time to rejoice my brother!!! No child maintenence payments for me!!! Go get yourself some government funding bitch cos I'm outta here!!! Fancy trying to tell me that was my kiddy when I was also so conscientious about the application of my willy hats!

hehehehe.

Oooo ...I shudder at thought of you guys giving blood. Raven and Van B, giving a coupla pints now and then. I bet the quality meter reads "low". Probably just about good enough to wash ya boots with. I have to admit, I've never given blood ......... but nobody ever asked me for it! If I was walking down the road and there was some blood giving clinic, I'd probably drop in unless I'd previously been stabbed or something (then I'd probably need the blood I had left).

Those two pints or whatever they take though. Your body must miss it. I mean, actually, what would happen if you got in an accident the same day. I bet those two pints would be the difference between your life and death. I bet if I gave blood on tuesday, and cut my self shaving on wednesday morning, I'd be dead long before I made it to the telephone to call for help.

Who's fault would that be???

If you cut yourself shaving right after giving blood, cold air comes out instead. Makes a hissing sound PSSSSSSSSSSS.

You often feel a bit drowsy - tired, like you had a couple of pints with lunch, not ill though. You arent allowed to operate machinery of drive heavy goods vehicles or passenger vehicles after donating.

The most off-putting thing, despite the ugly volunteer nurses and the cheap atmosphere, is the fact that they give you a rolled up paper towel and ask you to squeeze it, get every last drop of blood ehh?

That's an idea. Maybe if the nurses were fit, more people would give blood.


....

... they could kill two birds with one stone and make it a sperm donar bank as well.


...

hehe. I'm terrible.

Go get yourself some government funding bitch cos I'm outta here!!! Fancy trying to tell me that was my kiddy when I was also so conscientious about the application of my willy hats! "


lol, well i guess for most guys its like "WOOHOO! It ain't mine!" ... but i mean like think about it for a second mate, you get told and first your like
"crap, i'm gonna have a kid" then you move onto, "man, how am i gonna support everything ... where will we live" ... then you get onto stuff like "am i gonna be a good father? what kinda things should i get for everything"

i mean once you actually come to terms with the fact you'll have a lil you running around its crushing as hell first of all to hear, "you remember that 2weeks away in Nigera?" ... and then the doctor confirming that it wasn't mine god talk about crushing

then just as i come to terms with all of that she decides to just get rid of it - poof! - i know it weren't mine and really didn't have a say or anything and it would've be hard to have a knipper about ... but that just broke me ya know.

lol its funny i'd of thought that like someone saying "false alarm" or having it aborted would've like seemed like a big weight lifted. But like i really just liked the idea, and the thought of it ... i kept getting told "you'll resent that kid for what it represents", but i don't think i would've.
and it certainly as hell felt that i'd lost someone very dear to me.

(^_^) oki sorry for lowering the level, i'll get back to making lude joke in a min. like erm...
why do blonde buy thier knickers from C&A?

so they know which way round they go on

I donate blood every 6 months or so, I can't look at that either, it's almost worse because in Britain, the blood bank is pretty basic - we get a cup of tea and a cookie instead of a nice cheque like in America
It's good that you donate blood, but they sure use a big gauge needle.
It's a 16 gauge, and that's huge!
But I don't know where you get paid to donate blood. Key word there is DONATE.
I have never been paid.
You get juice and cookies and that's it.
And their are these mobile units that come around.

And you are constantly making blood.
Your blood gets replentished pretty fast.
Your red & white blood cells are constantly dieing and you make more.

And if a nurse hit a bone with a needle on me...
OOOH! They are going to be in trouble!!

And Raven... I always logg-in, on yahoo, in invisible mode.
But then I change it if I want to talk to people.

Well Randi, I just added you to my yahoo thing and made you an offer you can't refuse!!

Raven, that is a sad story, but I will not lighten the mood with the following little dance -

<dances><dances><dancing><dance><dancing><dance>

I love the telephone.
-2 days a go I used the telephone for find out about products I need to buy from companies I have no intention of buying them from.
-Yesterday I spoke to the inland revenue and successfully claimed £700 in tax back.
-Today I spoke to my bank and negotiated an extension of my overdraft.
-Tomorrow I will phone the queen, because all british people know the Queen personally, didn't you know?

@ Fallout
If you added me to your yahoo I should have got a notice with the option to accept or decline, and I didn't ever get that.
Something must have went wrong.
And I am dieing to know what your "offer you can't refuse" is.

@ Raven
I have a feeling the gauges might be different with guns.
If you know anything about body piercing, they use the same gauge system.
The higher the number, the smaller the needle.
Injections are usually done with a 25 gauge needle.
Phlebotomy is usually done with a 20 gauge needle.
And when you donate blood it's 16 gauge.
When dealing with blood the bigger the needle, the better.
For one thing you want it to flow fast and it also helps to keep it as whole blood.

A 16 gauge is like a nail!
