  • We're regulated health professionals, its like how we can't work on a family member or friend, it introduces bias. Its just the law and I understand why. I don't think doctors can self-diagnose either, they need an appointment for someone else to do it just like everyone else.

  • no in med lab its super illegal to perform diagnostic tests on your own samples, you have to jump through the same hoops as everyone else and trust the system to handle it. In research/experiments its a little more relaxed.

  • I spent years in a research path core and am just wrapping up my med lab certification, it amused me when they hired actors to come to our program and we role-played dealing with angry pathologists, fuming nurses ect... Most of my clients have been MSc students or MD/PHD conducting research. they might be experts in their field and conduct these brilliant studies then stumble right at the finish line because sample collection was bungled or something ruined during extraction. I've seen some "interesting" DIY fixation and processing protocols to save a little money that did the same thing. I always feel so bad but most people are willing to learn and work with us.

  • I'm in pathology (research, transitioning to medical) so that was my frame of reference here. Its my job take the samples given to the lab and turn them into slides for analysis but tue results are only as good as what I'm given in the first place (crap in, crap out). same with blood draws, urines, anything improperly collected no longer properly represents the thing it came from. Then I have to tell the client that...

  • If its medical I'm pretty sure its illegal to work up your own samples. if its research... why not?

  • lab techs hate improperly collected samples. The people who collect those samples often in turn hate lab techs.

  • I "hacked" my wii to get free games one time does that count? other than that I can operate most devices but I have no idea how to code and don't have time to learn. I'd put myself at a 6/10.

  • In general Its nearly impossible to do vegan microbiology, everything contains animal products. mouse/goat/rabbit antibodies, bacterial culture plates require nutrients and they're usually sheep or horse blood-based. Even cell cultures are technically live organisms, but so are plants I suppose.

  • formic acid is also a rapid fixitive and decalcifier. We use it to treat bones to make them softer for histology so we can slice them into 4um cross sections (thats how microscope slides are made, then we stain them with pretty colours)

  • I don't do tobacco, I just don't like it and the adverse health effects are well documented.

    I do weed occasionally on weekends to relax, I'll mix things up between a dry flower vape (Pax) and edibles.

    I also drink on weekends for the same reason, relaxation. I usually have a set amount in mind then stop for the evening and switch to tea. I only get stupid a few times a year with friends.
