Clean Blood
Good news....got my blood work back today after the needle stick incident (see below). My blood work came back fine (which I knew it would). More importantly, the patient's (who I'd used the needle on) blood work came back clean as well. So, needless to say, I'm pretty relieved.

PhotoShop Fun
As I mentioned below, I got Brandi a new camera for her birthday. She's always been a guru with PhotoShop, so I've been having her teach me a little bit. I played with this pic of Pacie in PhotoShop a bit and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out...just thought I'd share it on here.

A Few New Pics
I got Brandi a new camera for her birthday. She took it out the other day and got some pics of the kids. I think they turned out really nice. Here are a few.

Needle Stick Fun
So, I thought I went to pharmacy school. Apparently, my bosses think I am an R.N. For the past few weeks, I've been giving flu shots fast and furious. I especially love how my bosses shroud it with this whole "providing a valuable public health program to increase health" rather than calling it what it is...basically a way to make A LOT more money. And, of course, I don't get paid any more. I just get to do more work and make them more money. Can you tell I don't care for giving flu shots all that much?
Well, I REALLY hate them after today. I gave a patient a flu shot. We have these special syringes where the needle is suppose to retract up into the body of syringe after giving the shot to prevent a needle-stick injury. Well, it didn't retract and I didn't notice it. So, when I went to clean up, I accidentally got stuck with the needle.
So, I got to shut down the pharmacy for about an hour while I took a trip to the hospital to get my blood drawn. The patient who I had given the shot to also had to get her blood drawn. They'll check us both out for Hep B, Hep C, and HIV, and I'll get the results on Monday. Assuming she doesn't have it, then they'll recheck me in about 6 months just to make sure. Kind of scary, but this patient is 100% positive that they don't have any of those infections. But, we have to go through the protocol/testing to make sure.
Lots of fun...I just want to be a pharmacist. I don't need to give immunizations to feel important.
