Obviously not, you’re pretty clearly a ninja (i think lol). Also, I’m not gonna lie, this kinda fascinates me because science, but I also have a low key medical phobia kinda thing so it squicks me out a little at the same time lol. My SO is actually a scientist as well (not medical/bio, tho, thankfully lol she’s an environmental scientist) and I love it when she talks sci to me 😂🤣 so I even recognize like all of the words you used and everything
Comment on Who is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and why is she in my toothpaste? 😡🤬😡
Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 3 weeks agolol, I guess its versatile. Red cells lyse fairly easily, if you just let them sit in water they’ll burst due to osmotic pressure (thats why we give people saline/salt water), this is just a really effective method of quickly bursting them I guess. The analyzers are pretty cool, when the dr orders a CBC/complete blood count its one instrument that measures hemoglobin, red cell indeces (red cell size, hemoglobin content, volume), platelets and a breakdown of your different white cell populations all within a few minutes. Blood is pretty cool, I’m not a vampire.

Ya theres a very specific lingo. If she’s in environmental science I’d do all the water testing or whatever for chemicals, microbes. whenever they send stuff off to “the lab”, thats me!
