Highlights from this day

lisbon_lot — do not reuse pins. it is not about sterility so much as the tip being blunt after one pass 21:36
lisbon_lot — the difference between 29G and 31G is real but small. the difference between wet and dry alcohol is not small 21:38
igf_one_ivy — right so bleeding a little means you nicked a small vessel. it is not a technique failure 22:12
lot_number_lou — warming the vial in your hand for a minute is the cheapest comfort improvement there is, i think 22:37
lot_number_lou — i have eight sites and an eight week rotation. it is written on the fridge 22:38
