"Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway"
There was a article today warning passengers not to try to retrieve their cell phone if it should fall between airline seats and to call the attendant and DO NOT move your seat (might crush the phone). Now we all know that lithium battery fires exist but other than that I guess it falls under the "It won't happen to me" category... Granted in some of the videos they intentionally triggered the explosions, but I've left the phone and or laptop in the (hot) car before as well as on permanent charge, but I guess I'll be more careful now. Haven't decided if I need to keep a bucket o' sand handy, though.
Russian? "scientists"

I've wondered when they take all those tubes of bloods during a draw, how much is REALLY required and used? Do they use a tenth of it and toss the rest? I mean don't they squirt the sample in the "Bloodzilla 9000" machine and out pop the results? Last time I got a draw and asked, the phlebotomist didn't know, care or divulge.

Remember Theranos's Finger-Prick Blood Tests? These Firms Have Brought Elizabeth Holmes' Failed Dream To Life
Despite the controversy surrounding Theranos and its founder Elizabeth Holmes, the demand for less invasive and quicker alternatives to standard blood draws persisted.

It depends on what you are testing for and who you are testing. Then again if it's a critical level draw someone who knows will be doing the draw and it usually occurs in an advanced care setting such as NICU where we sometimes measured in gtt (gutta or drops) and you will never see a vacutainer used, it's all syringe or port draws.I've wondered when they take all those tubes of bloods during a draw, how much is REALLY required and used?

I've needed some clothes repaired for a while. Stuff where iron on patches and hand stitching won't quite cut it, needs a machine but BB don't want to pay a tailor for repair so the stuff just sits. Lo and behold our local library has sewing machines for loan! Been a while since I used a Singer...
Those are really good machines but don't you need to take your clothes there to work on them? I would imagine a loaner would look more like this:

My mom had a very similar machine. It was fascinating to watch her use the foot crank at various speeds and stitch things together. I was always too afraid to get too close as I imagined the needle going right through my nail and finger...

Depending on the tests your care provider has ordered each vial will have a different preservative, catalyst or something else to make the sample ready for the lab. Compared to a blood donation of 500ml it's not all that much to lose. At least they only have to poke you once to take as many vials as they need. I donated 46 times so far and would have been over 100 by now but it's a 5 hour drive to a clinic for me since moving north almost 24 years ago. The needle used for that is a lot bigger than ones used for a blood draw.I've wondered when they take all those tubes of bloods during a draw, how much is REALLY required and used?
