Question:

Is it out of the ordinary for a blood lab to not have gloves on when they gauze your arm after drawing blood?

I had blood drawn today at the lab at my doctor's office. The person that drew the blood wore gloves but then she had an assistant come by and put the gauze and tape on without wearing gloves. I asked if she should be wearing gloves and she says that she didn't wear them because they'd stick to the tape and that she didn't actually touch the blood so it's ok. I just wanted to make sure in other's experiences that is normal. I'm always paranoid about getting STDs. Thanks!

Answer:

Think out-side the box, the drains are easy, just some schedule 40 PVC of the proper diameter, a Fernco fitting or two, and some elbows, (make sure you keep a good slope on the section leading from the trap to the existing drain line). As far as supply lines, get some dishwasher supply lines, they are available up to 8' long, and have essentially the same ends (fittings) as faucet supply lines. They are completely flexible, permanent, no different than what is there, just longer, can be neatly routed along the back of the vanity, from the shut offs to the new sink location. any number or retaining clips could be used for this step, (1/2 conduit clips spring to mind). No sweating of pipes, no moving shut offs, etc. and your off and running for about 30 bucks. Good Luck!
i would suggest you take a picture or two of your existing piping, measure the sizes of the pipes, take pictures and measure the new pipe connections and take them to a hardware store and show them what you want to do. hope that helps.

when installing office 2007 if you choose the option to do a custom install you will be able to select which applications in office 2007 you want to install and which you don't. So when you gt to that just choose to install Access and not the others.
If it is hard wired then it doesn't have batteries. I'm not sure about hard wired smoke detectors but hard wired co detectors beep when the scencing part of the unit needs to be replaced.
