Facebook Feedback: Injuries and Holidays
If you're
not following us on Facebook,
you're missing a lot of fun feedback. If you are, keep following and spread the
word! The conversations are far from over.
We asked Facebook fans: Have you ever been injured on the job?
Here are
selected responses, copied verbatim without editing:
- Yes, and
it hurt. Dropped an 8' I beam on my shoulder from a roof hoist 7 or 8 feet
off the floor.
- Although,
now that I think about it, your probably referring more towards a lab
injury and not something from my old job...
- Yes
- Just my
ego....but that's a good thing! It's always good to be reminded that you
don't know as much as you might think. I love working in the laboratory!
- yes
- More like
exposed more than actual injury - Brucella from a knee fluid- wasn't
really expecting that & had to go on the prophylactic antibiotics for
a couple of weeks.
- Yes.
Tripped, fell on out-stretched arm, which caused an impaction fracture of
my humerus. Watch your step.
- Does a
papercut count? :)
- I cut
myself with a scalpel when I was getting ready to cut up a heart valve for
culturing. Luckily I hadn't used it yet and it was sterile. I bled
copiously and had to go the ER.
We also asked Facebook fans: How do you stay sane during the holidays? Or do you?
- wine.
- I think
about the things that are important, laugh at the people who praise the
things that arn't, and make mead.
- Study
more.
- meds
- my
son....he keeps me going n going n going..:-)
- Remember
that christ is the real reason for christmas, focus on spiritual gifts and
family w/o getting caught in the hype. Give from the heart all year long
and don't feel pressured to give more just b/c the calender says so.
- When I go
Christmas shopping I put myself into 'slow down and smell the roses' mode.
I take my time looking at things and refuse to let the impatient people
get to me.
