Blood test… done ✅
Still alive.
I’ll take that as good news 😆
(I hate blood tests, that’s why I’m joking about it)

@stefano

IMHO medical tests (apart obvious things as X-rays) must be repeated a dozen of times, to have an "average" value: a single sample point is not enough to extrapolate a trend curve!

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@GustavinoBevilacqua i know. In fact this is the second check in a few months, to see the trend

@stefano

My first career in life was medical technologist - performer of clinical lab tests. I love blood tests and especially other tests for tiny microorganisms. Can you still like me?

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@ajlewis2 Of course I do! My father (now retired) has been doing and analyzing blood for 42 years.

@stefano hah, there are definitely times I wish they could just do a blood-draw from a shaving nick rather than doing needle-insertion.

Glad you survived the ordeal ☺

@gumnos exactly. Or with some sort of infrared cameras

Being alive is an integral part of enjoying a dish of ragù bolognese, so not bad at all

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@angel exactly. Being alive means enjoying ragù. And pizza. And tiramisu. And so on
