The Sneak Peek Fiasco 🤣

Blanch

Sooooo I got my sneak peek and collected my sample today. For those of you that don't know you have to do a finger stick and fill this little vial full of blood. Seems simple right? Hahaha. Well leave it to me. So I prepare my collection area, clean my hands, scrub my nails, place the tourniquet on my wrist, clean my finger tip with the alcohol swab, prick my finger annnnd nothing. So I start squeezing my finger and blood starts to come out so I push my finger against the vial and a big drop settles at the top of the entrance. It's effectively created a bubble that cannot be popped basically sealing the top of the vial. I decide I should just squeeze harder. So I do. Blood going everywhere but in the vial. I mean everywhere, it's literally gushing out and I'm afraid to take the tourniquet off because I'm afraid of contamination. I kept at it until I filled it up almost to fill line after a ridiculous amount of time and I pray it's enough. Lol. I got more blood on the floor and table then anything. SMH.
