Oh, dam, my bad. I knew that, not sure why I said BWWWell, you'll be alone. We'll be at Old Chicago.(it's in the same strip mall)
Took one more sick day, because my body isn't quite cooperating with me... maybe I'll go in later on if I feel consistently better.brent, I'll be able to make it to the BWW tonight, but I think I'm only in for wings and sports, no drinking tonight
Well, you'll be alone. We'll be at Old Chicago.

OC sounds better than BWW does right now...
Also not much in the way of drinking, but one or two beers perhaps.
Morning, Lodge. Otherwise an uninteresting day, but at least if I get plenty of rest and kick this flu, I get to go back to the UP on Thursday
Hope you feel better soon.For your sake, I hope it isn't the same *tty illness I've had. Very possibly the H1N1 piggy flu
Still in for this though

Thats how we roll!

There is the same thing (BWW and OC in the same strip mall) in Roseville at Snelling and Cty B2
(for the record, if you have a consecutive "c" and "a" in your name you may want to stay away from me: car, cat... 
). 
Let's see...no C's at all in my real name, no A's in my screen name (and no C's in my AIM name). Woo-hoo! I get to be near you!Hi, kids! Back from a great wedding, however, the car died on the way back. I'm talking D-E-D. So,
So, a surgeon *'d up yesterday and hit an artery during a procedure. That led to the transfusion of over 100 units of blood products (thankfully most of the carnage was on dayshift, though I issued 10 on mine as well). Incredibly, they had to issue over 30 units of uncrossmatched blood.
Congrats, WTW!
Yes. I always carry one with me.You need to have a Tide Stick
Hi!
Happy birthday!
So they can promptly destroy itIt requires that the car have an engine.

sorry...Yeah -- I think that an engine is a requirement, now I have to double check.So they can promptly destroy it
Yeah, the engine has to run so that they can kill it - apparently there are specific requirements as to how this is to be done, and it involves running the engine with the oil replaced by a sodium silicate solution.
Volumes on the products are given in metric units. A bag of packed red cells is a little over 300 ml, so 10 units of prbcs = 3L.Seriously though... a unit is a pint, no? As in, 100 pints meaning 50 quarts meaning 12 1/2 gallons of blood?? For the same patient???

I love engines too much, its painful to think of perfectly good ones getting destroyed.
You might be able to skate by at some dealers, who knows, but otherwise it's the scrapper, or a transplanted engine. Volumes on the products are given in metric units. A bag of packed red cells is a little over 300 ml, so 10 units of prbcs = 3L.
Note that I said over 100 units of blood products. That means we were giving a combination of packed red cells, plasma, and platelets. IIRC, the official tally for packed red cells was nearly 40 units, or about 12L.
And yes 'ewe, the emergency release was all in a row. Typically the OR wants us to stay 4 ahead. In this case, it was 10, which is insane. Assuming endless transfusion of type specific blood, staying 10 ahead represents roughly 1/4 of our inventory for a given type.
