i was in lab today and we were learning how to use nebulizers & MDIs, etc. at the end of lab i go down to the front by the teacher & some other students to listen in b/c i apparently was the only person who forgot we had lab today and came in late so i wanted to hear what he sayin to catch anything i could have missed..
so the lecturer has MDIs and nebulizers and stuff and this girl beside me is like what do you put in the nebulizers? he picks up a pak of ampules and is like "see this? you just pull 1 off and squeeze off the top like so (he squeezes off the top) and then you walk over to the nebulizer and you just put it in the machine right here (he puts it in the machine)"...
THEN, HE SAYS "KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS REAL ALBUTEROL SULFATE I PUT IN THERE."
see, in most labs we use water or something like that to simulate the drug - we don't use actual drug. he had actual drug.
he says "you plug in the machine, flip the switch on, and see how it comes out." ACTIVE ALBUTEROL SULFATE BEGAN MISTING OUT OF THE INHALER AND HE'S POINTING IT AT ME!!! CLOSE RANGE MIND YOU. so i'm like holding my breath and about to choke & as my face is about to turn blue he turns it around and he goes "and see you just inhale it like this for 8 minutes" and the guy starts inhaling this stuff like Whoa.
interesting experience to say the least. especially since in lecture before that he talked about the cardiac side effects of albuterol.
so anyway, i've been very busy studying lately. it's all been biopharmaceutics & i totally am having a tough time understanding the math. it starts out with advanced calculus & moves into more complex stuff. it starts out with advanced calculus & moves into more complex stuff. it starts out with advanced calculus & moves into more complex stuff. =()
so yeh...you can imagine. and on top of that, i haven't felt good since friday. i've had muscle aches all over and no other symptoms. so i've been studyin' and popping Motrin & Tylenol for lots of hours a day and night. fun...
and i haven't talked to my secret girlfriend in like a week so i'm kind of down. i don't think she cares much about me. i love that! haha...
ok, i must studeeeee now. latA.
