Dr. Pepper 912 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Thank you Mari. Regarding #47, it is first on my list of blood bank skills that will be useless in my retirement (coming within the year I might add): being able to reach into a sleeve of 12 x 75 tubes and grabbing exactly 12 more times than not (and also knowing you've got one too many or too few).
