How to catch a pod pixie!!!



Hooray! I finally did it! I caught a pod pixie! Most of you sceptics don't believe in pod pixies but I have finally proved they exist by catching one.

Pod Pixies are mysterious creatures that live in the pod network of the hospital. They fly up and down the pods, most of the time helping to carry the contents of the pods to their destination. They are generally happy creatures, laughing and smiling in their work.

Sometimes however, a pod pixie becomes thirsty. Tired of the work they do, they take a break. And on their break, they take a few blood samples from the pod containers and drink it to give themselves energy.

Whenever you send a blood sample to the labs via the pod system and the results arent back after a few hours and the lab denies all knowledge of recieving the sample, it is safe to assume the sample was taken by the pod pixie.

Now I have caught one and I will you how to do it!

1. Empty pod
2. A small weight
3. A blood sample with a high bilirubin level
4. A lot of patience!

Place a pod in the shoot along with a small weight at the bottom. Place the blood sample high in bilirubin within the pod. Wait for the rest of the night patiently, and when the pixie comes to pick up their beloved bilirubin - trap them!

But I felt sorry for my poor pixie that I trapped - and let it go back into the wild of the mystical maze that is the pod system!

I admit that I've never caught a pod pixie. But, I do have friends that work in the lab and in pharmacy and I've heard the horror stories of pod pixie explosions. Bummer for them.

Thanks so much for the link. I've added you to my link list as well. I'll be interested in reading more of your blog...

Oh, I'm so jealous. I wish I had seen the pod pixie. I could ask her why she also liked to borrow Xray cards and take home prescriptions as well as that fluid balance chart that Ward 30 allegedly sent me from the sixth floor last night so I wouldn't have to go up there... but which never arrived on Delivery.
Naughty pixies!
