Give Me...Blood Culture Bottles!!!

MET call today in the psychogeri ward. Patient febrile; septic. 18G IV access, drew 20 mL of blood.

"Quick, give me a red top,, purple top and blood culture bottles"

Silence...

Then I get handed the blood tubes but...no blood culture bottles.

"Um...no culture bottles?"

Response from the intern, "这里很参的啦,什么都没有."

OK...no blood culture bottles, even on the crash cart? WTF?? T_T
