Today, I discovered that I have developed a latex allergy. I'm a third year medical student. FML

So? Most hospitals have stopped using latex gloves, anyway.

Yaaay, nitrile! (The smell is considerably better too, and doesn't cling to your skin as much.)

Most of the medical field has quit using latex

AWWW shit, that sucks! I'm a tattooer and we use latex gloves too, it would be most annoying to develop an allergy after only a few years...luckily there are alternatives, but I would definitely be pissed! Hope you're alright and didn't have a severe sudden shock :/

it worries me this is your 3rd year & you are still so ignorant to latex free gloves...just how many other basic details have you missed?

not an fml really since most hospitals no longer use latex.
