The Biohazard Waste Disposal Shed.
Lets take a tour, shall we. Mayo Clinic Hospital Arizona is a beautiful facility on the desert-scape, focused on developing the latest in technology. One such development is our soon to be constructed proton beam. This beam will need to be buried 6 stories below ground level. As a result, you walk to the back of the hospital and there's this giant, desolate looking crater. Right at the edge of this crater is a huge chain link fence at least two stories tall. Its covered with a dark green fabric and locks and chains. There are two signs on the entrance; one says DANGER and the other says PELIGRO. You almost expect to see barbed wire and pit bulls as you wait for security to come unlock the main gate. You see, biohazard waste disposal is a dangerous activity. Not as dangerous as say insulting Chuck Norris, poking a sleeping grizzly or milking a rattle snake, but dangerous none the less.
You approach a metal shack with even more danger signs, biohazard symbols, NFPA chemical hazard diamonds, etc. There's a light switch on the outside of the building that you MUST remember to flip on and you MUST remember not to shut the door behind you. You see, the door will automatically lock and then you'll be trapped in the shack with barrels of hazardous waste. One lady got locked in there for an hour before she was rescued. True, after the incident they installed a phone and set up a buddy system but it would still be a long wait if you didn't remember to turn the lights on before entering and then you're stuck waiting in the dark.
Do you believe in ghosts? There is a ghost who I believe haunts our hospital. His name is Dr. Watson. Sometimes I'll be entering results into our new computer program and things will freeze up, automatically shut down, and then a little window will open up stating some jargon about Dr. Watson... I am convinced that since all the doctors and their staff are far too clever to be ordering patients incorrectly, that Dr. Watson must be infiltrating the system as a poltergiest. He's like the Harry Potter's Jeeves character of the hospital. If anything goes wrong with any laboratory procedures or with any computer system, Dr. Watson is to blame.
So I am convinced that if I was ever to get locked in the biohazard shed alone that Dr. Watson would unleash his full wrath. I'd put on my face shield, lab coat, gloves, apron, etc. but that would only do so much if those barrels exploded and then something would happen like....
THIS!!!
or like THIS!!!
But most likely THIS since the main chemical in those bins is methanol which is highly flammable.... The whole Two Face thing would probably only be the result of acid waste and the whole Alex Mack thing the result of radioactive chemicals.
Moral of the story:
Jill will not dispose of Biohazard Waste alone... EVER!!!
