Today, I had an allergy test. Not only was I allergic to 35 out of the 40 items, they also found out that I'm allergic to the latex gloves my doctor happened to be wearing. Now my entire back is covered in a rash that will last at least another week. FML

Today, after 3 years of studying to be a veterinarian, I found out I may not be able to continue. It's not because I'm failing my classes, but because my body has developed an allergy to cats. FML

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

use the latex free ones, if your smart enough to get into med school then you don't deserve for it all and te money to go to waste :)

A lot of hospitals are latex-free zones now anyway and use neoprene gloves simply because latex allergies are extremely common. Also, wouldn't you have noticed it sooner if it's your third year?

Derp, reread it and noticed "developed". regardless, neoprene!

My dad is allergic to latex and he's been a dentist for over 20 years. There are alternatives on the market as far as gloves go at least. You should look into that.
