Dear False Positive Readers,
This is Ashley Walton, Mike’s sister and editor of False Positive. I have really terrible, awful news and a tiny bit of good news.
You might have noticed it’s been a couple years since we’ve posted anything on this website. Well, brace yourself for the saddest update I’ll ever share.
I’m sure this has got nothing to do with the plot, but dude…are those airbubbles in the syringe? That’s not a fantastically good thing.
I guess that is just light being reflected…
Supposedly you can have up to 5 ml of air injected before it becomes fatal.
That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing though, obviously, it’ll cause a blood clot quite quickly and no medic should inject air into a patient under any circumstances.
i think blood is being drawn… not an injection. maybe bubbles in the blood is part of her condition… or a reflection.
Gosh, the suspense is killing me ._.
argg! now we have to wait another week! nooooo! lol I cant wait another week to find out more… come on.. how about wednesday update huh? lol..
I just hope next week is exciting or something weird happens.. lol..
I love this webocomic! one of the best I think as far as good art and weird … I love me some weird stories..
this comic updates monday, wednesday, and friday
Boys and girls place your bets! This promises to be a good one…..
There is a genetic disease that contracts the hand. I cant recall its name but it is referred to as the “Viking disease”, because its more common in Scandinavia, and perhaps spread from there.
Anyway my dad had it, and they had to cut the tendons or something like that.
This is too normal for False Positive. It’s kinda creeping me out.
GAH! SYRINGES! THE ONLY THING I REALLY FEAR!!!!!
i’m very find of all these arts
yeah, we’re still waiting for it to go boom. and yeah air in the syringe is close to a death penalty and a suffering one too.
As to the whole air bubble thing. At the top of the left panel, the light there could be reflecting off it as doctors lamps usually have some triangular arrangement of lights don’t they?
As to the injecting/extracting, the left panel has the finger loops and the fingers positioned to inject the fluid. But in the top right panel the loops are gone and the fingers are positioned to extract fluid. In this case, presumably blood… Unless she is a robot.
And magical disappearing chopsticks.
Is it just me, or are those two different styles of syringes? The one in the first panel appears to have a total of three loops, while the second panel only has one. I’m assuming they took a blood sample in addition to injecting the contrast dye? And for everybody worried about the air bubbles, part of why you hold the syringe at a slight upward angle (in addition to it being easier to hold that way) is so any errant air bubbles can float up to the top and thus not be shoved into the bloodstream. But even if there are a few air bubbles here and there, that small an amount would not only not be fatal, it wouldn’t even hurt. (I say this as someone who has been in many a hospital bed, and many a phlebotomist’s chair, and who has had many a tiny air bubble come down the IV tube or through the syringe and not kill me).
