I don't really see MT's getting the credit we deserve because we are never seen by the public. The only lab people that the public sees are the phlebotomists. Unfortunately, a lot of people believe that the phlebs are the ones running the tests too. And the tests, well, you just stick the tube in the instrument and walk over to the printer and report the result - what's so hard about that? LMAO. Yeah, right... no interpretation necessary. Doesn't help when TV shows like ER cut us down. In Micro, we still laugh about the episode when George Clooney gets pissed at the lab for not testing the spinal fluid for Cryptococcus and does the india ink himself and finds it in the first field!!! RIGHT!! Most docs can't even USE a microscope!

And don't even get me started on ER blaming the lab for stuff. One time the ER tried to blame us for not having the Group A Strep done on this patient and it was collected over an hour ago and she screams at me, "What's wrong with you down there?" Told her I can't run a test on a specimen that I don't have! Well, then suddenly the swab is HAND DELIVERED to us from ER and I was told that it was laying on the patients table the whole time. When the RN tried to blame the lab, the parents said, "Are you talking about that throat swab right there?" There are just too many stories just like that.

MT's did have a nice write up recently as the unsung heroes due to the Swine Flu "outbreak". I'll forward it to you if you want. Maybe if we get more exposer like that, then things will change! I really enjoy my job and am very proud of what I do because I know that without us, doctors couldn't make the correct diagnosis. It's just frustrating when you are treated like you don't know anything even though you have a bachelors degree.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. AS CHICAGO ONCE SANG: IT'S JUST ANOTHER RAINY DAY IN NEW YORK CITY. IT'S RAINED LIKE 10 OF THE LAST 12 DAYS. SHOULD BE A SUNNY WEEKEND THOUGH. 

Yes and then the DR charges 60.00 every 20 minutes,,,, Geesh,,

Well Iam off to Ice the knee, and watch Harpers Island have a great nite everyone.

It's not right.      Metallark wrote: Becks...My earlier comments were directed at the lack of recognition for MT's and lab professionals. There seems to be a focus on other medical disciplines. I' was only saying we should have our turn too. Lab work is very rewarding and worth pursuing. It is not a lame dream. It is a great one. Like I said I have been doing it for 18 years and have no regrets. It is a fact that 80% of all treatments and diagnoses are based on lab results. We make a difference. It's what keeps me going. Your positive outlook and enthusiasm will drive your success. Here's to seeing you live your dream and best of luck.      Becks wrote: LOL Metallark and HRMG, yeah trying to get in to the lab field, it's hard to break in to though which sucks, even with a degree etc. I'm trying though cos it's what I really want to do, and I don't want to give up on my dream (may sound like a lame dream but it's honestly what I want).
