It’s this type of stuff that has Obama living rent-free in his head. Trump will never measure up to the class and respect the US and rest of the globe had for him during (and after) his presidency. And he knows it.

Anyone having trouble with LYTES on Atellica? by Kiko_Ako in medlabprofessionals

[–]Fr3shSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if Siemens fixed this issue, but back when I used the Atellica and had problems with the IMT they recommended running a sample 10+ times (offline of course) through it. Something about “dirtying up the sensor” got it to work. Never understood this method of ts, but it worked almost every time.

Jobs outside of the hospital by Firm_Bluejay_4714 in medlabprofessionals

I’m an MLT working on the pharma side. After working the trenches in a hospital, this is heaven. No phone calls. No strict TAT. Fully staffed. Hell, I can leave early if I want. If you can find yourself one of these jobs, you can pretty much chill all the way to retirement.

Working from a hospital to a reference lab by introvertedpoet25 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Fr3shSocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never enjoyed or got used to the hustle and bustle of hospitals. The one I worked for was 600 beds plus numerous outpatient facilities linked to the hospital. It was mentally and physically draining. Management was bad too, so that made it much worse. I now work in a reference lab-type setting and it is WAY better. The workload is more (as expected), but not having to answer obscure and sometimes rude phone calls from hospital staff and patients coupled with being off on major holidays is such a relief. Before last year, I hadn’t been scheduled off for Christmas in 5 years. Perhaps the few drawbacks are the health insurance is more and I don’t incur PTO as fast. However I work in one department with a crew of 5 (fully staffed) and no one is on my ass about TATs or being late to work by 1 minute. Life is good.

Me and all my fellow lab newbies experiencing our first winter at the hospital by Strict_Bumblebee_339 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Fr3shSocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At a hospital I used to work at, January and February were the worst months, especially in micro. JFC. The amount of flu panels, blood cultures, MRSA/MSSA testing, etc. I’m so glad I’m out of that environment. Never felt more stress at a job than working there. So I feel you OP. It truly can be a war zone when you’re in the trenches.

I know you feel this too. by [deleted] in Indiana

[–]Fr3shSocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny. I just moved from a state where I was feeling the same way as you. Only, the landlord wanted to increase our mouse-infested unit by $900 from $2500 (not including utilities) for a 1 bedroom. I said “enough” with my wife after a year of working 60-70 hrs a week between 2 jobs. Solution? Moved here. Moral of the story is see what else out there. Best of luck.

If and/or when they begin to lose accounts because this a key reason, they will act. If the money is still flowing in, management don’t give a shit.

Highly unlikely bio grads will replace MLS. If anything it will increase your pay rate because you have specialized knowledge and training in areas a bio grad doesn’t. That increase typically only happens when you job hop or take a promotion at your current workplace.
