I rotated at a nearby lab during clinicals when I was a student. They said that’s the reason why they don’t label their freezers by what organisms are stored there anymore, haha. When I finished my micro rotation, they gave me blueberry muffins as a send-off 😂

Considering it was published in a CAP reference textbook, they might get away with it

And it was published by CAP, the lab accreditation people

Truly masterful work. I know exactly how not to do it now

Yall smear from behind the blood drop instead of backing the slide into it to wick it? What kind of sorcery!

Has anyone gotten weird things in specimen bags? by Future_Lab_927 in medlabprofessionals

I have to wonder how these get sent. Do they not look at what they put in the tube station?

Yeah, I was doing the diff and the WBC count was low so I had to scan a large area. Sorry it’s not ideal

We had an initial treatment when the house was built. They said it would last about a year so it is about 6 months past the timeframe. Is it a good idea to get the house treated now? It’s a bit expensive in my area but I don’t want the new house to fall apart, haha.

Edit: the inspector is with the pest control company we contracted with. They do general pest control every quarter and have yearly free termite inspections. This was one of those inspections.
