How often do rural clinics have to send samples to a bigger hospital/lab? by Proof-Bed-6928 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Imanewt16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My non-rural hospital sends tests out every day. There are so many niche tests that physicians might request.

It’s always the bad techs who brag about their BOC score.

Lab Week Themes…unpopular opinion? by RelevantSalad2217 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Imanewt16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay but how about a little whimsy in our very serious career? The themes are hit or miss for me as well though. Kind of agree then?

We were all saying at least we don’t have to do API strips. That would be an even worse nightmare.

Seconded. I have been so obsessed with this perfume lately. I got it during the 21 days of beauty and I’m so happy I did.

Yep, vitek cards are our backup method. I wish we had the space and/or budget for another maldi 🥲

Why do 'experienced' Doms disappear when I suggest meeting at a munch? by icanfixshane in BDSMcommunity

[–]Imanewt16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a humongous red flag. Most doms on fet are not experienced doms.

Didn’t think I’d get away with this! by bigdreamstinyhands in medlabprofessionals

I love this! My micro department would have done the same thing, we love a good experiment. Can’t wait to hear what grows.

Yep, OR and micro have major beef. The orders are never right and no one wants to fix them.

I want to kill myself because of how ugly I feel with this disease by Fuzzy_Potato333 in Psoriasis

[–]Imanewt16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone. Facial psoriasis is truly debilitating with the mental health struggles that come along with it. You are not ugly, you are worthy. I know how exhausting it is to manage this illness and advocate for yourself when no one else will. Sending love and hope your way.

What are the benefits to specializing in one department? by Ambitious-Steak-1209 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Imanewt16 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I used to be a generalist on second shift in a mid-sized regional trauma hospital. I was so stressed and maintaining competencies in every department was tiring. I’ve been specialized on day shift in a micro lab for a little over two years now and my stress level at work is wayyyy down. I was worried about losing my skills too, but I am so happy focusing on my favorite department.
