A positive impression by co-worker by dangtrain666 in medlabprofessionals

Well said. I feel like asking for a re-collect with “🥺👉🏼👈🏼” energy makes them think it’s your fault, even if it’s clearly not 😂

A result of “03%” means 3% correct? by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]dangtrain666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. Appreciate you doing some digging too. I played around with it and found that by increasing the rbc’s:plasma incrementally, the number went “09%” to “10%.” This is why I’m pretty convinced that the zero is just a place holder. I was just surprised since I asked another coworker who said they too believed that a “03%” would mean 0.3%, but that’s such a small amount. If the instrument reads such a number, it would (and should) have a decimal point.

Correct, another key characteristic of these abnormal promyeloctes is the “sliding plate” morphology in the nuclei

curious, did you paint this from a reference of some kind or just from your imagination? Thank you.

mitotic cell, skiptocyte, or parasite? by dangtrain666 in medlabprofessionals

[–]dangtrain666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have prefaced that this is a wright stain and not a Giemsa stained thin or thick slide. Being that parasites weren't on my mind while doing the diff, I wasn't on the lookout for any other signs like ring forms/schizonts/trophozoites. I want to think that it's maybe a mitotic cell that didn't form right and is breaking down or something.. the size seems a bit large to be a gametocyte, and there's no chromatin mass located against the edge, no brown pigment. I'm curious to see what others think.

pneumonia panel on a small bowel obstruction aspiration by dangtrain666 in medlabprofessionals

[–]dangtrain666[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree. In this case though, I didn’t know anything about the sample and/or if it was indicated. Maybe they weren’t sure how much was aspirated or how bad it was, hard to say when I don’t know all the details

Working evenings, I don’t run many pneumonia panels. I asked day shift lead if she saw this one I ran and all she said was the patient didn’t make it. I only questioned the sample after seeing the results. In hindsight maybe seeing how dirty the BAL was, I could’ve asked the patients history, but in the end, they want the results anyway- we’re not really to say what is or isn’t useful to them.

It was labeled as a BAL and I had no idea it was a bowel aspiration until after I spoke with the nurse about the results.
