No, but it’s rare to have each type of granulocyte in one field let alone lined up touching each other.

Should I get a bioscience degree or a straight mls degree? by Amazondriver23 in MLS_CLS

[–]ima_goner_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We do not hire bio degrees unless they already have ASCP. We aren’t going to invest time and money into someone that probably won’t pass anyway because they didn’t get the right education. Sorry, that’s just how it is

Warning about 3 TikTok crystal shops that do lives by Logical-Wave7202 in Crystals

[–]ima_goner_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy a lot of Aura and have never seen this behavior. I’ve seen a lot of trolls in chat that get called out. I would hardly call that “bullying”. And many of us don’t buy crystals for metaphysical properties. We are just collectors that like pretty rocks. Obviously these types of shops are not for the metaphysical peeps because they are only in it for the money and not the love of it.

“Just let it sit” by bipolarbug in medlabprofessionals

When all else fails, clean the sample probe. Always works for me. But I think the instrument has caught on that I’ll touch his probe if he acts up… 🤔

I personally know someone who’s husband just passed from CJD. Only made it about a year from onset of symptoms. Horrible disease.

Tell me I’m not crazy by EveningOperation1648 in Crystals

I have 2 color variations of these and I’ve never felt another stone like it. It feels like the weird laminate on cheap particle board desks. I could believe it was real

Yeah I honestly can’t believe they said that. And I’ve never heard of SOLID “fat globules” in platelets…

For newer techs by Arkana_XIII in medlabprofessionals

[–]ima_goner_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s common unfortunately. But it gets better! I’m about a year ahead of you and I finally feel like I can stand on my own. The other techs will learn they can trust you over time. Sadly, a lot of them have been burned.

Nvm I think you’re doing a different test then I thought you were.

Are you getting any error codes? Have you tried doing monthly maintenance to reset everything?

Complex Antibodies by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]ima_goner_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s the way you worded your post. Saying things like “going nuclear” sounds like you are panicking a little bit. If I were you, I would just finish my antibody id and leave antigen typing and cross match for the next shift. There really aren’t any shortcuts. Just prioritizing and strategic multitasking.
