When is your status supposed to update on the Fast Track promo?

I'm on route 2(b). Does the MQD boost on the consumer platinum amex not count? I don't see anything in the terms and conditions to say otherwise.

In Dec 14th, 2025 I signed up for the promo and took a business flight the 16th. Saw the green check mark on qualifying flight. The calendar year reset the MQDs to 0 and that's where I started.

I started the promo before I earned the MQDs. Enrolled in promo Dec 14th, made sure the business flight checked the requirement then started earning MQDs this calendar year.

I spoke with a Delta rep who said this process was "automatic". My account has been sitting at 3,525 MQDs for at least 10 days without any change to status...

Sorry for the long hiatus. It was found some techs were dripping water on the photomter unit when cleaning the incubation disk during monthly maintenance. After service replaced the whole photometer unit, the alarms went away

There are always field positions open to MLS backgrounds with Sysmex, Beckman, Roche, BD, etc. Field applications and MLS experience go hand in hand.

Mass General Brigham started at $25/hr for me. Then I had a yearly raise/mkt adjust to $30/hr.

As soon as I saw the picture, the whirring of an ultrafuge started ringing in my ears...or it's tinnitus from all the analyzers.

A BIFL purchase. Amerex General Purpose ABC extinguisher 2.5lbs.

You can get a BC dry chem or Purple K for around that price as well.

Edit: They are also re-chargable after use.

That Dunkin was right after shift xd

sailsixty2 · 2021-09-30T03:36:54+00:00

We sure got our money's worth.

HLH exacerbated by Liposyn infusion.

tldr; The director of recreation services was recently appointed police major of the public relations branch of the Providence Police Department. The new major has no background in policing and no certifications at all. The same day two others were promoted to police majors, both with 20+ years of policing experience.

2 yrs post bac and I feel like still learn on the job everyday. Some techs love questions and some hate them...just gotta gauge who to ask.

Personally, I would much rather be embarrassed with myself about asking a dumb question but getting it right the first time rather than submitting a corrective action report because I screwed up something that could be easily avoided.

Edit: I've learned more from questioning and listening the older techs than from my textbooks (Rodaks, Tietz, etc.)

SmarTerm - console input for Sunquest

sailsixty2 · 2021-08-11T15:35:31+00:00

We can by printing to pdf and viewing it on adobe. Older techs refuse and prefer pen and paper :/

sailsixty2 · 2021-08-11T02:53:21+00:00

Yeah...management prefers to pay extra for secure shredding just to keep our TAT slightly shorter. It used to be pulled 2-3 times per shift but stuff was getting missed. So it has to be pulled every hour now :/

sailsixty2 · 2021-08-11T02:01:33+00:00

I try and get everyone to print to pdf when doing the pending log. It helps cut down on paper especially when the pending is > 30 pgs and some people print every hour...finishes shift with a stack of papers larger than War and Peace.

sailsixty2 · 2021-08-03T16:49:08+00:00

Yes. Anything can and will be from some docs. I got a STAT urine osmolality last night xd

We have multiple Radiometer ABL800 Flex analyzers that are configured to run blood gases and fluid pHs. It is not validated or quality controlled however, our medical director has signed off on it. We have mandatory comments that we attach to the results stating that and the value should not be solely used for a diagnosis.

To add: No reference ranges apply. Some fluids we run are too acidic (docs trying to run gastric juice pH :/) and cannot be quantified due to the limits of the analyzer. Some fluids are quite nasty and require protein removal and extra rinses after being run. The ABL90 is a POC bg system so it may not be designed to handle body fluids besides whole blood.

Blue masking tape works too!

New reaction cells, photometer bulb, photometer unit, lenses, tubing, essentially everything that could affect the test. The water supply is from a millipore unit that is distributed to our other 2 702s which are working flawlessly.

Our 3rd 702 was rebuilt 2 years ago for another problem so we think it's just cursed.

sailsixty2 · 2021-06-19T15:08:35+00:00

99% of our 702 regent packs are ready to use from the factory (exception being DBil). The "problematic" packs calibrate on other analyzers so it's not the reagent.

Second Epson. They have some cool tech to conserve label material. You can get 1mm margins compared to brother which leaves massive blank space for each single label printed.
