Labs have to be run in a rather expediant matter. Otherwise the sample is comprimised. 
The ER's are notorisiously slow. Unless you have a serious injury your going to sit in the waiting room half the day and then lay on an exam table for about 5 more hours.  
I once had a friend who stuck his hand through a window with serious cuts and he waited in the emergency room for 12 hours with his hand soaking in Betadine. 
I put my arm through a window on a fall one time and I was seen pretty quick and sewed up quick because one of my cuts was very close to a major artery.
Go figure. I was not bleeding to death, but my cuts were bad. 44 stiches to put me back together, but I was in probably in less pain than others in the ER. Glad they worked on me quick, but I think about people who die in the ER waiting room because they failed to convince the triage nurse of the seriousness of their condition.
ER's suck.

Yes!  Also, when you are in the ER (for god knows how long) watch the docs blame lab for the long wait. I had a family member in the ER a few months back. I had some friends in the lab and they clued me in my wife's lab tests were all ok. Two hours later I listened to the doc state they were still waiting on the labs. 

The rule of thumb is 95% of labs ordered in ER are back within 60 t0 90 minutes. 75% are between 45-60 minutes. Occasionally there are exceptions but for the most part that holds true. If they tell you otherwise they are feeding you a line of dung. We bust our asses to get those to ER so don't believe a word. It's the standard of care.

If we didn't have med lab people who would conduct all the proper tests for the Dr. to read? Surely NOT the Dr. he does as little as possible. LOL

I agree with you Metallark, it's about time those who work in the lab part of the medical field get the recognition they deserve! Even at uni the people studying med lab science get put down by those who get into dental/medical/pharmacy school. It's not right.

Becks...My earlier comments were directed at the lack of recognition for MT's and lab professionals. There seems to be a focus on other medical disciplines. I' was only saying we should have our turn too.

Lab work is very rewarding and worth pursuing. It is not a lame dream. It is a great one. Like I said I have been doing it for 18 years and have no regrets. It is a fact that 80% of all treatments and diagnoses are based on lab results. We make a difference. It's what keeps me going. Your positive outlook and enthusiasm will drive your success.

Here's to seeing you live your dream and best of luck.

LOL Metallark and HRMG, yeah trying to get in to the lab field, it's hard to break in to though which sucks, even with a degree etc. I'm trying though cos it's what I really want to do, and I don't want to give up on my dream (may sound like a lame dream but it's honestly what I want). Waiting to hear back from the lab manager, if I don't hear back by this afternoon I will call him LOL! Really trying to put myself out there for this job so yeah

A small world....cool to see other med techs about on this site. Now if we can just get the medical profession to give us our due as professionals instead of tagging us as support services. Hah!... a song title....MT Meltdown (lol).
Whoops! Wrong thread. I need to go to "something pissing you off thread"....eeeeeh!

Greetings one and all at the JP family!

Recently I got a hold of the Evening Star Single from '78.

Forget all about Beyond the Realms of Death in 2005. It was good.

Beyond the Realms of Death live in 1978 is the missing song on Unleashed in the East!

Oh yeah, can you notice the free time coming back?

Just popped in to post that actor David Carradine was found dead in Bangkok...R.I.P.
[HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS] Thursday, June 04, 2009 10:50:56 AM 
Wow, it's a small world! I've been a med tech for 16 years. Worked most of them in micro. Then when we started doing PCR, I moved to the molecular lab to do infectious disease testing. I get to do lots of cool new stuff and help companies validate their new tests. It makes this lab rat VERY happy !

Good luck on the job hunt Becks!!

Friends,

Please allow me another moment to offer my sincere thanks once again!!  As you may recall, I posted "Between the Hammer and the Anvil" yesterday on Acid Planet for everyone to enjoy and it received  22 listens in one twenty four hour period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is more than many songs receive in months!  INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the kind of support  that makes us all so very happy and gives us confidence that the new album will be well received!!! Thanks to one and all. There is more to come VERY soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL only thing I've been kidnapped by is job hunting LOL! A fixed term (maternity leave) job in the microbiology lab where I work has come up so I've emailed the manager asking to meet him etc. I'm trying to put myself out there as much as possible - all I want is a chance to do what I really want to do - practical science work!
Oh man I sound like a nerd LMAO!
