GROSS DESCRIPTION: Exam of the specimen designated “left fallopian tube” reveals the presence of a fallopian tube measuring 6 cm in length and 2.3 cm in average diameter. Sectioning of the tube shows it to be

After at least 48 hours a final diagnosis is given to the patient all based off of using the Dichotomous Key, used to narrow down the search of the specimen on the suspected area of the body. This is an important procedure because there are organisms that must be identified in order to conduct certain tests on certain media to know its function.

Journal article based on Lisa Epsioteo’s article “Hospital Labs: Behind the Scenes,” posted on 30 January 2015 from U.S News, which demonstrate the importance of lab tech duties like analyzing specimen for the patient safety. It gives basic ideology of lab tech work, also informs, and provides learning experience about covert scientist and phlebotomist working at their respective work

Understand the importance of proper disposal of laboratory material that comes into contact with blood.

Consults with physicians, hospital personnel and independent and hospital laboratory personnel regarding common laboratory problems.

In the article Medical Professionalism in the New Millennium, by Sox, the author’s focus was on the three fundamentals and ten professional responsibilities that are bestowed on medical professionals today. These are principles and guidelines that we, as medical professionals, should consider and adhere to daily while performing our duties. Although all the points made in the article are important there are a few that can be incorporated into the Medical Laboratory Scientist’s everyday performance. In my opinion, these principles are improving quality care, patient confidentiality, scientific knowledge, professional competence, and professional responsibilities. In addition, I would incorporate always having the patient’s best interest at

In the Biomedical Field, it's important to be trained fully in working with Blood, Organs and Tissue, as there is many potentially risk factors involved when working with them. It's important to be fully trained in all aspects

“Hey there” John looked over his shoulder at the smiling face of his new coworker. John greeted him as hallway smiled back not wanting to talk since he had woken up at 5:00am that morning. He quickly dashed over to his office and switched on his computer. He thought about the nine years of intensive study that he had to go through. The loud ringing of his pager interrupted his thoughts. He answered a few nurses difficult questions about what medicines to prescribe what to do with a few difficult patients. He placed his phone down a little nervous wondering if he had just killed someone by prescribing the wrong medicine. He grabbed his clipboard, jacket and stethoscope and went to go meet his first patient. “Mrs. Anderson, how are

Skin conditions such as rashes, redness, and itching are considered to be among the most common side effect of chemo. Some of them are minor and can be handled with no more than using a topical cream or lotion, others may require more in-depth prescription treatment. Often referred to as chemo rash or chemo itch, these side effects are directly correlated to the various drugs used in the treatment of many forms of cancer.

With my ability in operating Sysmex instrument for hematology, Clinitek for urinalysis, Sofia for strep-throat and flu, in February 2015, I got hired by INOVA health system as a medical lab technician II working at the hospital central lab unit. Within a short period, I have mastered in performing multiple specimen tests on varieties systems such as peripheral blood smear, cell morphology, urinalysis, HIV multisport, Mono, Coagulation. With the experiences in managing and analyzing medical test’s results at INOVA central lab and directly inputting information into patients health records have developed in me a deeper breadth of information management knowledge and sensitive information control, improved my discipline of workload management,

The Pathology Laboratory consists of Blood Sciences and Microbiology. Blood Sciences is composed of Immunology, Biochemistry, Blood Bank, Cytology, Histology and Haematology.

A major practice which remains imperative is the laboratory testing; a urinalysis and blood test, for blood type, number of antibodies,

Histopathology has played an important role in the understanding of diseases which in turn helps to provide an accurate diagnosis in a timely manner. According to Lord Carter’s review of NHS pathology services (2006 and 2008), pathology accounts for 70% of diagnoses in NHS. Histopathology specimen collection and laboratory techniques vary depending on the clinical spectrum of diseases. The provided services yield tissue morphology and architecture for confirming the diagnosis, monitoring prognosis and determining clinical management since the data provided are essential in choosing appropriate therapies and checking responses to treatment. Advances in biomedical technology and research improve the efficiency of existing services and innovation

There are times where specialists require some assistance in discovering the particular issues and states of their patients. At the point when specialists need to be certain about what their patients' conditions are, they take body liquid or tissue tests from them and forward these examples to the pathology advisors.

Laboratory/Diagnostic Area: This area is within the main ICU/Hospital Area. There is a wall dedicated to Laboratory work. The wall is lined with posters of parasites, how to do a PCV, microscope, sink, dyes for staining slides, and fecal analysis directions.
