The company who manufactures many of the swabs and transport media for viral PCR analyzers is called Copan Diagnostics. They’re based in Italy.

Buddy of mine a few months back detached his bicep and tore open his forearm while changing the spring on his garage door. He watched a YouTube video too. He is very sound at repair work and is not normally an idiot. shite happens. Call a pro.

I have American Home Shield. No issues. Fixed garage door spring, replaced air conditioner motor, etc. Fast and friendly. Matter of fact, I have an electrician scheduled through AHS to come in tomorrow to fix a bathroom vent/light.

MT schools are closing and are being replaced by MLT programs and online studies. Older MTs are retiring and automation is the plan to fill the gaps. Pay is going up as well, but it's been behind the curve. Micro was always seen as safe, until the copan wasp and the maldi have surfaced along with microarray and PCR testing. The old school, gut feeling is being replaced by a computer, thermocyclers, and lasers. Blood bank is fully automated now. It's unfortunate for our field, but it ultimately results in better patient outcomes because of improved specificity and sensitivity.

I had to take 6+ biology classes, 2 physics classes with labs, a biochem and 2 organic chems with lab in my program, not to mention pathophysiology and a/p and all of the med tech courses. It all depends on your program and your route, similar to nursing. I could literally write a book on lab's role in the clinical experience. We are literally the offensive line. You don't become a med tech if you feed on praise and acknowledgement from the rest of the medical community. You have to love discovery, science, cells, chemistry, repetitive motion, disease correlation with labs, etc. I've seen dead bodies in the ED from car accidents and gunshots (blood bank), and I've isolated vibrio cholera from stool in a patient in micro AND tested which antibiotics work or don't work. How many medical professionals get those opportunities in the same shift? None.

I'm one. 10 years, feels like 20. Pay sucks compared to nursing with more schooling in most cases. Pro tip: get proficient in micro at the lab you get hired at and work in all areas of the lab. Don't compartmentalize yourself. We need med techs badly right now. Good luck!

Didn't Alabama football have some sanctions/probations in the early 2000's? I'm sure that was a factor in that "stretch of average" during that time period. I could be wrong, but I remember something about that.
