Here’s
an interesting discussion that appeared on one of the work-related Facebook
groups that I follow. What *do* you
do with prolonged clotting times? I can remember asking this question of the
regional chief biomedical scientist’s discussion group (back in the day when I was in charge). Without exception every lab
just reported the numbers *except*
those under the direct orders of a haemophilia centre.
On the one hand we aren’t just producing
numbers, we are biomedical scientists… on the other hand we don’t have the time
to be fiddling about only to find a patient is on rivaroxaban or warfarin, and
the ward staff should be correlating the results clinically rather than us....
Fifteen years ago I didn’t get a straight answer
to this question. Still not got one now…
