This is (supposed to be) a reflective diary by a (not very) anonymous biomedical scientist who works somewhere in the south of England. One day this diary may well be submitted to the Health and Care Professions Council as evidence of ongoing continual professional development....
It is
something of a tradition that I do a BTLP-TACT exercise on the morning before I
go to the night shift…
I was
presented with one case – a fifteen year old young lady in intensive care with
burns needing two units of blood tomorrow.
She
grouped as A Rh(D) Positive with a negative antibody screen. I selected two
units of A (Rh)D positive K negative blood
I got the green light.
The “Oncology Central” update arrived today. In my more cynical moments I wonder why I subscribe to the medical oncology journals. Most of them go straight over my head… but one or two little snippets stick, and (as I have said before) just being aware of the latest treatment regimes is always worthwhile…
The nice people at Lablogatory sent me a little article today. Ergonomics… I would have thought that something so basic in the workplace had long been sorted… Apparently not.
It made for a rather interesting read. Nothing new, but a refresher is always good.
