The IBMS Gazette came through the post today (how last century!) Usually the thing goes straight into the dustbin unopened but today I thought I might have a look at it.
It’s not called the IBMS Gazette any more – it’s now “The Biomedical Scientist”… it’s amazing what happens when you aren’t paying attention.
There was something about advanced and consultant biomedical scientist roles in which three different people seemed to compete to see who could write the most unintelligible article. I couldn’t understand what any of them were getting at.
There was an article about a histopathology lab which was on target to achieve ninety-eight percent turnaround of all its work within ten days… back in the day at the (now demolished) Royal East Sussex Hospital we used to do all the histology sectioning in the morning, have an early lunch break, do all the cut-up in the early afternoon and be finished by three o’clock…
Admittedly there were a few articles about people’s personal experiences which were interesting, but there was quite a bit of semi-political ranting and more than a little of the IBMS blowing its own trumpet.
I was pleased to see the IBMS Gazette (as it will always be to me) has improved somewhat since I last read the thing…
