hmm, okayy, i'm next! haha. anyway, i know i posted late again, thats cause i was in jakarta. sorry to all.
Anyway, this is about my experience that things that i have learnt in processing for the past 2 weeks and hopefully more to come for the next 2 and a 1/2 weeks. haha.
Processing - the 'general office' in the lab as every sample received from the clinics or the wards are processed by the lab clerks first before being dispatched out to the respective sections such as routine / haematology. I had to be the 'runner' when the canister tubing system was being upgraded. haha. great exercise for the legs. haha. But luckily, our supervisor decided to make the porters (not sure bout the spelling) come in the lab instead and i got my own 'coffee table' where i got to sort out the awaiting and non awaiting samples, the micrology, histology and routine samples. It can get really busy and messy at times. Next, i had to be a paster, by sticking the ID labels on the order forms and the blood/urine /stool samples. It is crucial to check that the name on the specimen tallies with the order form as errors do happen. At times, empty or insufficient specimen bottles and unlabelled specimens are received and its is quite troublesome. However, as a student, i won't be able to be the one to call the nurse/wards to correct the issue. haha. (Its a good thing though.) Then, for the most days of the past 2 weeks, fatin, elyn and i were up to our necks with the preparation of samples for the Health Awareness Week that is currently ongoing. On one of the days, we had to work till 7.30 p.m as we had to send the forms and the tubes to the respective wards. It was quite fun though.
Anyway, my job in processing is quite self explanatory but nevertheless, feel free to ask me anything. =)
