Joe Ferguson forever

Seems dumb. Radio is dying. But he's right much more often than wrong. At least he's not a Russian oligarch who owns a media corporation like RT

yes, America sucks for you. We get it.

If it isn't, it should be. Pathologists certainly agree, in my experience. "Dr Smith, is it true that Dr Jones was concerned about potassium levels coming out of your lab and Mr Brown died during that same time period from an arrhythmia associated with abnormal potassium levels?" They don't want that.

they wouldn't be needed were there very rarely errors. or at least they'd be very rarely needed. Direct observation by clinicians is an important part of QC. No doubt that's in some MT handbook. btw, Obama's killing it in Pittsburg

the misinformation is that they want Harris. They wanted trump in 16, 20, and now. Even before then https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-cultivating-trump-asset-40-years-says-ex-kgb-spy-2021-1

how rarely is "very rarely"? I'd see it every few months. perhaps our lab was under par. I don't think so.

and why should we believe a guy that used misinformation to rise up the far right media? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Bongino

Pointing to systematic testing errors. Are you suggesting that doesn't happen? where would we be had Putin died from covid?

uh huh. And I can request and receive them too. As much as you want to deny it, the machines make mistakes sometimes. I've seen 5.2 become the "normal" potassium level coming out of our lab for several days running until I mentioned it. And it matters. A great deal.

ruined people lives but....MAGA!

no idea what this means. my order was always for CBC with diff...and I always got the results although when I saw an unusual trend I let them know and they paid attention. but by all means continue....

nope. done it many times. never been told to f off. That would be very bad form. You think they'd do the same when we discuss the path from a biopsy at tumor board? You really don't know how hospitals work, do you? Also, never ordered CBC without diff. That would be MAGA stupid. A 'peripheral smear for pathology review" is one of the most cost effective "consults" one can do. Actual experts then communicate findings with you.

admitting guilt. They should have gotten more https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/10/gateway-pundit-defamation-lawsuit-election-workers

Dude, if I call Dr Smith or Jones in pathology and say their CBC's seem off - Too many elevated WBC counts for example, They're going to do some peripheral smears manually and check the machine. And call me back after it's done. Wouldn't the world be better off had putin died from covid?

A and PCR. so you take the sample, put it on a cassette, push the cassette into the machine and it spits out a result. and you need to calibrate the machine maybe once a day? And even then, physicians will report aberrant results, sometimes requiring recalibration or change of controls. So that part can be challenging I guess. My question was what is the difference in methodology for the in house vs POC tests. Maybe there's a difference but why reinvent a pretty good POC test? Wouldn't America be better off if Putin died from Covid?

so educate me. In the hallowed halls of the lab, what is the methodology for rsv, flu, strep, covid multi tests? How do you do all those tests on one nasal swab sample with pipettes, chromatography or bench reagents? My career more than satisfied me. So why was it ok for trump to give scarce testing materials to Putin? You guys do handstands to justify his treason. The best thing for the US would have been putin dying from covid.

Cepheid's GeneXpert Xpress utilizes the same cartridge and module technology in a point of care system designed for near-patient healthcare settings capable of running our CLIA-waived respiratory testing menu. let's keep playing. this is good fun/. A sed rate is a nonspecific test for inflammation but can help with some rheumatologic dxes. If it very high a nothing else is suggested, you look for cancer. Obviously many other causes- infection, lupus, polymyalgia rheumatic, temporsal arteritis, nephritis, myocarditis but this is easily searched unlike the methodology for the multi covid test.

c, mon alexei....I'm sure you did a fine job as an orderly in a crappy Russian hospital with no covid tests at all.

I missed it and a 12 footer the next hole. Tomorrow’s another day

We don’t have virology departments in our hospitals. These tests are done on cassettes on idiot proof instruments just like chemistries. Even you could do them. But toxicology. Yeah. Different story. And bs, I don’t need to know what subdept of the lab does any test. I used to do plasma catecholamine assays at my tox station. When a urologist or endo had a question hecalled the pathologist who directed them to me. Did you really work in a hospital? Shite most of the time I had residents who would follow up on questionable labs for me

lol. I believe it’s done in chemistry as opposed to micro. As an attending why would I need to know. Any questions would just require a call to path. None of which has anything to do with trump sending scarce tests to putin

In our hospitals, the lab. And pathologists sent out emails on interpretation, sensitivity and specificity

Re the batch testing, within a month our urgent cares had the rsv flu covid assay and so did our hospital labs. The ref labs initially were doing a single covid assay. Not that the midlevels working the urgent cares had a clue what to do with the results

And you believe him. Lol. Where’s he find the time to do research. I’ve got a 6 footer for bird. Be back re Covid testing. Your response is bs
