Each person has unique technical
skills and everything done by one person
impacts the next step in the ongoing
treatment of the patient. A surgeon
cannot replace a laboratory technologist,
a nurse cannot replace a pharmacist,
and so on. We depend on, and expect,
the proper execution of these skills:
the accuracy of tests performed by
a lab technologist, radiographer, or
MRI technologist leads to the accurate
diagnosis by the doctor. Constant vigilance
by staff such as – but not limited
to! – therapists, technologists,
BME techs, records techs, transcriptionists
and pharmacists regarding medications,
sterile procedures, tests, and treatments
ensures that nothing is missed and
minimizes the risk of complications.

her thirties who's five foot one and wears glasses!
