Blood bankers type blood and match it to a donor for blood transfusions. Getting more interesting!
A mistake in blood bank can be fatal to the patient. This is what frightens me the most. However, blood ...

My last week in the Microbiology lab started with two days of working and reading on the Respiratory and miscellaneous bench then ending with the blood bench. I was able to determine if there was a pathogen growing on the plate versus normal flora bacteria. I saw a lot of Staphylococcus aureus and a lot turned out to be MRSA. When I came upon Beta ...
