Hello! I'm Tawakalt, a medical laboratory scientist and data enthusiast on a journey with #hertechtrailacademy. I'm passionate about extracting insights from complex datasets and turning them into meaningful stories.
Youโll think your mental health is strong until you run PCV for five different patients and they all come out with the exact same value thatโs when you start questioning the centrifuge, the capillary tubes, and even your whole career choice. Happy weekend โฅ๏ธ
The order of draw should be
1.Blood culture - To prevent contamination
2. Citrate-(light blue cap)
3. Non-additive tubes(Red or Yellow top with clot activator).
4. Lithium heparin (green cap)
5. EDTA-( no need for EDTA from the question)
6. Oxalate/Fluoride tubes( grey cap)

Happy Medical Laboratory Professionals week!
In USA, Nigeria, Ghana, Australia, New Zealand etc, We are called:
Medical Laboratory Scientists (MLSs)
In Ireland we are called:
Medical Scientists
In UK we are called:
We are Biomedical Scientists (BMSs)
In Canada we are called
Medical laboratory technologists (MLTs)
We work side by side with Pathologists, and we are supported by Medical Laboratory Technicians/Assistance, and Associate Practioners.
We are not Labmen
We are not Doctors.
We are not Technicians.
We are not nurses.
We do not prescribe or manage a patient care
We are involved in disease diagnosis
We test patient's blood, tissues, faeces, csf, plural fluid etc to determine a patient health status
We are well trained medical professionals with career path in laboratory and diagnostic pathology.
We are involved in limitless Healthcare research, biotechnology and biomedicine and Biomedical Engineering, education and training, commerce and industry, logistics and supply chain, leadership and management etc
We use very sophisticated medical equipment and computer systems to carry out our tasks
It is imperically proven that 70% of clinical decisions are based on what we do.
We are unsonged yet we are there for every patient and we make the work even smother for those who manage the patient.
Happy International Medical Laboratory Professionals week to all my colleagues out there.
Thank you for all you do!
It's Day 15 and the final day of #HTTDataChallenge with #HerTechTrail
Today, I addressed a practical business challenge using 'Parch and Posey' business dataset as a case study, focusing on paper products.The challenge was to analyze sales performance by product type and region
Day 14 of #HTTDataChallenge
A SQL query was crafted to analyze sales data across various client channels. This query calculates the total sales for each channel. Additionally, a 'CASE' statement was utilized to categorize them as 'High' or 'Low Value' based on predefined
aiding in the identification of areas for improvement and strategic focus. The structured output of the query also offers actionable insights for optimizing channel-specific
