Re: [nukkad] BBC E-mail: Test confusion 'risk to patients'

["Ravi Menon" <>]

This is for teh doctors on Nukkad.
A very interesting story springs to mind. During my stint as a
Microbiology student at Sion Hospital, I came across a hilarious
situation, though somewhat scary that there were medical practitioners
like the gentleman I encountered, let loose on an unsuspecting public.
This guy he was then doing his internship at the time brought in a
sample of blood in an EDTA bulb asking for a BTCT (Bleeding Time and
Clotting Time) test!
When I told him it wasnt possible he then wanted to know if he brought
it in a plain bulb or citrate one would it make a difference!
