Sandi's Achievements

  1. When I was an SBB student, (back in the day), our instructor showed us how to make positive antibody screen samples for a large group of students. We would obtain an unused bag of plasma of each type and spike it with anti-D (could be used all semester and frozen for the next semester). For the blind samples for each student, we would provide an Rh neg matching RBC to the plasma type. Then create a "panel" with Rh+ and Rh neg cells to match the profile of the antibody we wanted for that day. Of course, we had to check the reactivity at the beginning of each semester. Spiking with monoclonal didn't always work the same as when we had human Anti-D. Worked like a charm!!!
  2. I just had to share this story...When I worked in a large teaching hospital we had a team of Transfusion Nurses who were responsible for drawing most samples and administering the transfusions. Occasionally, however, physicians (or interns/residents) would draw the samples. One afternoon we received an unlabeled sample drawn by a physician via courier. We contacted the physician and informed him a new sample would have to be drawn. He said he would come to the transfusion service and label it right away. We told him that was unacceptable, however, he insisted. While he was on his way, we put together several samples without labels and placed them in a rack. When he arrived, we presented the rack to him and told him to select the sample to label. He actually tried to feel each tube to find the warmest one and said that was the sample he sent. Obviously we did not allow the sample to be labeled. The story has been told many times!!!
  3. I am an adjunct faculty at a local community college. We are offering a Blood Bank Theory Review course beginning in August. The course is a semester long and is available in a web-based format. Would promoting this opportunity on this site be within the guidelines of the forum? The course is a 2 credit course for which students would have to pay tuition. This course is designed for MLT or MTs who feel the need to review the theory of clinical blood banking. We need at least 10 students to have the class proceed and I thought this might be a good way to get the word out. Thank you
