Grippy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I have been a tech since 84 and find it a great job. I could have been a ditch digger or truck driver but I conspired against myself and became a Med Tech.I work part time on the PM shift and would not have it any other way. I never liked having to do anything so this way I don't have to go to bed or wake up to an alarm.I did my internship at Billy Beaumont in Royal Oak, MI. It was one of the worst years of my life. I came from a research job and was not at all prepared for the regimen plus I was a really immature, self centered creep. I made it real tough on myself but made it though cause I ain't stupid.I got my first job at a small community hospital in the UP where we did little in the way of BB. Type and screens, cross matches but no antibody ID. After a time I moved to a larger hospital in Wisconsin where we do considerable BB. It took some effort to get up to speed and I am still not the BB I would like to be. I work at it though and this forum looks to have many knowledgeable folk and I hope take advantage of the educational opportunity. Don't be afraid to tell me I am an idiot if I ask a stupid question. I don't mind. Grippy MA MT (ASCP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adiescast Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Welcome to BBT Grippy. We all ask basic (the politically correct version of "stupid") questions, so join the crowd! This is a non-judgemental group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
