Interview question: Hb7.1 or Hb 6.9

[Yolandalau 0]

Dear all,

I have got an interview question:  I repeated a CBC and got two results of Hb 7.1 and Hb 6.9, which one should I report? Hb7.0 is our critical value which mean if below 7.0 we need to call the ward.

Thanks so much!

Regards,

Yolanda

It very much depends on what tolerance you have on your machines, but I would be amazed if it was that close, and did not cross your measurement of uncertainty.  I would have telephoned the ward anyway.

Maybe do it a third time.....

Ah, you mean do it again, like the EU referendum in the UK, until you get the answer you want!!!!!!!

That comment was supposed to be tongue in cheek, rather than political, before anyone throws their toys out of the pram.

Ya, anyway Yolanda, I would just report the critical value.
