Who knows about pathology labs?

[Baitball Blogger]

Someone I know just got a job with a lab. Kid out of college. How safe are they? How does one go about finding out?

1. Everything I know about pathology...

I learned from Quincy, so I won't be too much help. Sorry.

4. Is that a jab at Quincy?

Was it an undergraduate degree?

2. My husband was a pathologist

and I worked in the lab before I became a nurse. Safe? Of course they are safe. What will he be doing?

3. Not sure. Will know more after next week.

Is it about handling infectious diseases? Or is that just a small part of the industry?

Thanks for the info.

5. Sorry, I was away for a bit.

It will depend on the job. It is a large thing, a lab, and there are many kinds. The kind I am familiar with are the hospital labs. There are procedures for everything. As long as he follows them he will be fine. It is a long standing practice, everything is covered. There are thousands of lab techs and others who do this every day.

EDIT because I am tired and can't quite seem to put things together including my fingers at the moment
