I'm sure that the frequent mention of Mike Hallworth by MLW is purely
coincidental.

Subject: Brains or no brains
Just a little gentle musing for a quiet sultry August morning.
In the current edition of MLW (in which by the way Mike Hallworth always
gets a
mention) is an article on Abbott's 'process flexibility scheme' In the
article there is a
reference to the 'brain to brain pathway'. The brain being referred to is
of course the
one possessed by the clinician. There is a notable absence of any reference
to brains
in the laboratory except perhaps indirectly when it comes to optimising
workflow.
Nothing at all about the skills of the lab staff in adding clinical and
scientific value to
the simple numbers produced by the analysers. No doubt this was not the
subject of
the article but don't lab staff possess brains to? How about the 'brain to
BRAIN to brain
pathway'.
That's better. Now I can just wait for the out of office replies.
