WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES -Nancy Brown, chief laboratory technologist,
watches as Trudy Hill, registered laboratory technologist, carries out a white cell' dif-
ferential count under the microscope. They are among members of the laboratory
staff at the Wingham and District Hospital who are celebrating National Medical.
Laboratories Week this week as part of a nation-wide effort to promote recognition of
the contribution of these behind-the,scenes health care workers.
Laboratory technologists
work behind the scenes
They form the third-
largest group of health care
professionals in Ontario, but
because they work behind
the scenes not even their co-
workers know exactly' what
they do.
However medical labora-
tory technologists here and
across Canada are hoping to
change some of that during
National Medical Laborator-
ies Week, a nation-wide
effort to promote recognition
of the role lab technologists
play in the health care
system. .
"A lot of people don't
realize the extent of what our
work involves," explained
Nancy Brown, chief
laboratory technologist at
the Wingham and District
Hospital.
"Our profession is not
high-profile. Patients only
see us when we take a blood
sample and don't realize the
extent of the testing work.
But the displays, pam-
phlets and even a quiz for
hospital staff prepared as
part of the week's activities
should help dispel some of
the mystery.
Mrs. Brown said she likes
the description, coined by
the Ontario Society of
Medical Technologists, of
the lab workers as "health
detectives", noting that the
investigations carried out in
the laIboratory are ultimate-
ly used in the diagnosis,
treatment and prevention of
disease.
A pamphlet published by
the Ontario society explains
that medical ,lan work is
divided into a number of
disciplines. Clinical chemis-
try analyzes body fluids,
mainly the blood, for a wide
variety of chemical constitu-
ents which aid in the diagno-
sis and treatment of disease.
Clinical microbiology
-studies-.--specimens----from
patients •, with infections to
identify,' the invader and
check susceptibility to an-
tibiotics or other medication.
Hematology involves the
study of blood cells and
plasma in the diagnosis and
treatment of various blood
'disorders, while immuno -
hematology involves
grouping and cross-
matching of blood for trans-
fusions.
hiistotechnology, some-
times called histopathology,
involves the microscopic ex-
amination of tissue samples
removed during surgery or
autopsy. This is not current-
ly done in the laboratory at
the Wingham hospital but is
sent out to another lab.
A laboratory technologist
is a graduate of a two or
three-year training course at
a community college and to
become a registered tech-
nologist one must also suc-
cessfully write exams set by
the Canadian Society of
Laboratory Technologists,
Mrs. Brown explained.
Nearly all labs hire only
registered technologists.
The laboratory at .the
Wingham hospital is staffed
by six full-time and two part-
time registered ' technolo-
gists as well as a lab
assistant, a receptionist and
an. ECG technologist who
does electrocardiograms.
It is open seven days a
week and runs tests on
patients in the hospital as
well as, tests ordered by
doctors on out-patients.
To help make themselves
better .known, the lab staff
has set up_displays this week
at the entrance to the
hospital,, in the cafeteria, in
the guidance department at
the local high school and in
the window of the Standard
Trust office in downtown
