" The Doctor's Doctor" that's us. ( Marilyn Claire) .
Being a Medical Laboratory Scientist is one of the most underrated blessing in health care. We are not just people in lab coats pressing, pushing buttons, and peeking into microscopes.
We are the one who find the cause in blood, bodily fluids, tiny colonies that don't belong.
We are the reason diagnoses are made with certainty. We are the doctor's doctor. We catch infections before they become sepsis. We confirm what's growing when no one else can explain a fever.
We detect cancer cells hiding in a smear. We match blood that saves live during surgeries, trauma or emergencies .
We watch the immune system fight in real time. Do you realize how incredible that is ?
How many people can say they have seen a person's immune system under a microscope?
That they save a life by getting compatible blood products in an emergency situation? That they have identified the exact organism causing a person's suffering and helped the care team fight with precision?
We don't always get the spotlight -but we see what most people never do.
We witness the body's defense systems, its failures, it miracles.
And we show up every day to bring truth , clarity and healing into someone's story.
We are the unsong and unseen hero , and underrated, but unshakably necessary part of the health care system. And being able to call yourself a medical laboratory scientist or technologist is an honor.
