COVID-19: Lab workers are unseen warriors fighting the coronavirus
Across the world, everyday people are applauding the brave healthcare workers on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. And with laboratory appreciation week coming up April 19-25, now is a great time to acknowledge some unseen warriors fighting the coronavirus -- lab professionals.
"We really need to hail the pathologists, medical technologists, and other laboratory professionals who are becoming unsung heroes of the COVID pandemic," noted Dr. Kathleen Beavis, spokesperson for the College of American Pathologists and Laboratory Director at University of Chicago.
Pathologists are specially trained doctors who advise clinicians which tests to order and how to interpret results. Pathologists and laboratory staff work in medical laboratories that test for the novel coronavirus, ensuring that all of the tests are functioning and that patients receive the correct diagnosis and treatment.
