For many people, when they have a diagnostic test – like a blood test or tissue biopsy – it disappears into the lab and, eventually, they hear the results from a doctor. But what actually happens in between taking that sample and receiving the result?
In our season two finale, pathologists’ assistant Dennis Strenk takes us behind the doors of the magic “black box” of the lab. What does a typical day look like in the lab? What does Dennis wish people knew about their own bodies and about diagnostic testing? And how does someone become a laboratory medicine expert?
Listen to the episode to find out – and we’ll see you soon for season three!
