Very very interesting, thanks for posting this.
A friend of mine had a biopsy done and was booked in for a double mastectomy.
Just before they performed the surgery, they found a problem at the lab. Did more biopsies and was found to be clear. Months after that there was a news story saying there was more than 400 women misdiagnosed.
Your article made a little clearer how such events can occur.
Given your work it seems strange and a shame that you choose to support the misanthropic element here.
Or is there is a misanthropic element to your work there as well?
I don't work in histology, so I can't tell you the exact process that happens there.
In this particular case, no misdiagnosis happened. It simply increased the average turn around time. When we decontaminate samples, the timer for incubation needs to restart. Non-AFBs can grow pretty fast, they can be detected within 1-2 days.
We still reported results within the acceptable time frame as outlined.
Your comment serves other motive. I can only answer what I know.
Ah yea i have no idea about the biopsy process. From your article I assumed that some kind of reagent would be used, but from your reply maybe not?
You must at least know why you align yourself with the misanthropic element here!
What is it exactly that you imagine you are protecting?
lol
Not entirely sure why I like that so much.
But maybe its because its Not Secret Anymore : )
It's more complex than you think.
But your version is indeed more interesting.
I am absolutely convinced that it is complex and far more interesting than anything I could possibly dream up. Having said that, I am quite sure it is not so complex that i would not be able to comprehend the intricacies and numerous subtleties.
Maybe you feel incapable of articulating the situation clearly enough for others to understand? Don't concern yourself with that thinking, I will get the gist of it just fine. But you knew that already
