It's stunning isn't it? And it does not look like a ship designed to stay upright!

We do blood tests, so we don't meet patients, we just use it to put the right reference ranges on

This is really interesting. In our hospital dept we put a small 'trans' note on the patient record, that only we can see. Works fine. We've had objections from other depts saying people might not want that to be known. But our aim is to provide appropriate care.
