BREMERTON, Wash. - Immunohematology not just another word to a laboratory technician…Hospital Corpsman 1st Class KC Geisler, Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton Laboratory leading petty officer, purviews an anti-body panel at their blood bank analyzer during a normal high operational-tempo morning. Even though April 18-24, 2021 is designated as Medical Laboratory Professionals Week, for laboratory technicians like Geisler, there’s no slow down or reduction of service taking place during the week. It’s business as usual. “As a laboratory professional we organically see almost every single patients either through getting their blood drawn or through their specimen(s) that are dropped off to the laboratory,” said Geisler
