How is it possible that @BostonGlobe smokes @WCVB on the news about Mike Lynch’s health scare? Kudos to the Globe for the better story.

In the “out of touch” department, the @BostonGlobe app lists the Red Sox win tonight two stories above the Celtics win.
🤔🤔🤔
As the late Charlton Heston once said, “It’s a madhouse!”
Or put another way, time for morning coffee break at Executive War College.

ExecutiveWar College 2022 opens up with Diane Schimelfenyg at @BeckmanDx giving lab automation and process best practices (like setting up common tests on all analyzers).

Nothing like seeing a typo after a print version is already out and three editors went through the whole issue, including me. 🤦♀️
So the reporting of Pink Floyd's new song was pretty lame on @abcnews last night. #1 question any music fan would have: Did Roger Waters join the band? Happily, @Variety took care of that answer.

Just had a frustrating chat with a rep from @AmericanAir .
Q: Can I chat with a boss?
A: No
Q: Can you cancel my frequent flyer account?
A: No
WTF is the point of chat if you can't handle requests? Compare this to Amazon, where you can do just everything over chat.
Is there something wrong with me that when I proof a 20-page issue, most of my comments are about commas?

Kind of embarrassing to see the major Boston TV news stations giving equal billing to the Russian invasion and an upcoming snow storm. 🤦♂️
The article on the Cody Rhodes situation is probably the best news story @davemeltzerWON has written ever. Great details.

Super useful headline in the Boston Globe app today. Could the headline writing be any lazier two years into the pandemic?
Hospitals 🏥are asking pathology groups to sign expansive data security amendments 🔒. These decisions can be expensive 💲. Prepare your group with advice from @McDonaldHopkins and @Dark_Daily on Thurs, 1/20 at 1 pm ET.

Good story and I appreciate the student journalism efforts here. The article mentioned “candy striper” to describe a hospital volunteer. Ugh — I immediately wondered if an older editor added that outdated term. @jazmyndgray @reporterbrooke bostonglobe.com/2021/12/15/m…
This is pretty big news for clinical lab folks regarding a delay in PAMA cuts.

Coming back into the #ClinicalLab media world, I hear a lot about the #Theranos case. I wanted to re-familiarize myself with the whistleblowers, and @ErikaMCheung's words are proof that young people can raise warnings.

Boston Globe headline- Moderna's 3-shot regimen may protect against #Omicron, company chair says
Washington Post headline- Moderna CEO: Existing vaccines might not be as effective against Omicron
Ugh!

"The UK lab’s failures are simply the latest example of how inaccurate test results erode the trust of healthcare consumers and draw the ire of politicians and government regulators."
#Covid #labs
UK clinical laboratory operations suspended following reports of 43,000 false negative COVID-19 PCR test results over five-week span.
