Details about Inside Laboratory Medicine: A Memoir of Healthcare Behind the Scenes:
In a quarter million clinical laboratories in the United States alone, techs work every day with little visibility or recognition. During the Covid pandemic, they risked exposure and worked extensive overtime running tests to produce accurate, timely results for patients. At all times, they must learn ever-changing technology while managing family life around a demanding job. This book chronicles the unseen work of laboratory technicians, technologists, and aides through interviews and the author's experience working in a clinical lab for more than 40 years, a time that saw astounding changes in lab technology, methodology, and testing. Most importantly, this book provides the human story of patients, diseases, and conditions diagnosed and monitored through lab work.

Robert L.
Education: Brookline MA
Major: Experienced tutor in Boston would love to help you with history, geography, and civics.
I first tutored over 25 years ago, helping my friend pass the math exam required to graduate from Maryland public high schools. A few years ago, he told me (with some exaggeration, I assume!) that the day he learned that he passed the exam was the happiest day of his life. I began tutoring regularly in college, and have since tutored close to twenty students in English (including ESL), reading, phonics, spelling, Hebrew, American and world history, geography, and arithmetic. I've only tutored a few students in history and geography. But I enjoyed sharing with them my interest in the actions and consequences that shape the continuous narrative of history behind the names and dates, and my fascination with where things are in relation to one another. I would also enjoy sharing my interest in the operation of government and the democratic process in the United States. Read more
