[Histonet] Certification - Part I

[Monson, Frederick]

Halloween story of a 'tech' who lacked a certificate.
T'was a Sunday, and he, a student at the age of 24,  was "ON" for the weekend covering blood bank, chemistry, and hematology.  A call came in for a unit of blood for a Friday surgical - just to bring the patient up to speed.  He, for reasons never given, decided to practice  'crossing' by doing up 10 units - all of which passed.  One he sent to the patient.  Two hours later he received a call for another unit, because, as he was informed, his hematocrit was unchanged.  What did he do?
