Hi, First, I DO work for BioCare Medical on the ea= st coast and, Godsgalnow, you are right. Joe Myers is a great guy, very hel= pful and knowledgable. I'm not an HT, but I sure have learned a LOT from hi= m. Just about everyone that knows him thinks he's great.
Bill, as far as the Star Trek references, our Director of Scie= ntific Affairs-David Tacha-is a Star Trek fanatic from WAY back. If you eve r get to go into his office, there's a replica scanner and phaser plus two = commemorative plates (one of Kirk and one of Picard) on a bookcase. He's a = great guy too. He's the one that developed our multiplex staining system an= d various "cocktails". BioCare is a good company to work for and with. I've worked fo= r several laboratory companies-in my 21 years of lab sales-and I've only go= tten to work for a few that were as customer and patient focused as BioCare= Medical. I really enjoy working for them. Regards, Steven Hacker Mar 12, 2009 02:07:39 PM, [1]god= sgal...@aol.com wrote: Plus, they ha= ve Joe Meyer!? He can come and give workshops at your facility for which yo= u can get CEUs for, as he has been approved by NSH as a provider. -----Original Message----- From: O'Donnell, Bill <[2]billodonn...@catholichealth.net> To: [3]godsg= al...@aol.com; [4]hor...@archildrens.org; [5]anne.le...@bms.com; [6]histo...@lists.utsout= hwestern.edu; [7]jlhow...@yrmc.org Sent: Thu, 12 Mar 20= 09 1:52 pm Subject: RE: [Histonet] Dako That's who I went= with as well.
