I'd send an email to both of them, show's them that you're being proactive and taking the initiative to look out for patient care AND the best interests of the lab/hosp. Include the lab director to get credit for your high level of care, so the manager doesn't take all the credit. This is how you move up the food chain, prove you're more valuable then what they're currently using you for.

Let s/he figure that out! Just warn your manager about the loss of quality with a measure like the one you have been asked to comply with. You are better off if you discuss this issue with the lab director. René J. From: Teresa Moore <tmoor...@gmail.com> To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2013 2:22 PM Subject: [Histonet] Blade Rationing Follow-up I really appreciate everyone's constructive comments regarding my post on blade rationing. Lots of you said there are many other ways to cut costs in the lab. I would like to hear some of your suggestions so I can take them back to my manager. I'd like to give her some legitimate alternatives to her proposal. Would like to contribute to solving the problem of cutting costs.
