8:30 in the morning, I and Leizl went to the Davao Medical Center to interview our client. We already gathered data regarding the Blood Transfusion Service in the DMC but we need some more clarifications like what are the problems they have encountered.
During the interview, we found out that they also have to monitor their income. It is not only that they are concern with the crossmatched and uncrossmatched blood but they are also after of their income in that way they can say that they have been working efficiently. There are only 8 Medical Technologists in Blood Transfusion Service and i can say that the man power is quite lacking considering they are catering different people, 24 hours a day. They only have two clerks, who are only available in weekdays but not during night time so the Medical Technologists would do the task in the receiving area.
Their job is very tedious because they are maintaing a lot of records from different department in the Davao Blood Center plus those other health agencies who sends blood to them by bulk like in Red Cross.
We were having a hard time understanding some medical terminologies they have mentioned.
* Time to continue for the documentation for our Thesis and Leizl will be answering our Case Studies. After that, we will be exchanging our ideas.
