In this episode, host Dr. Erin McCreary (@erinmccreary) talks all things micro labs and stewardship with Dr. Romney Humphries (@romneyinla), Dr. Mary Hutton (@m3rkat), and Dr. Joseph Lutgring. From cascading results and breakpoint changes, to making connections within and outside of the lab, we hope you listen, laugh, and learn!
