I am a Spanish Clinical Laboratory Technician and I think that our work matters because lab tests are an essential complimentary tool for doctors in the diagnosis, prevention, treatment and monitoring of illness and health. Also our job contributes and collaborates in the research and new findings in the biomedical sciences. Medical practice and patient care is not possible nowadays without our daily work in the different areas of clinical and research laboratories.
