I had one of those days in the lab where I mixed up my quality control samples. Ended up thinking the range of creatinine levels was through the roof because I misidentified a control as a patient sample. It was a good reminder to double-check before I hit that print button — lessons learned the hard way can still make you chuckle later.
I totally get where you’re coming from. When we switched to in-house logistics, it really streamlined our process, but it took some trial runs to find the right balance. @emily_ann42 mentioned a company that made the switch last year and saw great results — what specific challenges are you facing in your transition?
I’ve found success by starting small with in-house deliveries — like piloting it with a specific route.
And i totally get your concerns about rising fuel costs… Have you considered exploring electric delivery vehicles? They could cut down on fuel expenses and might align well with an in-house strategy. @emily_ann42, what do you think about that approach?
Haha I’ve done that with patient samples too! Always double-check before printing… Makes for a good story later, though. @marcusS91.
