Introduction In this capstone project, we were expected to discuss a topic relevant to the laboratory in which we deemed important. In the pre-analytical steps that lead to the brainstorming and writing of this capstone project we reflected on how few in numbers or major was and how little others knew of our major. In addition to these facts, we discussed how a recent hospital neglected to include a laboratory in their initial design made us question our importance. After these discussions, we…
