Jobs Salary Expectations by Dean Forster A medical lab assistants
job is one of the toughest, demanding and physically exhausting
jobs ever. A medical lab assistant is one of the pillars of
the medical society, providing support and a helping hand
to doctors, physicians and civilians alike.
A medical lab assistant's job is to
take care of the administrative as well as clinical tasks
of the hospital or individual he is working under. One could
look at a medical lab assistant as the support staff needed
for any major event. A medical assistant provides help in
various forms in a medical environment such as a medical lab,
clinic or a hospital.A medical assistant performs a lot of
jobs, all physically as well as mentally demanding. This is
not a job for people weak at heart. In his lifetime, a medical
assistant sees things which people have rarely ever seen.
A medical assistant's daily jobs may require him / her to
perform various chores like wheeling in stretchers and trolleys,
taking blood samples, sterilising equipment, quality and waste
control, maintaining and operating various machines, various
forms of testing and sometimes in lean hours may even extend
to some clerical work.
As it is widely known, a medical
lab assistant's job is not an easy one. Due to the high level
of physical requirements this job is only for strong people,
persons who can weather out the rough job on a daily basis.
Though the main requirement for the job is physical prowess,
it is not only just muscle that matters. It is a common misconception
that medical assistant's are all about muscle and physicality.
Contrary to expectations a medical
assistant is often a highly educated and intelligent person.
A medical assistant is required to monitor patients and often
administer medicines and perform blood tests etc. all of which
requires a high level of intelligence, patience and knowledge.According
to surveys performed by a few famous companies, it has been
established that a normal medical assistant under normal circumstances
works for about 35-50 hours a week, normally from Monday to
Friday and averages a pay of about £17,000 - £20,000 for a
trainee and about £25,000 for a professional medical assistant
per year. Click here
