RE: Med Techs in Canada

From:"Monson, Frederick C."

Do Med Techs have to be socialized before they can work in Canadah?

My 1.6 cents worth - or less!

And, has CSLT become CSMLT?  Here that would be, "Cold Salami with Mayo,
Lettuce and Tomato!", much more tasty than its drier predecessor.

P.S.  And yes, once and for all, we skipped right over the elementary
scientific imaging!
