Call this self-serving, but Shelley decides to take this opportunity to shed more light about what happens to the samples sent in for medical testing. She teaches Natalie a little bit about the basics of microbiology and gives a rundown of a typical day in a medical microbiology lab, and how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the lab.

Patients might not always interact directly with lab professionals, but that doesn't mean they're not an important part of the healthcare team. It's also time that other healthcare professionals understand that.
