What Do Medical Laboratory Scientists Do? W henever a physician orders a laboratory test, whether it is a urinalysis or a blood panel, a med- ical laboratory technician or scientist is playing a vital role in the step-by-step understanding of those laboratory tests. What medical laboratory scientists provide are answers that help uncover mysteries for physicians and their medical teams about their patients. They do this by performing labora- tory tests on human tissue, blood, or other bodily fluids, which give the physicians and their teams a clear picture of the patient’s health. These tests offer vital insight into the inner workings of a patient’s body and his present health status.
