In closing, I would like to say thank you to all of you for your hard work and dedication to AMT throughout the year and making the Southern District shine. Each of you truly are the “Pride of the Profession”. I look forward to seeing each of you at your state meeting this year and in Kansas City.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] or phone me ( H) 615-833-3427 or © 615-424-0550.
AMT is the choice for allied health professional certification.

LEGISLATIVE REPORT BY
Annie Washington, MS, MT (AMT), SH(ASCP) CM
AMT members are encouraged to
attend the Annual Legislative
Symposium 2018. The symposium
usually occurs the third weekend in
March each year. It provides an
opportunity for members to see how our political
system works. Members of AMT, ASCP, ASCLS, and
other organizations, join together to provide a unified
front on behalf of our profession. Attendees meet with
their Representative and Senators on Capitol Hill to
present our concerns on issues that may affect the
laboratory profession as well as learn about new health
care issues on the horizon. These face-to-face meetings
between laboratories, legislators, and their staff, helps
create an avenue of communication which may be
helpful when there is a need for advocacy efforts on
behalf of the profession. AMT National Office is urging
members to consider attending the 2018 Symposium.
AMT will help with travel expenses for members who
are interested in attending. Please see AMT website for
details about the 2018 Symposium.

EDITOR’S MESSAGE
As April slowly leaves us and May
has yet to begin, we find ourselves
getting ready for committee
meetings, seminars, and the best of
all, the AMT’s 79th Annual
Convention which is going to be
held in Kansas City, Missouri. If you have
not yet “googled” Kansas City, I can
honestly say, there is a lot of things to do
in that city! They have a zoo, museums, antique toy store, mall,
and tours. There is something for everyone regardless of the age.
AMT’s 80th Annual Convention is going to be held in
Washington, DC , July 3-7, 2018. How exciting will this
convention be as we celebrate the 4th of July in our Nation’s
Capital. Seeing the red, white, and blue fireworks over the
Capital, White House, or Lincoln Memorial will be fond
memories and great photo opportunities.
Tennessee will be holding their annual meeting in
September 22-23, 2017. Virginia members, board of directors,
and officers will be joining us in Johnson City, TN at the
Holiday Inn Express. There will be a variety of speakers and
CEUs available. Come join us for this two day meeting and
make new friends.
Hope to see you soon.

DELEGATE REPORT
THE ARRIVAL OF ALGORITHIMS
BY
Valerie Owens, RMA
Algorithm in the laboratory is actually old
news. Laboratory algorithm is a step-by-step
series of processes with one completion of a
test and/or procedure which includes a
follow-up test to provide the best outcome
for the patient.
There are five things that are looked at in a lab before running a
test: Need, Accuracy, Specificity, Sensitivity, Time and Cost.
With all the changes in the way healthcare obtains
reimbursement, it is necessary to have a strong team in the
laboratory. Our job is to get accurate diagnosis in the most cost
effective way. In order to do this, you should set up a very
effective team that will help with the process. The team needs to
include the following: professionals: frequent ordering
Physicians, Pathologists, Laboratory Personnel, Quality Control
Personnel, IT Personnel, and Financial Personnel. The IT
Personnel has to make sure that the existing technology is
capable of running a new test without adding extra equipment.
The Pathologist and Physicians makes sure that the test are
needed and want be over or under-utilized. Another important
aspect of this, is the test must be able to make a good diagnosis
with the patient’s illness.

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know in 1998, U.S. Congress issued
Bristol, TN as the “Birthplace of Country Music.”
Appalachian Mountain Folk music is still played in
Bristol, TN every year at Bristol’s Rhythm and Roots
Festival held in September. There are many styles of
music from fiddles and banjos to guitars and manolins.
In 1927, Ralph Peer decided not to go to New
York to record local musicians. He decided to go to
Bristol and find the “Hillbilly” acts that were there.
The two acts he found were the Carter Family and
Jimmie Rodgers. In 1928, Rodger’s “Blue Yodel”
became one of the first country records to sell a
million copies. By the time he left Bristol, he recorded
76 songs by 19 acts.
In 1927, the Carter Family made their first
recording. They traveled from Maces Spring, VA (in
Carter County) to Bristol TN. After making a record,
they were compensated $50 per song.
Today, there has been many country stars that have
passed thru Bristol. Some include: Conway Twitty,
Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams Sr., Randy Travis, Travis
Tritt, Risky Skaggs, Merle Haggard, Chet Akins, Lee
Greenwood, BJ Thomas, Kathy Mattea, and many
more. As the Geico lizard would say, “Ya’ll come on
down and stay awhile.”

DELEGATE REPORT BY
BONNIE WISEMAN, MT
Exceptional! What a great AMT
78th Educational Program and
National Meeting in Memphis,
Tennessee. The education,
networking, and fellowship were
special. The AMT family came from
across the United States and as far
as Africa, Trinidad, and Tobago. Valuable information
from many speakers was presented at the AMT
National Meeting. My overview of “Diabetes” was
presented by Kathy Kenwright, MS, MT (ASCP) MB
According to Kathy Kenwright, because of
patient sensitivity, “The American Diabetes
Association (ADA) believes that diabetes does not
define people. The World “diabetic” is no longer used
when referring to individuals with diabetes. Diabetes
does not discriminate whether famous or not. There
are many celebrities that have been diagnosed with
diabetes such as: Larry King, Paula Deen, Jay Cutler,
and Billy Jean King.
There are three classifications of diabetes and
they include: Type I is juvenile diabetes. Type II is
often called “Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
NIDDM) or Maturity Onset Diabetes
19
Mellitus. The third type is Gestational Diabetes
which is usually experienced by pregnant women.
Kathy introduced a form of diabetes that was
unfamiliar to me. It is called “Type 1.5”.According to
the ADA, type 1.5 diabetes, Latent Autoimmune
Diabetes occurs in adults (LADA). This type
develops in adulthood and can be classified as a more
slowly progressing variation of Type I Diabetes, yet it
is often misdiagnosed as Type 2 Diabetes. “There is
yet a great deal of un-certainity of how to define
LADA, according to ADA.”
Due to patient sensitivity, Kathy Kenwright
listed ,“What not to say to a person with diabetes, can
you eat that?” My aunt had diabetes and she went
blind, lost her feet, her kidneys failed, and then she
passed away. Accurate self-monitoring of blood
glucose readings and proper training is required.
In conclusion, I would like to thank
TNSSAMT for allowing me to attend AMT’s 78th
National Meeting as a delegate. We all may know an
associate or family member that has been diagnosed
with diabetes. Be there as a friend and give them
support. There is to be more research before we get
this disease under controlled or no
longer exists.

DELEGATE REPORT
BY
KIM WHEELER, MT
I was pleased to represent our
great state at the National
Educational Meeting in
Memphis. I attended the Blood
Management session by Bridget
Head, BS, MT (ASCP).
Patient Blood Management has both
professional and public definitions, but both
stress the effort to improve patient outcome as
the main objective. Physicians, nurses, med
techs, phlebotomists, and hospital administration
are all responsible for patient blood
management. Blood administration is the most
common medical procedure performed in a
hospital. Blood is considered as a drug and its
use is controlled and monitored by the FDA,
CAP, Joint Commission, and the AABB. As is
the case with any drug, there are risks associated
with its use of transfusion-related acute lung
(continued)
21
Injury (TRAIL), being the most common
adverse problem. Nearly one-half of all RBC
administered are inappropriate and this can be
of concern because blood needs to be available
for patients whom require a transfusion.
Patients transfused with a Hgb of 7/g/dl had
similar outcomes as cardiac patients being
transfused at 10g/dl. Blood banks need to
conserve AB plasma, Rh negative, and use
Vitamin K to reverse Warfarin effects.
Phlebotomists also need to conserve extra
blood draws as over time they can result in
anemia for the patient.
Patients must be informed of the risks,
benefits, and alternative treatments to blood
transfusions and consent to the administration.
The form must be signed and included in the
patient’s chart. The patient may refuse blood
products on religious bases.
The risk verses the benefits must
carefully be evaluated when transfusions are
being considered. As presented by the lecture,
“if you cannot demonstrate benefits, all you are
offering your patient is risk.”Aryeh
Shander, MD, Chief of Anesthesiology, Englew
Hospital, New Jersey.

DELEGATE REPORT BY
ANNIE WASHINGTON, MS, MT (AMT)
ASSESSING SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF NUTRIENT
DEFICIENCES
It had been a few years since I attended an
AMT national meeting, but when I heard that
the 2016 meeting would be held at the
Peabody Hotel in Memphis, which happens
to be the city I call home. I knew I couldn’t
miss it. I took the opportunity to walk around
downtown and see the many changes that
had taken place in the last few years. I enjoy sitting in the
Peabody lobby, hear the music of the grand piano, and just
watch people. The ambience of the grand hotel is so very
special.
Playing tourist was great but alas, I had to attend some
education sessions too. One that I attended was “Assessing
Signs and Symptoms of Nutrient Deficiencies-What is Your
Body Trying to Tell You?” presented by Celeste Grande,
BS., MT (AMT), MNT, CTACC Certified Functional
Nutritionist and wellness coach. Ms. Grande talked about how
the food industry has manipulated the way our food looks,
smells, and tastes for more than 50 years. She notes that it is
often cheap for the food industry to processes large quantities of
foods, but there is a cost to pay. Processed foods can cause
many health issues such as inflammation, gas, bloating,
constipation, and diarrhea. Also, packaging and marketing of
these same processed foods has made convenient fast food look
like perfectly good choices for busy families.
23
Much of the food we eat contains added sugar, salt, fat, artificial
flavors, and preservatives that are used to make food taste better
and last longer on grocery store shelves. Many of these foods do
not contain the essential nutrients that our body needs in order to
function properly. According to Ms. Grande, signs of
deficiencies can be seen in the skin and nails as well as
conditions such as inflammatory bowel disorders, loss of or
impaired sense of taste, and increased infections. The dangers of
nutritional deficiencies are many and varied. An example of this
would be iron deficiency. Iron deficiency can cause thin,
cracked, flattened nails while vitamin A deficiency can cause
night vision blindness. Vitamin C deficiencies can cause swollen
gums, easy bruising of the skin, and low vitamin D can cause
stunted growth bone fractures and teeth deformities. These are
just a few of the ways that vitamin deficiencies can manifest
themselves.
Ms. Grande suggested that health care workers should be very
careful when patients present with nonspecific complaints such
as loss of appetite, muscle weakness, and digestive problems as
these may actually be symptoms of a nutrient deficiency. During
the office visit, patients should be asked questions that allow the
healthcare worker to ascertain the nutrition status of the patient.
Never assume that the patient is following a healthy diet and
drinking plenty of water.
It is suggested that the best way to prevent nutrient deficiencies
is to eat a healthy diet that includes foods from all of the food
groups. Choose fresh whole foods as often as possible, limit fast
foods, and avoid pre-packaged, processed foods. Drink plenty of
water and avoid or limit the number of high sugar drinks
consumed. Don’t assume that a diet is healthy because it is low
in calories.
