no in med lab its super illegal to perform diagnostic tests on your own samples, you have to jump through the same hoops as everyone else and trust the system to handle it. In research/experiments its a little more relaxed.
We’re regulated health professionals, its like how we can’t work on a family member or friend, it introduces bias. Its just the law and I understand why. I don’t think doctors can self-diagnose either, they need an appointment for someone else to do it just like everyone else.

I mean you couldn’t get a script/diagnosis on that info, but I wouldn’t think there’d be any issues with putting a sample under a slide for funsies?
