Hello All,
We have an after hours clinic that handles our exposures with our packet. The attachment for BBPE guides that care, but it needs another update. The lab changes test codes/names
pretty frequently. Infectious Disease is on call for all exposures.

Hi team,
I have a favor to ask the group.
