Gifts for Interns - Mugs for Lab Techs
You run the tests that determine treatment. Work in a basement no one visits. And somehow stay calm when doctors need results 'stat' for the fifth time today.
Why This Works
Lab techs are the invisible heroes of healthcare. Without you, doctors are just guessing. You deal with impossible turnaround times and samples that definitely weren't collected properly.
Your coffee mug is the first thing you reach for every morning and the last line of defense against losing it in the 9am standup. A good mug doesn't just hold your caffeine addiction - it communicates your entire personality without you having to speak to anyone before 10am. These mugs say what you're thinking so you don't have to.
