title: Laboratory reverie.
abstract: As a general rule, HMN believes you should avoid making the laboratory business separate from the practice and should maintain the lab technician on the same footing as the rest of the staff with regard to working hours and salary. However, this does not apply to every practice. Sometimes there are distinct advantages to channeling money out of your practice. The discussion above will help you to evaluate your individual situation.
