[Histonet] I need more ammunition

[Joe Nocito]

Wayne,
we perform almost 80 derm cases per day. We use blue sponges and not lens 
paper. The blue sponges make embedding so much faster. Often, the lens paper 
sticks together and makes it a nightmare to embed. Leaving any type of 
tissue on the counter is borderline malpractice. Not only does the tissue 
dry out, making processing and cutting difficult, it reeks havoc with 
immunohistochemistry. You make get no staining, weak staining or so much 
background staining you won't be able to read the slides.
Where are you working? Nothing against you, but I want to make sure none of 
my family and friends are close by and pathology
