[Histonet] Liver bxs

[Mike Pence]

Ask to be present at the next liver bx time and see for yourself their handling of the specimen. Sounds like it set out for some time.

> We had a liver bx come from Radiology and we processed it as usual but under the microscope our pathologist said it was unreadable, the edges had artifact, and it had inconsistent staining (on the H&E, iron, and trichrome  slides).  The radiologist claims he put the specimen directly into formalin. All of our other bxs and tissue were fine.  This was the case before when it happened and we have only had this problem with liver bxs!
