I don't know about the lack of scar tissue. I have lots on my finger tips
from my base sledge days. In fact, I was told by the big boss that I wasn't
really a fully qualified histology tech until I needed to have at least two
stiches for a cut. Fortunately for me I stayed non-fully qualified,
although I did come close a few times!

In the UK it is number of blocks cut that are recognised as the
significant milestones in ones career, after cutting 100,000 blocks the
Health and Safety Executive come along and count one's fingers, if
they are all present and correct with no significant scar tissue
then one is presented with a metal badge in the shape of an
outstretched hand, this is much prized by all who receive it, although
they are often greeted on their return to the laboratory by their less
fortunate colleagues with the traditional Agincourt salute.

This may seem really trivial......... But I was anxiously awaiting my 20
year gold sticker to put on my certificate (I had received a gold sticker at
10 years) and all I got was the usual sticker, although a different shape
now. So I called ASCP and they told me they don't give them out for 20
years, just 25 years. Well, I am not amused! I don't even know if I will
be doing histology in 5 more years. Any comments? The rate we are losing
histotechs, they should give them out for every 5 years.....
sorry for bitchin..................... Sarah
