Did you stop to think that your patient just might be positive for 
glycogen?

Bizarre things happen here all the time, but this is REALLY BIZARRE!
We'll do a PAS w/ diastase and our control tissue will be digested but the 
patient tissue won't be. They are mounted on the same slide! 
The next day we will run the stain again and we tried turning the slide 
upside-down in the Coplin jar. Same problem.
We mixed fresh diastase solution and tried again. Same problem.
Tomorrow, we may run it again and it will work fine.
What could be going on?
I'm perplexed!
