[Histonet] Need your help

[Geoff McAuliffe]

Dear Nita:

    Keeping in mind that I have NO clinical experience ...........  I 
think Doug is correct. Sounds like someone has given the pathologist a 
job he does not want to do and he is dumping it on you and trying to 
avoid blame. Where are you supposed to find this data, the Journal of 
SubStandard Care? Also, might YOU get blamed for trying to second guess 
surgeons? If he wants you to pull blocks/slides/reports on some cases 
that HE selects, sounds OK to me (again keeping in mind that I am not 
involved in clinical matters).  Good luck!
