[Bauer, Karen]

Yep, we are tested yearly.  We've all been negative, and that's nice to
know...

Subject: [Histonet] TB exposure


Karen Bauer recounts the appalling story of a technologist heavily exposed
to 
tuberculosis, and then being refused a tuberculin test. 

Sort of like you can't have chlorhexidine germicidal hand wash in the
autopsy 
room, because an autopsy room doesn't rate as a high-class handwashing 
facility. Ignaz Semmelweis is turning over in his grave.

Surely your hospital requires every employee to have tuberculin tests done
on 
a regular basis - it's a JCAHO requirement, for one thing.
