We do a Giemsa on all gastric bx. And never get questioned.  The pathologist
does not have to review the H&E before it's done.  We usually turn it in
with the H&E.

Hi all -
Thanks for response previously for request for DiffQuik stain protocols.

I'm trying to get a sense from all about prodecure/policy -- do the clinical
sites routinely perform a DiffQuik on all Gastric Bxs?
Or do your Pathologists order after initial review of H&E?  And if done on
all Bxs - have there been any questions from your Billing offices about
necessity?

Thanks for any information.
