[Histonet] Control Slides

[Kevin and Chantel Bosewell]

Hello All,
    Our Pathologist believe control slides which are purchased are bomb proof and we should process our own.  How does everyone else feel about this? Oh, and one more question,  when you do any special stain do you review the patient slide or just the control?  I have been asking around and I have been getting different answers.  We recently had a false negative on a GMS for Fungus and this tech does not review the patient slides, in this case the control slide was positive.  Thank you for any insight.
