[Histonet] Deeper vs Levels

[Tom McNemar]

To my way of thinking 3 deeper section would be 3 cuts at one deeper level.
I wouldn't think it would be that big of a deal..... Just define it to be
whatever you want it to be.  We had a similar problem a while back with 2
relatively new (at least to us) pathologists.  I added the various terms
(levels, serial, deeper, exhaust, etc.) with definitions to the bottom of
our request sheet.  They now know what to order to get what they want.

We have this on going issue of the use of the terms such as deeper vs 
levels. For this example let's use 3 levels vs 3 deeper sections. There 
is no question regarding the understanding of 3 levels, but what about 3 
deeper sections? My immediate boss says 3 deeper sections are 
essentially 3 recuts at one deeper level. In talking with some of the 
techs, they would treat 3 deeper sections the same as 3 levels. We want 
to clean-up our database and eliminate any confusion. Pathologist thinks 
they are ordering this and get that. Any comments?
