[Histonet] Gloves....again

[Bartlett, Jeanine]

Prion shouldn't be that big of an issue unless you eat the block.

Point of discussion is that it's very difficult to learn to do these
very hands on tasks with gloves, when you have been doing without for so
long. I thought I'd never get used to doing frozens! There's nothing
like a good warm thumb to make thyroid cut. 

Of course, I'm older than dirt and come from the days when we handled
fresh and fixed tissue without gloves! 

We've come a long way - perhaps we should start new techs off in gloves
and then they'd never know the difference. With prions running amuck, it
would be a good idea. j

Not here, but I don't understand a point of discussion. The GLOVES is
your protection and, some times, it doesn't matter is it fixed tissue or
not. Never know how good tissue is fixed. You are in your own
responsibility: you and your health...........

I'm wondering how many hospital Histology labs out there "require" their
techs to cut  and/or embed with gloves. I'm waging a battle right now
and am looking for back-up.
