[Histonet] Re: goodbye

[Tony Henwood]

I continually remind any vendors whose performance is sub-optimal that if I get sued by a family for incorrect results resulting from their products that my lawyer will be on their case before they have time to cough!!
So far no disgruntled families!!

Because they are, essentially, in the business of making money; patient care is usually not even in their "radar screen"!

  It happened to me also - maybe this happens more than we think??? I was chastised by a vendor when I asked if anybody else was experiencing a 
certain phenomenon with one of their products. He told me that I should 
have gone to them instead of asking my question on histonet. Well, I did 
and really didn't get any help from them when I did this before going to 
histonet. Instead they were trying to tell me to change my technique. I 
don't know about you, but after you do something one way for 25 or more 
years it would seem that it wouldn't be the technique - or not usually. 
Long story short, we danced around this problem until somebody finally told 
me they had a bad batch of base "product" that went into certain lots. 
Bingo! Thank God for the brave soul that finally admitted that the company 
did have a problem but why couldn't they admit it weeks sooner and save me 
the grief that I had with my tissues?
By the way, there were others out in histoland having the same problem. 
Hope they got it fixed too.
