[Histonet] Re: Parathyroid Storage

[RSRICHMOND <@t> aol.com]

Joyce Weems asks about parathyroid storage. I suppose she means facilities 
for holding frozen parathyroid tissue for possible re-implantation after 
parathyroid surgery.

I think there is such a facility in Charlotte NC, probably at Charlotte 
Medical Center. I'm on the road and can't check my records.

Our experience in Gastonia was that we sent a lot of parathyroids to the 
facility, but at least as far as we knew, none was ever asked for.
