[Histonet] Re: Clinical use of Co-path

I can beat that- when I started in 1987 at my hospital they used the "L" 
molds on a cold metal tray, pouring out of a pot, using a bunsen burner to 
flame your foreceps. I had only seen that process in a book!.Needless to say 
I have completely modernized my lab. We've come a long way!!
