[Histonet] Friday Fun Fume

[Joe Nocito]

Ok, here you go. I know TV is TV but did anyone catch the CSI episode last 
night?
The "doctor" cut a piece of skin off of a "victim, placed it a cassette, 
filled it with paraffin, then put it on a Lietz microtome, cut a ribbon, 
placed it on a glass slide, then used a Bunsen burner to fit it to the 
slide. HELLO, where is the processing people? Who are the technical advisors 
for this show?
No wonder why people think they can do our jobs with depictions like that.
I'M fuming.
