>Could anyone share with me the average # of blocks per case at their institution.  I would like figures from hospitals comparable to ours.  We are a city hospital with approximately 25,000 routine surgical cases per year.  We receive a wide range of specimens. 25% are derm, 25% are GI biopsies and the rest are complex specimens.  Thank you in advance for your help.

Just curious... Of what possible use is such a number?
