I just wanted to say that the suggestion below seems to be a good one. I think that it is good practice to formally bring your concerns and complaints directly to the person who may attend to them. That being said, tact and diplomacy can help here. If you get a bad response, you have convered yourself and given them the opportunity to resond, correct and explain.
But, I do think that the suggestion to push the formal act of officially hiring a minor does place the responsibility directly on the party employing her with regards to her rights to safety, appropriate PPE, and training -that other "offical" employees enjoy. This may resolve the situation. But it sounds to me that there are other interpersonal issues as well? However, clearing one issue can only serve to lessen the stress and tension. Hope this helps?

But I feel that I have to clarify the situation. In this state, HT's are very hard to come by. So with that in mind, the Pathologist suggested his 15 year old daughter to help me, working summers and holidays. The plan is for me to train her as a Histology student taking their clinical. Also, the Pathologist wants her to take the on-line HT program to get certified. Do you not have to have a high school diploma first? She is only 15!! She is also to be paid by the companies payroll. She has not been exposed to any of the basics. So therefore, I am "teaching" a minor every aspect of Histology. When I need time off, she will be responsible for the work that is performed. This includes embedding, microtomy, staining, special stains, IHC's, maintenance; etc. She would be a 15 year old doing the work of a certified HT. To this I feel very uncomfortable. In response, I called our state Child Labor law> department and they said that it is ILLEGAL for a minor, under the age of 17 to be working in the medical laboratory, especially with blood borne pathogens. When she is here, I am solely responsible for her as her parent is usually unavailable, so therefore no direct supervision by the Pathologist. If "caught", I don't want to loose my HT license because of this. If I disagree> to not "teach" his daughter, I know there will be consequences for me.

Hi all
http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/youthlabor/agerequirements.htm#lawregs
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)-The rules vary depending upon the particular age of the minor and the particular job involved. As a general rule, the FLSA sets 14 years of age as the minimum age for employment, and limits the number of hours worked by minors under the age of 16.
Also, the FLSA generally prohibits the employment of a minor in work declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor (for example, work involving excavation, driving, and the operation of many types of power-driven equipment). The FLSA contains a number of requirements that apply only to particular types of jobs (for example, agricultural work or the operation of motor vehicles) and many exceptions to the general rules (for example, work by a minor for his or her parents). Each state also has its own laws relating to employment, including the employment of minors. If state law and the FLSA overlap, the law which is more protective of the minor will apply.
The FLSA "covers" or applies to all employees of certain "enterprises." All employees of an enterprise, as defined by the FLSA, are covered regardless of the duties they perform. If a worker is not an employee of one of these enterprises, he or she may still be covered if the employee's own duties meet certain interstate commerce requirements
"enterprise" inlcudes: A hospital, or an institution primarily engaged in the care of the sick, the aged, or the mentally ill or mentally retarded who live on the premises (it does not matter if the hospital or institution is public or private or is operated for profit or not-for-profit)
Regulations29 CFR §570.2 Minimum Age Standards for Nonagricultural Employment
29 CFR §§570.31-34

Hello all,
My pathologist asked me to de-stain a PAS-stained section of
liver and re-stain it with a trichrome. I've never decolorized anything
other than an H&E. Would I still use acid alcohol and if so for how
long? I've read that potassium metabisulfite will take out excess
Schiff's but I've never tried that and I don't have any. Any
suggestions/tips?
Thank you,
Christine Bark HT(ASCP)

You have appeared to try every bluing agent possible, however in my experience the most common cause of pale nuclei in frozen sections is inadequate fixation. What are you using? The best I have used is 5% Conc Formalin in 95% Ethanol for at least 30 sec and longer if time permits.
All the best.

Kathy,
You may also want to consider the thickness of your sections. A great deal of our information is gatered at scanning magnification of 2x or 4x. If you are cutting at 3 or
4 microns or if your cryostat is offering a variety of thick and thin the slides will
be pale at these powers compared to 5 or 6 micron sections. Presence of a lot of
nuclear "holes"is a sign it is cut very thin. Also make sure your hematoxalin is
changed regularly and is not growing "rock candy" in the bottom. Check slide after it leaves the bluing and get to know the shade of blue that represents a well stained slide. Remember when checking the slides, the amount of blue will depend on the densityof nuclear material as well as the thickness of the tissue. I find the actual shade
of blue tells me that it has been stained in hemotoxalin long enough.

Shirley,
You can find power adapters at travel stores, or even WalMart. The one I took to Honduras had the various countries or regions where it might be applicable listed right on the package.
BTW, we were not allowed to carry on our scope. Security at the gate informed us only one carry-on into Honduras was allowed, so we had to make some quick and scary decisions; the poor scope had to go with baggage. Call your airlines to see if Mexico is similar, and at least your scope can be packed appropriately.

>From an interested Pathologist:
I think you are building a bomb to attack an mouse!
When our son and daughter were 14 and 15 years old I was proud to have them
VOLUNTEER (non-paid) service to the our laboratory. First to meet the fine
people who worked in the department. Second to learn about "dad's work", and
third to develop a sense of appreciation for our work in serving others.
The children benefited by the social relationship and grew in responsibility
by graduating from tasks of simple "go for's", observers, awarded
responsibility.
They were not permitted to prepare patient materials but they were, over a
period of summer volunteer effort, taught to make a collection of their own
slides and even to do a frozen section.
The experience is a treasured memory and valued experience for the
Pathologist and his family and for the bonding of employees who for that
period were extended members of the family.
Our son is now completing his residency in orthopaedic Surgery and our
daughter is a junior officer in a New York company where she has employees
reporting to her service.
I continue to communicate with the lab employees and they always ask
.....tell us how your son and daughter are doing and send them our love.
The well operated pathology lab is no more dangerous than a high school
biology and chemistry laboratory.
I believe you would do yourself,the lab.,the pathologist and the 15 year old
a great service by reexamining the situation in a more generous and
understanding way. If you are at odds with the pathologist.... take time to
visit with him and structure a helping and learning experience for the young
lady who just happens to be your bosses daughter.
Ask the young lady to observe and take notes for a week. Chart the path of a
patient specimen from the beginning through the final diagnosis. Write
(required) a report of the reason the specimen was sent to the lab. The
complete process/path of the specimen through the lab,and the final
result/diagnosis for the patient's benefit.
If the 15 year old does this there will be a change in the climate and "dad"
will be amazed at what you contribute to the process of health care and to
the maturing of his daughter.
Just a few thoughts from a Pathologist and dad with success written in the
log of his children and their bonding to the profession.
Sincerely, and in the spirit of helping.
Please give a copy of this note to your pathologist.
Kindest regards,
J.B.McCormick, M.D.

Here is how I see your problem:
1- you have already contacted the Child and Labor Dept. about this issue,
so it is very likely (if they are doing their job) that the will "pay a
visit" to the lab and talk with the pathologist.
2- if that is what is going to happen you are going to be in trouble.
3- as the "youngster's" trainer you are accomplice to the violation,
because you know her age and keep training her.
4- if this pathologist is also calling names to others, he is an absolute
jerk that thinks is owner, not only of the place, but of the world.
5- I don't think this is the right place to work so sooner or later you
should try to find a new place to work.
6- if that is going to be how this whole issue is going to end, I think
that you should do what is correct and tell him that you are not willing to
participate in violating the laboral laws and stop training his daughter.
You will sleep better and perhaps this fellow will realize that he is
doing something wrong and that you are not willing to accept the situation.
At least that is what I would do. Consult with some close friend or family
member and present a formal complaint with Child Labor BEFORE doing #6. If
he fires you because of this then you will have PROOF that you complained
against him because of a law violation and will be able to claim
unemployment, even if he says that you were fired for "work substandard
performance", you will have proof that this is not the case, but revenge
against you.
Good luck!

I have roughly 2 dilemmas. The first is of a legal matter. The Pathologist
for a week has had his daughter (15 years old), helping
me out in the histology lab. He wants her to get training from me, then do
the on-line HT program. She has handled chemicals
and reagents. I am very uncomfortable with this. I have called the Child
Labor Laws department for our state and it is illegal
for a 15 year to be in a laboratory. Needless to say working with blood
borne pathogens. My most concern is the following. As her "teacher",
can I or other co-workers can be held accountable if this is illegal and is
found out? This pathologist mind you is the owner of the business.
I am afraid if I say something, I will get fired. Where do I go from here or
if there is someone who has a similar circumstance happen to them.
The other scenario is that this same Pathologist has called a tech a
slandering name, twice. There is no "upper management" to go to
since he is the owner of the business. I was wondering if this is considered
harassment and can this be used to nullify a contract signed
by both parties for employment.
Concerned,

Hi Karla,
If it turns out that there is nothing illegal about training her, would you
still have a problem doing it?
You mentioned that the pathologist has called someone a name. I'm guessing
that he might not be well liked. If that's the case, would this be
something that his daughter would be likely to notice?
One final question, are you the only HT in the lab?

With no experience outside of the academic lab, let me tell you: break every
taboo you can. Especially if it deals with a daughter and father--put her
in control (ie she knows what she's doing, or at least you taught her that)
and keep the father in it as little as possible. This is what we need in
our labs!
It takes a small change to create a fantastic lab--I hope you create that,
regardless of the company's position in the stock market or expected
financial ground.
I speak from my idealistic grant world (in which, believe me, they don't
afford me anything over 2.5% living wage of 29000, the latest), yet I love
my job and wouldn't give it up for the world. (Background: 31 with a BS in
microbio, been a technician for 9 years and loving it)
Consider that when you get a kid--would they love it as much as a geek like
me?
I <3 my science job,
Emily

Hi histonetters,
One of my pathologists here at Mercer is presently preparing to go on a
medical mission trip to Mexico with a group of our medical students. She
has a somewhat old but beloved AO microscope (model is an 1130A) to take
with her. The bulb is an Osram halogen xenophot with the letters/numbers on
it - HLX 64250 ESB 6V 20W. There is no switch to select voltages.
Do you have a recommendation for any required adapter, she was told they
will have power (possibly from a generator) where the clinic will be located
but does not know what voltage to expect. Any help will be appreciated. I
know nothing of electricity requirements in other countries and we are
trying to get all that they will need while there.
Thanks!

PAS is a very strong reaction extremely difficult to destain. Acid treatments that could fade it will affect the reactivity of the tissue for further staining procedures.

Hello all,
My pathologist asked me to de-stain a PAS-stained section of
liver and re-stain it with a trichrome. I've never decolorized anything
other than an H&E. Would I still use acid alcohol and if so for how
long? I've read that potassium metabisulfite will take out excess
Schiff's but I've never tried that and I don't have any. Any
suggestions/tips?
Thank you,
