Anyone else think this Rene fella comes across as a real know-it-all?

Lynette:
Since it was received in saline and the tissue has its normal consistency I would prepare a squash (squash the tissue between 2 glass slides not between coverslips) with a rotary movement so you have 2 large areas of squashed tissue. After that, air dry, fix with methanol, air dry again and stain with Giemsa.
That is what I would do. Try it if you do not have a better option.

I need help!  Just received a needle biopsy of liver submitted in normal
saline.  They did all the routine cultures/ fungal, and are requesting a
wet mount on this tissue for Entamoeba Trophozoites.  
I have contacted all of my resources in and out of state, and they
cannot help me. 

HELP!!

thanks, 
Lynette
