This has been an ongoing issue for so many years in histology, I've always 
anted to see a mandatory license in the field but that always starts a 
irestorm of controversy. If you have surgery, you certainly want a board 
ertified surgeon to do it and same with the Pathologist that looks at the 
lides so wouldn't you want a certified tech doing the lab work as well?

A hospital that relies on uncertified techs to do histology work is motivated by 
he pursue of costs cuts (you can call it greed!) and shows total disregard for 
uality of work and patient care. They may end losing all those savings when 
ettling a legal case.

Any thoughts or experiences with my fellow HT/HTL's(ASCP).  What the big=0
Ddvantage do all these facilities think there gaining by going with unregistered
echs, especially when theres always ongoing quality issues when theres so many
rained certified HT looking for work?  In my area of the country I can't
elieve how many Hospitals go this way.
