[Histonet] Training first time cutters

[Bernice Frederick]

It varies in my opinion. Some people take longer to catch on. I think
ability goes along with workload- I cut quickly and accurately whereas
others cut slower and just as accurately. I find I can vary as to tissue
also- it depends on the tech.
