[Histonet] Liver biopsy concerns

[Kemlo Rogerson]

Why don't you do a scrimp slide? Just drag the biopsy over a clean glass
slide to dislodge as many cells as possible and then fix the cells on
the slide with spray fix. You stain the cells and if they are similarly
disrupted it isn't your Techs; the problem is therefore in vitro.

We have mysterious artefact in our Renal biopsies (shattering and
strange cellular 'cracking') which i am pretty sure come from a similar
scenario the pathologists are dead keen to blame my techs - but i have
conducted several detailed investigations of all our processes and found
NOTHING lab-related to convince me that they are to blame have been on
several procedures myself and am very suspicious of the interventional
radiologists and particularly the local anaesthetic being pumped into
the op-site but alas, no-one listens - they just carry on and do their
own thing
