[Histonet] Arm Rests

[Jackie M O'Connor]

Yeah - don't use em.  Since I had developed tendinitis in both elbows from 
microtomy,  EHS ergonomics people at a former employer decided to invent 
some.  They covered them with some fake vinyl material, and the very first 
day I tried using them, my elbow slipped on the shiny vinyl and I cut off 
the tip of my finger on the blade.   I have since learned that resting 
your forearms on the sharp edge of the bench caused my tendinitis.   Since 
I quit that bad habit, I haven't had a recurrence in 15 years -  nor have 
I cut myself.
