[Histonet] patients taking home placentas

[Marshall, Kimberly]

I have come across this several times.  Each time we grossed the
placenta, but did not take specimens.  Before they took it home I had to
have them sign a release of information as well as paperwork
acknowledging they understand that it is a bio-hazard.  This same form
is also worded to release the hospital of any blame in the event someone
gets sick, or it surfaces after a big rain.  Not sure  if that helps but
that is what my Pathologist has be doing.  Good luck with this.
