[Histonet] pc labs

[Rebecca Johnson]

Sorry if I have caused all of this confusion. First I am very disappointed 
in some of my fellow HT or HTL.  I have worked in histology long enough to 
realize their are money hungry doctors in hospital settings and private 
labs. Money is their first concern. Also I have experienced it doesn't 
matter what the histology dept. education is HT, HTL, BS or PHD.  Just 
because those initials are behind your name does not give one the knowledge 
or experience to be qualified to be in a histology lab.I am one that is in 
favor to see the need for education, but that does not always mean the tech 
has the knowledge.  I have also seen some techs that have a hard time 
passing the written section of the ASCP exam.  Sometimes they just have a 
hard time with testing.  As for me I don't want to work for any Doctor in a 
hospital or private lab that their concern is only on the money.  I will 
only associate my name with the best (this being quality patient care).  I 
think we have all seen medicine is not what it use to be.  Insurance 
companies and the government have made changes.  Do we agree with it all NO. 
As for private labs you are not well educated on them, the private lab has 
regulations that they must meet and are CLIA inspected some are CAP and 
JACO. I do realized there are labs out there that are meat markets. I sent 
this request because I thought this was the intent of the Histnet, sharing 
valuable information and experiences.  Sorry if this offend some of you.
Thanks
