[Histonet] release of tissues

[Richard Cartun]

We do not release any tissue to patients or family members.  If they want the specimen they have to go through a funeral home.

   Hi all,


   How  would  you  handle  a  request  from  a surgeon, f= or release of
   gallstones  or  any  tissue,  to  a  patient? Assuming a 'Rele= ase of
   Tissue'  request form, indicating the biohazard staus of the tissue,    is signed by the patient, is this commom practice?


   Thanks for your responses,

   Mary Sue
